Cell Body   Thickest part of the cell and contains the nucules  
🗑
Axon   Tail like structure that carries nerve flow away from the cell body  
🗑
Myelin   Covers and protects the Axon and speeds up nerve flow down the axon. Made of Glial cells (fat cells)  
🗑
Synapse   Microscopic gap between cells where Neurotransmitters cross over  
🗑
Receptors   Recieving port on the next cell that recieves the Neurotransmitters  
🗑
Neurotransmitters   Chemical messangers of the brain. ( 50 identified )

Cells At Rest   Resting Potential  
🗑

Lock And Key   Nuerotransmitters blow out a gell to cross the synapse gap to the receptor cell. The neurotransmitter must fit the receptor site.  
🗑
Enzymes   Clean the Synapse gap  
🗑
Hind Brain   The Brain Stem. Oldest part of the brain. Medulla,Pons,Cerebellum  
🗑
Nervous System (left)   Central Nervous system = Has central role in life.or midline axis of the body. Includes Brain and Spinal Cord.
