Neuronal Anatomy

2. ___ buttons release neurotransmitters.
5. Neurotransmitters flow through the synaptic ___ and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron.
7. Motor neurons have long axons, extend long distances, and are responsible for muscle ___.
8. The ___ zone involves the axon terminals and are responsible for sending out the signal.
9. Synaptic ___ are spheres in the axon that are filled with neurotransmitters.
12. Dendritic __ project outwards from dendrites.
13. ___ transport transfers materials towards the terminals.
15. ___ are a type of glial cell that myelin the central nervous system.
18. ___ neurons have a single dendrite and axon. These neurons aid in sensory tasks.
19. ___ cells provide neurons with nutrients and are more abundant than neurons.

1. ___ are a type of glial cell that are involved in the blood brain barrier.
3. The main goal of ___ is to communicate with other neurons. They have shorter axons but are most abundant.
4. ___ cells myelinate the peripheral nervous system.
6. ___ neurons have 1 extension from the cell body that split into 2.
7. Axon ___ are branches that stem from the axon.
10. ___ neurons have one axon and many dendrites. They are the most common type of neuron.
11. The function of the axon ___ is to gather and integrate information.
14. ___ transport moves materials back to cell body.
16. Nodes of ___ are exposed gaps on the axon that allow the signal to pass through the axon.
17. ___ cells help clean up areas.
