PsychSim 5: NEURAL MESSAGES Name: Per: Date: This activity explains the way that neurons communicate with each other. Neuron Parts Match the part of the neuron identified with its description: o ___ Axon A. Contains the nucleus, which controls the function of the entire cell o ___ Axon terminals B. Carry signals to other nerve cells o ___ Cell body (soma) C. Receive signals from other nerve cells o ___ Dendrites D. Contain small sacs called synaptic vesicles that play an important role in transmitting signals from one cell to the next A Tip Dendrites Axons ______________________ _________________________ A Closer Look What does it mean to say that an axon’s membrane is “selectively permeable?” Given what you know about synaptic transmission, how do you think a message jumps across the synaptic gap and is passed to the next neuron?
