Hint	Answer
Neuron defintion	nerve cells that process and transmit messages through electrical signals
cell body	contains the nucleus which contains genetic material
axon	a long extension from the cell body
myelin sheath	insulates and protects the axon
	speeds up electrical transmission
terminal button	sends signals to an adjacent cell
dendrite	receives nerve impulses from adjacent neurons
nodes of ranvier	gaps in the myelin sheath which speed up transmission
Sensory	from pns to cns
	pseudounipolar

Hint	Answer
	allows reflex actions to occur
	long dendrites and short axons
Relay neuron	found in the cns
	multipolar
	short dendrites short axons
	make up the spinal cord
Motor neuron	short dendrites and long axons
	from cns to pns
	multipolar so send and receive messages
