Cell Body: is also known as soma has the ribosomes, nucleus, and mitochondria within it. The cell body has synapses on the surface.
Dendrites: Are fibers that are narrow at the ends. The dendrites have synaptic receptors that receive information from other neurons.
Axon: An axon is a thin fiber and is usually longer than a dendrite. This is the conducting fiber, and where the information from the dendrites is formed. The myelin sheath is also located on the axons.
Nodes of Ranvierdo not have myelin sheath.
Finally, there is the presynaptic terminal. This is where the axon releases the chemicals from one neuron to the next
