- 5. part of the neurone that receives an electrical impulse
- 6. body part of the neurone where the nucleus is found
- 7. type of neutron found in the CNS
- 11. part of the neurone that delivers the electrical impulse (either to another neurone or an effector)
- 13. insulating material along the axon (long stem) of a neurone that increases the speed at which the electrical impulse can travel
- 14. gap between neurones
- 15. type of neurone that carries an impulse from the CNS to the effector

- 2. a type of response that does not use the conscious part of the brain
- 4. comprises the brain and spinal cord
