Answer 1

Here are the matched terms and their descriptions:

1. Dendrite - Short, highly branched fibers that carry signals toward the cell body
2. Afferent neuron - A type of neuron that sends information from the sensory receptors toward the central nervous system
3. Node of Ranvier - Gaps in the myelin sheath
4. Synaptic cleft - The space between two cells
5. Interneuron - A type of neuron that sends information between sensory and motor neurons
6. Axon - Long fibers that carry signals away from the cell body
7. Efferent neuron - A type of neuron that sends information away from the central nervous system to muscles or glands
8. Action potential - The reversal of the electrical potential in the plasma membrane of a neuron
9. Myelin sheath - The fatty material surrounding some axons
10. Neurotransmitter - A type of chemical released from the tip of an axon into the synaptic cleft when a nerve impulse arrives
