    The building blocks of our body ’ s neural information system are neurons. Each neuron is composed of dendrites‚ a cell body‚ axon with myelin sheath‚ and vesicles with neurotransmitters. The neuron receives information from sense receptors or from chemical messages from neighboring neurons via its dendrites‚ which pass the information to the cell body. The cell body fires an impulse‚ called the action potential‚ down the axon. The impulse is protected and sped along its way by the myelin sheath
