muscles or glands that respond when they receive impulses from motor neurons

-
an electrical signal that
passes along nerve cells (neurones

cell body -
the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus
·
dendrites -
branching fibres that
brings imprises towards the cell body
·
Schwann's cells -
secretes lipids that make up the myelin sheath
·
myelin sheath -
an
insulating layer that allow electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently
·
saltatory conduction -
propagation of ac tion potentials along myelinated axons from one node of
Ranvier to the next ,
increasing the conduction velocity of action potentials
·
nerve endings
-
fibre that transmitts impulses from the motor neuron to effector cells
that release neurotransmitters to another neuron
·
axon terminals -
part of the nerve
endings that are enlarged
, sensory receptors dendrites of neurons specialized for receiving specific stimul
