Matching Pairs Component of the nerve cellOnline version Biology, Year 9 Science , Neuron by Rupa Oberoi 1 Dendrites 2 Synapse 3 Myelin Sheath 4 Nodes of Ranvier 5 Axon 6 Cell Body Region which transmits information from one neuron to another highly sensitive, thin branches receive information and form contacts with the axons of other neurons Control center of cell which maintain cell function. Carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body axons are covered by this fatty layer which helps to speed up a nerve impulse along an axon by controlling its path. are gaps in the myelin sheath coating on the neural axon.
