Axon
The long trunk of a neuron is called an axon. The axon is responsible for conducting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
An Axon. I believe that is what you are asking for.
A signal travels down a neuron through a process called neurotransmission. When a signal reaches the end of one neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the small gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the next neuron, causing an electrical signal to be generated and travel down the length of the neuron. This process involves the opening and closing of ion channels, which allow ions to flow in and out of the neuron, creating an electrical impulse that travels along the neuron's axon.
The first motor neuron in an autonomic pathway is called a preganglionic neuron. It originates in the central nervous system and synapses with a postganglionic neuron in an autonomic ganglion.
The function of the neuron part that picks up signals from other neurons is to receive and integrate incoming signals, allowing the neuron to communicate with other neurons and process information. This part is called the dendrite.
This process is called nerve conduction.

Afferent Process is the process by which the dendrites carry impulses toward the cyton.

A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move

When impulses from various sources have an additive effect on a neuron, the process is called summation. This can occur through temporal summation, where multiple impulses from the same source rapidly fire in succession, or spatial summation, where impulses from different sources converge at the same time to reach the neuron's threshold for firing.
The location where a neuron transfers an impulse to another neuron or to a muscle cell is called a synapse. At the synapse, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron or muscle cell, facilitating the transmission of the signal. This process is crucial for communication within the nervous system and between nerves and muscles.
Neurons produce energy through a process called cellular respiration, where they use glucose and oxygen to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as energy currency. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the neuron and is essential for maintaining the neuron's functions, such as transmitting signals and maintaining its resting membrane potential.

In a process called reuptake, they are reabsorbed by sending the neuron and recycled.
