2.produce an appropriate output signal
3.send signal to terminal ending
4.transmit signal to other nerve cells, glands, muscles
cell body
1.recieves and sends nerve impulses
2.contains nucleus
3.makes proteins
4.uses energy for maintenance and growth
nucleus
contains all information needed to maintain the cell
dendrites
1.recieves signals
2.sends electrical signal to cell body
3.respond to specific stimuli (sound, pressure,temp)
4.dendrites of brain respond to neurotransmitters
