the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
The axon is the longest part of the neuron, and its main purpose of the axon is to carry the signal from the cell body of one axon to the dendrite of another axon, or directly to the target organ.
Generate nerve impulses & transmit them typically away from cell body
The axons do carry information from the nerve cells to the other cells in the human body.
It carries messages from other neurons to a cell body.
the function of the neuron's axon is to carry messages to other cells
to send electrical impulses away from the cell body, onto the next neuron.
an axon carries impulses away from the cell body
axons either send or receive impulses
Acethylcholine
an axon terminal
It receives impulses from other neurons, and then sends those nerve impulses to the body of the cell, where they are added together at the axon hillock, and if they provide a sufficient strength (voltage, potential), an action potential will fire in the output of the neuron, the axon.
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 *
The axon carries information from one neuron to another while the dendrites of a neuron receive information from other neurons
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.
Acethylcholine
On the axon hillock, there is a concentration of sodium channels whose role are to initiate the depolarization and signal transmission allong the axon. Once the all or none threshold is reached, depolarization occurs in a cascade unidirectional along the length of the axon, with potassium channels open just following the sodium-channel mediated depolarization, such that there is no back-propagation of the signal.

what is the axon made of
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.
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
It receives impulses from other neurons, and then sends those nerve impulses to the body of the cell, where they are added together at the axon hillock, and if they provide a sufficient strength (voltage, potential), an action potential will fire in the output of the neuron, the axon.
