It insulates the axon and speeds up impulse transmission.

Label this part of the motor neurone

Axon

It carries impulses from the CNS to effectors like muscles or glands.

Because neurotransmitters are only released from the axon terminal and bind to receptors on the next neurone.

What is the function of a motor neurone?

It carries impulses from the CNS to effectors like muscles or glands.

Which neurone carries impulses from receptors to the central nervous system?

Sensory neurone

Which part of the neurone receives the nerve impulse from other cells?

Dendrite

What could happen if impulses were allowed to travel both ways at the synapse?

It could cause confusion in signal direction and disrupt body responses.

Name the small gaps between the myelin sheath that help speed up impulses.
