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