Axon

Axon logo #20169the extension of a nerve cell, as a thin tube which may be as long a metre or a few short microns in length. The axon, like the cell body is able to depolarise and carry impulses along its length. The impulses from one axon to another nerve cell are transmitted at a synapse. Axons may be myelinated or unmeyelinated, and they may vary in diameter. T...

axon logo #20973<cell biology> A long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. ... Each nerve cell has one axon, which can be over a foot long. A nerve cell communicates with another nerve cell by transmitting signals from the branches at the end of its axon. At the terminal end of the a...

axon

axon logo #21001(ak´son) the process of a nerve cell along which impulses travel away from the cell body. It branches at its termination, forming synapses at other nerve cells or effector organs. Many axons are covered by a myelin sheath formed from the cell membrane of a glial cell. adj., ax´onal., adj.

Axon

Axon logo #20909Axon: A long fiber of a nerve cell (a neuron) that acts somewhat like a fiber-optic cable carrying outgoing (efferent) messages. The neuron sends electrical impulses from its cell body through the axon to target cells. Each nerve cell has one axon. An axon can be over 20 cm (a foot) in length, which for the human body is remarkably long.

Axon

Axon logo #21217The axons are the long processes of the neuron which carry nerve impulses from the body of the neuron to the synapse. A collection of axons all lying alongside each other in the peripheral nervous system is termed a nerve. The axons are distinguished from the dendrites, which carry nerve impulses toward the body of the neuron. The axon terminals al...
