  5. Nervous System Review Dendrite Carries impulse along nerve cell “tail” Contains genetic material for neuron Cell Body Allows signal to transmit quickly down axon/protective covering Nucleus First part of neuron to receive impulse Myelin Sheath Houses the nucleus Carries messages to the brain Axon Carries messages inside the brain Axon Terminal Carries messages to the body Space between neurons and another neuron or muscle or organ; Synapse Ends of the Axons
