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