of the cell body, dentrites, and axons conduct nerve impulses to the cell body are called dendrites. Axons conduct nerve impulses away from the cell body. Neurons are supported and assisted by glial elements and sheath cells. Examine the slide labeled motor neuron. Draw and label your observations. Be sure to identify the cell body, axon, dendrite and nucleus. Questions: 1. Why is cartilage a good tissue of choice for the respiratory structures of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi? 2. What is the difference between the type of contraction produced by smooth, striated, and cardiac muscle? 3. Why is the neuron built the way it is?

The neuron structure is made up of three distinct parts, which include a cell body, axon, and dendrites. These parts are critical in helping send and receive electrical and chemical signals.

Provide receptive surface on the neuron for input from the environment or from other cells: Dendrite Myelin Synaptic end bulb Nissl bodies Neurofilaments Endoneurium Axon Microtubules Endomysium Schwann cell. Conducts impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscle, or glands. Provide structural support to the cell and axon. An orderly arrangement of the cell's rough endoplasmic reticulum and free ribosomes. Swollen end of an axon terminal filled with vesicles with neurotransmitter. Cell of the peripheral nervous system that produces myelin to wrap axons. A protein and fat substance that is produced by the Schwann cell and wraps the axon. A layer of dense irregular connective tissue around individual axons. A layer of dense irregular connective tissue around individual myofibers. Assist with vesicular transport within the neuron.
