Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the components of a nerve cell (neuron): dendrites, axon, synapse, and myelin sheath.
Understand the function of dendrites: they are branched extensions of the neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.
Recognize that the axon is responsible for transmitting signals away from the cell body to other neurons or effectors.
Clarify the role of the synapse: it is the junction between two neurons where signal transmission occurs, but it does not receive signals.
Note that the myelin sheath is an insulating layer around the axon that speeds up signal transmission, but it does not receive signals.
