Axon
Axon Terminals
Cell Body (Soma)
maintain homeostasis and provide support
end of axon, conducts signals to synapse by neurotransmitters
insulating layer of protein around axon, allows for better transmission
store neurotransmitters that are released at synapse
receive electric signals
nerve fiber sends transmission away from soma
contains nucleus, supports chemical processing
