Because the long axons of neurons look like electrical wires, and both neurons and electrical wires conduct electricity, it is tempting to equate the two. Compare and contrast the functioning of axons and electrical wires in terms of their structure and the nature of the electrical signals they conduct. Please include references.
Define each of the following and explain its importance to neuronal function: dendrites, soma, axon, and presynaptic terminal?
Discuss the concept of myelination and the purpose of the myelin sheath
