The Candy NeuronYou will be creating a neuron made completely of candy. It is important that the each type of candy represents one part of the neuron. Follow the instructions below to ensure you create a neuron that is assembled correctly.
Task: 1. Create TWO candy neurons. Each of the neurons should include all of the parts listed below. a. Cell body b. Dendrites c. Myelin sheath d. Axon e. Terminal Branches 2. Label and define each of the terms listed above. They should be clearly labeled and defined on your paper. 3. Create a scenario that involves both a sensory and motor neuron. The scenario can be a sentence or two. You should include the direction of the neuron on your poster. Example: When you finger touches a flame a sensory neuron is being sent to your brain. Your brain then sends a motor neuron to your muscle telling it to pull away from the flame. You would then draw arrows in the appropriate directions of the neurons. |
