There are many different parts
for the Nervous System but the most important are the nerves. The
nerves are bundles of interconnecting strings that connect to every
part of your body to make you react and feel. Neurons
, or nerve cells, make up a nerve with different parts that
respond to stimuli. The main control center for the neuron is the
cell body. It contains mitochondria, nissl
bodies, and the nucleus. The dendrites are the
parts that extend from the cell body. They are
branch like extentions that come from the word "branchise" which means
tree. The other part of the neuron the extends from the cell body
is the axon. The axon is the main travel path for the neuro
message. Since neurons make up a nerve, the axon is the main
travel path for the nerve too. The part that pertects the
axon from invaders is the mytec sheath. It also slows down
the message so it can go fast enough to go over the synapse. The
synapse is the part of the neuron that lets the message go from ne
neuron to another. And that process continues over and over again
until the message reaches its destination.
