myelin sheaths
|
|
|
dendrites
|
|
|
nodes of Ranvier

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The place where an axon terminal meets another cell is called a synapse. This is where the transmission of a nerve impulse to another cell occurs. The cell that sends the nerve impulse is called the presynaptic cell, and the cell that receives the nerve impulse is called the postsynaptic cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites: Dendrites are short, finger-like projections present at the end of neurons. They receive input in the form of electrical impulses and transfer the received information to the soma of the neuron. The cytoplasm of dendrites contains Nissl bodies, mitochondria, and other cellular organelles.
