Neuron Structure A typical neuron has a cell body, axon and dendrites. Many – have a myelin sheath that acts as an electrical insulator. The structure of the neuron allows for the detection, generation, – transmission and integration of signal information. Schwann cells, which form the myelin sheath, are separated by – gaps of unsheathed axon over which the impulse travels as the signal propagates along the neuron. Some neurons will send their signal to an effector cell or tissue, such as the muscle tissue here. The nervous signal may cause the muscle to contract or relax. This is how your muscles help you to move and respond to stimuli.
