About this quiz
A neuron with a myelinated axon. Signals travel from left to right. The drawing is Ribbia's own, and it shows only parts that can be told apart by shape and position, so every answer is fair.
- Dendrites. The branches that receive signals from other neurons.
- Cell body. Holds the nucleus and most of the organelles. Also called the soma.
- Nucleus. The nucleus of the cell, inside the cell body.
- Axon. The single fibre that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body.
- Myelin sheath. The insulation wrapped around the axon in segments, like the plastic around a wire.
- Node of Ranvier. A gap in the myelin where the axon is bare.
- Axon terminals. The branches at the far end of the axon, reaching toward the target cell.
- Synaptic end bulbs. The swellings at the tips of the terminals, which make the connection at the synapse.
