Nervous System Worksheet Answers: Dendrites Muscle Fibres, If You Like

This document provides information about the nervous system including: 1. It describes the basic parts of a nerve cell including the axon, myelin sheath, cell body, and dendrites. 2. It lists the three types of neurons - motor, sensory, and relay - and their functions in transmitting signals from senses to the brain/spinal cord and from brain/spinal cord to muscles. 3. It matches neurological terms like synapse, axon, and myelin sheath to their definitions.
