the parts of a neuron are the following

1. dendrites - these are the small processes attached to the soma that receives the information and bring this to the cell body

2. soma or the cell body - contains the nucleus

3. axon - the long process that brings the information away from the cell body

4. myelin sheath - it covers the axon

5. nodes of ranvier - the unmyelinated part of an axon

6. axon terminal - found at the end of the axon
