Do axon contain a nucleus?
No, the axon is a fiber that emerges from a neuron, while the nucleus is in the center of the neuron.
What structure insulates neurons?
Myelin Sheath is the structure that insulates most part of neuron
The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
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
What is the junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron?
Synapse
What part of the neuron performs cleanup tasks and insulates one neuron from another?
Axon

What is an axon-terminal?
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.

The branching fibers of the axon end in axon terminals and link with parts of other neurons?
The axon terminals of one neuron links with dendrites of the neighboring neuron.
What is the highest number of axons a neuron can have?
A neuron can have at most one axon. However, an axon can branch - sometimes many times.
The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
Which part of a neuron is attached to the soma and carries messages out to other cells?
Apex question is which is a part of a neuron that sends out messages answer axon
What is the importance of a neuron?
A neuron sends messages from your brain to your body
