Identify the indicated parts of the neuron. Is this a sensory neuron, motor neuron, or an interneuron? Use the word list provided to assist you.
 * **axon** - the long extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from the body of the cell.
 * axon terminals**- the hair-like ends of the axon
 * cell body**- the cell body of the neuron; it contains the nucleus (also called the soma)
 * dendrites** - the branching structure of a neuron that receives messages (attached to the cell body) || **myelin sheath** - the fatty substance that surrounds and protects some nerve fibers
 * node of Ranvier**- one of the many gaps in the myelin sheath - this is where the action potential occurs during saltatory conduction along the axon
 * nucleus**- the organelle in the cell body of the neuron that contains the genetic material of the cell
 * Schwann's cells** - cells that produce myelin - they are located within the myelin sheath. ||
