Relier Pairs Component of the nerve cellVersion en ligne Biology, Year 9 Science , Neuron par Rupa Oberoi 1 Myelin Sheath 2 Nodes of Ranvier 3 Cell Body 4 Synapse 5 Dendrites 6 Axon are gaps in the myelin sheath coating on the neural axon. Control center of cell which maintain cell function. axons are covered by this fatty layer which helps to speed up a nerve impulse along an axon by controlling its path. Region which transmits information from one neuron to another highly sensitive, thin branches receive information and form contacts with the axons of other neurons Carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body
