Look around your house for materials. Use whatever you can find to create your own neuron. Your neuron needs to include a cell body, dendrites, myelin sheath, axon terminals, an axon, and a nucleus. Take a picture of your neuron and upload it. Comment on your upload with the labels for your neuron (i.e. the m&m is the nucleus). Also explain what parts of the neuron on inputs and what parts are outputs. In other words, what part of the neuron receives information (inputs) and what part(s) of the neuron send information (output).

You will receive full credit if your neuron contains all the components with labels clearly stated and you have identified inputs and outputs of your neuron.
