other to relay and receive information. A neuron consists of a cell body‚ multiple dendrites‚ and an axon. The cell body serves as the command center for the neuron‚ it contains DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and produces the energy used by the cell. The dendrites are the receptors of the neuron‚ and receive signals sent from other neurons. The axon‚ a long spine like process‚ consists of multiple axon terminals; the site of connection to other neurons. During

reaction to a stimulus. 3. Student answers will vary. Sample answer: Two factors that influence the speed with which an impulse is conducted are the diameter of the axon and whether or not it is myelinated. In the absence of myelination‚ increasing the diameter of the axon will increase the speed of impulse conduction. The large axons in the organisms are responsible for the escape or withdrawl reflexes. tion‚ judgment‚ and speech become impaired. 3. Alcohol is absorbed into the blood through the

Differences within the cell include its dendrites and axons. Dendrites are branch-like things that extend from the cell body and receive messages from other neurons (Boeree). The axon then transmits these signals to other neurons. Both are one of the three most important organelles in the neurons‚ including the nucleus. The three work efficiently not unlike a machine where the nucleus controls the whole cell while the dendrites receive messages and the axon sends them to the brain. Neurons
