Axons are the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they form nerves in the peripheral nervous system, or nerve tracts in the central nervous system (CNS). Some axons can extend up to one meter or more while others extend as little as one millimeter.

2024年2月14日 · Axons are thin fibers that enable communications between neurons (nerve cells). The function of axons is to transmit information in the form of electrical impulses between neurons. From the broadest perspective, axons act like transmission cables.

2025年3月12日 · axon, portion of a nerve cell (neuron) that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body. A neuron typically has one axon that connects it with other neurons or with muscle or gland cells. Some axons may be quite long, reaching, for example, from the spinal cord down to …

2023年7月21日 · Axons are elongated, thread-like projections of nerve cells (neurons) responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the neuron’s cell body.

Each neuron in your brain has one long cable that snakes away from the main part of the cell. This cable, several times thinner than a human hair, is called an axon, and it is where electrical impulses from the neuron travel away to be received by other neurons.

2022年11月14日 · Axons are the elongated portion of the neuron located in the center of the cell between the soma and axon terminals. In size, the axon may represent over 95% of the total volume of the neuron.

2023年10月30日 · Axons are processes from the cell body (soma) or from the axon hillock (a specialized part of the cell body) of a neuron that conduct impulses away from cell body.
