Synaptic cleft - The small gap between two neurons where neurotransmitters are released and received.
Dendrite - The branch-like structures on a neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons.
Afferent neuron - A sensory neuron that carries signals from sensory organs to the central nervous system.
Efferent neuron - A motor neuron that carries signals from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands.
Node of Ranvier - The small gaps in the myelin sheath where the axon is exposed.
Action potential - A brief electrical impulse that travels along the axon of a neuron.
Neurotransmitter - A chemical substance that transmits signals between neurons.
Axon - The long, slender projection of a neuron that transmits signals away from the cell body.
Interneuron - A neuron that connects sensory and motor neurons, or that processes information within the central nervous system.
Myelin sheath - The fatty covering that surrounds and insulates the axon, allowing for faster signal transmission.
