INTRODUCTION

Hi! You may be asking "isn't this the same as the 'iluvpeoplelikeu' website?" And it is! We had forgotten the password when we were randomly logged out. Whoops! That's why we are making a new one...hehe! Hope you didn't feel an attachment to the previous one..because I did. Cried for hours.

But anyway! Enough about me, lets get to the SCIENCE!!

Most of you guys know what a brain is, right? Its the big boss of the human body, helping you think and keep your body working! But nobody really tells you how it works.. Which is why, I am gonna tell you about all of the things about the brain!

1.NEURONS:

Neurons are the tiny little branches inside the brain that send signals everywhere in the body! From the top of your head to the tip of your toes! They work hard to keep you functioning!

Here is an image of a little neuron friend in case you don't know what they are!

PARTS: Order up to down

  • Dendrites (branch thingies)

  • Nucleus (gem looking thingie)

  • Axon Hillock (the beginning of the long noodle)

  • Myelin sheath (yellow thingies)

  • Schwann cell (even yellower cicle thingy on yellow thingies)

  • Nodes of ranvier (gaps between yellow thingies)

  • Axon terminal (the end of the smaller branch thingies)

  • Synapses (the end of the neuron!)
