Match each part of the neuron to its function. Write the letter next to the appropriate function. (Drag & drop or click the term & where you want to move it)

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Dendrite		extension of a neuron through which neural impulses are sent
Axon		stores neurotransmitters
Meylin Sheath		receives information and conducts impulses toward the cell body
