Creating our Neurons

After the visit from the nueroscientists, we unpacked the job of the neuron. We were able to identify the different parts of the neuron. 

Carla is creating her neuron by adding dendrites to her nucleus (round part)
The dendrites job is to receive messages.

Rowyn, Maui and MacKenzie are adding the axon (long thin body part) to their neuron.
The axon's job is to send the message down the neuron to the axon terminal,
which then passes the message to the next neuron.

Carla has completed her neuron.
All students created a mini information report which you can view on our back wall.
Spin it around and it will describe each of part of the neuron and their particular job!



Oscar presented a very clear illustration of how each part of the
neuron worked.

Great effort!
