Neurons are the cells that make up the nervous system. A neuron has a cell body containing the nucleus, dendrites that receive signals, an axon that sends signals away from the cell body, and a myelin sheath that insulates the axon and is produced by Schwann cells. Nodes of Ranvier allow saltatory conduction along the axon in the direction of the nerve pathway.
