Turn and talk with someone next to you!
Draw and label the following:
Cell Body (soma)
Axon
Dendrites
Why did the
neurotransmitter cross
the road (synapse)?
To get to the
other dendrite!
But… if neurons never touch,
how does the action potential
(or nerve impulse) get between
the small space between the
end of one nerve cell and the
beginning of the next nerve
cell?
