Question

neurons are nerve cells that provide communication throughout the body. read the statements below and label the neuron using clues from the statements. - the cell - body is in charge of the neuron. it fuels the neurons activities and contains the nucleus, but not the axons or dendrites. - nucleus is located in the cell body and contains genetic material in the form of chromosomes. - axon carries the messages away from the cell body. - myelin sheath covers the axon to protect it and help messages travel faster and easier. - dendrites receive messages from other neurons and conducts them to the cell body. - the synapse is the junction between the axon terminals of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron. - axon terminals fibers at the end of the axon that transmits neurotransmitters to the dendrites of another neuron.

Explanation:

1. Dendrites receive messages, so 1 is Dendrites.
2. Axon carries messages away from cell - body, so 2 is Axon.
3. Cell - body is in charge and contains nucleus, so 3 is Cell Body.
4. Myelin Sheath covers axon, so 4 is Myelin Sheath.
5. Axon Terminals transmit neurotransmitters, so 5 is Axon Terminals.
6. Synapse is the junction, so 6 is Synapse.

Answer:

1. Dendrites
2. Axon
3. Cell Body
4. Myelin Sheath
5. Axon Terminals
6. Synapse
