Across
- 3. fibrous roots that process and receive signals

- 7. size of motor neurons (in micrometers)
- 8. long tail-like structure insulated with a fatty substance called myelin that helps axons to conduct an electrical signal
- 9. where the signals from the dendrites are joined and passed on
Down
- 1. cell located in the brain, and spinal cord that allows us to facilitate movement
- 2. contains all the genetic information and energy to drive the neuron’s activities.
- 4. a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next.
