What is a neuron identify the parts of the neuron and their functions?
there's the axon (the nerve) the electrical impulse goes down that and covering the axon is the myelin sheath, otherwise known as a fatty sheath which insulates and helps make the electrical impulse go faster. In between each myelin sheath there are synapses (gaps between each one) and the impulse has to cross the gap so neurotransmitters are released which bind to receptors on the other side creating another electrical impulse which makes it travel even faster.
