In certain sensory neurons (pseudounipolar neurons), such as those for touch and warmth, the axons are called afferent nerve fibers and the electrical impulse travels along these from the periphery to the cell body and from the cell body to the spinal cord along another branch of …

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.

2023年7月21日 · An axon is a thin, long fiber of a nerve cell (or neuron). It transmits electrical impulses from the cell body (or soma) to the target cells, such as other glands, neurons, and muscles. It is a vital component of the nervous system, responsible for the transmission of signals, known as action potentials, across considerable distances.

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.

2025年1月24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 …

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.

2024年1月16日 · The axon, also called a nerve fiber, is a tail-like structure of the neuron that joins the cell body at a junction called the axon hillock. The function of the axon is to carry signals away from the cell body to the terminal buttons to transmit electrical signals to other neurons.

2023年12月21日 · The axon of a neuron is also known as a nerve fiber. The membrane of an axon is known as the axolemma, while the cytoplasm is also referred to as axoplasm. Bundles of axons in the CNS form a tract, while in the PNS, they are referred to as fascicles (which, when bound together with connective tissue, form nerves). Axons originate from the axon ...

2024年9月23日 · An axon is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell (neuron) that transmits electrical impulses, known as action potentials, away from the neuron’s cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands, facilitating communication within the nervous system.

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.
