1. Chemical compound released by one neuron to aect the membrane potential of

another.
2. Insulating sheath around an axon consisting of multiple layers of glial cell membrane;
significantly increases conduction rate along the axon.

a. Action Potential

b. Axon

c. Cranial Nerves

d. Membrane Potential

5 Elongate extension of a neuron that conducts an action potential.

6. The potential dierence, in millivolts, measured across the cell membrane; a
dierence that results from the uneven distribution of positive and negative ions across
a cell membrane.
7. A conducted change in the membrane potential of excitable cells, initiated by a
change in the membrane permeability of sodium ions.
8. The twelve peripheral nerves originating from the brain.
