The axon carries the action potential from the neuronal cell body to the effector (muscle or gland).
Delivers the electrical messages to the CNS (Central Nervous System- basically the brain & the spine)
Hope that helps! ^_^
Nerve cell or neuron
An axon is the extension of a neuron and it sends nerve impulses away from the cell. In simpler words it is the "tail" of a nerve cell which sends messages to other cells.
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
It generates and transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body.
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
Nerve cell or neuron
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
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.
It can survive without an axon but not without its cell
the parts of the nerve cell are cell body,dendrites,and axon, axon teminals, nucleus,
A wave pattern travels down the length of the axon of a nerve cell. A nerve cell, also called a neuron, is a specialized cell that transmits nerve impulses.

An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
