Terminal Is adequately stimulated releases a chemical to carry the message to the next nearon in line
Impulse When the axon transmits information
Synapse Interactiong between the terminal and another neuron or muscle
Myelin Insulation covering found on axons, made of glial cells, significant to transmit signals rapidly
Neurotransmitters Chemical released by terminal.
Why are neurotransmitters needed? For contraction of the muscle to take place
Neuromuschular synapse Synapse between motor neurons and the muscles
Motor unit A given motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it intervates
