An axon (or axone) is a nerve fibre which is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, which conducts nerve impulses away from the body of the cell to a synapse.

What region of the cell secretes neurotransmitters?
an axon terminal
What does not belong axon terminal synaptic knob bouton axon collateral?
axon collateral
The axon is made up of?
what is the axon made of
The axon is connected to the soma by the?
axon hillock
What is a axon hillock?
An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron. It is the last place where propagated membrane potentials are transmitted to the axon.
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
Is and axon bulb and an axon hillock the same thing?
axon hillock = where cell body meets the axon axon bulb = end of the axon...lies very close to the dendrites of another neuron so impulses can pass over the synapse. AP Biology student *
What synapses release acetylcholine?
sympathetic preganglionic axon parasympathetic preganglionic axon parasympathetic postganglionic axon
What part of a neuron attaches the cell body to the axon?
axon hillock
Why was the squid axon particularly appropriate for nerve research?
The squid axon is the largest axon known in the whole animal kingdom, the axon of the squid is also very much like humans and most mammal axon, thus making is an ideal axon to use during research
What carries impulses away from the cell body?
The axon carries information from one neuron to another while the dendrites of a neuron receive information from other neurons
Which region of the cell body from which the axon originates?
The axon (in motor neurons) begins just distal to a slightly enlarged cell body structure called the axon hillock.
