The axon (in motor neurons) begins just distal to a slightly enlarged cell body structure called the axon hillock.
The initial region of the axon arises from a cone-shaped area of the cell body called the axon hillock ("little hill").

An axon hillock is part of a neuron that acts as a bridge between the cell body and the axon. Electrical impulses from the dendrites and cell body are summed at this point, which is then sent down the axon.

Axons send information away from a cell body.
The cell body, called the SOMA, is the main part of the neuron. It is the main metabolic center or region of the neuron. The neuron has 3 parts: DENDRITES (inputs), SOMA (cell body), and AXON (output). The axon is the part which FIRES when sufficient inputs reach it at the axon hillock.
The spike initiation zone, also called axon hillock, is the point where the cell body of the neuron meets the axon and is the point where most action potentials are initiated.

The nerve cell hillock is the beginning of the axon immediately after the soma. This is where the action potential originates.
