A neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called a(n)

The myelin sheath is formed by:

Nissl bodies are comparable to which organelle in other cells?

A neuron that has only one axon but several dendrites is classified as a:

Sensory neurons are usually:

A synaptic knob would be located on a(n)

When current leaps across an insulating myelin sheath from node to node, the type of impulse conduction is called:

A lack of this/these neurotransmitter(s) in the basal ganglia is/are associated with Parkinson disease

Dendrites conduct impulses

Interneurons reside

Schwann cells have a similar function in the peripheral nervous system as these cells have in the central nervous system
