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 axite is any of the terminal branches of an axon. (An axon is a usually long and single nerve-cell process that usually conducts impulses away from the cell body.
A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon. The sensory nerve cells receiving information from the skin are pseudounipolar cells having two axon. One axon extends centrally towards the spinal cord and the other axon extends towards the skin. The soma of these nerve cells having neurofilaments of specialized proteins receive sensory information through electric and chemical signals called neurotransmitters.A typical neuron possesses a cell body called soma, dendrites and axon.

The dendrite conducts electrical currents towards the cell body. The axon terminal on the other hand conducts impulses away from the cell body.
A neuron is a nerve cell, so it has all the parts of an animal cell, plus some specialized parts: axon, dendrites, and perhaps a myelin sheath for insulation.

The wave pattern likely represents the propagation of electrical signals, known as action potentials, along the axon. These action potentials are generated when the cell is stimulated and play a crucial role in transmitting information within the nervous system. The wave pattern traveling down the axon enables communication between different parts of the body and helps to coordinate various physiological functions.
The message travels through the axon and Schwann cells (which make up the axon) as an electrical message. When it reaches the dendrite, it is converted into a chemical message where it can be picked up by another neuron.
cell body, continues down the axon, and finally reaches the axon terminal. At the axon terminal, the impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters to communicate with other neurons or muscles.
Okay, information is received through the dendrites, and then moves on the the cell body. From there, the cell's axon passes the message on to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
Correct. The action potential is initiated at a specific point on the cell membrane called the axon hillock, and it then travels down the axon in one direction. Once initiated, it spreads along the entire length of the axon and can be transmitted to other neurons or muscle cells.
Via chemical messangers that cross the synapse.
Cell nucleus and free ribosomes are structures that are not found in the axon. The axon is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that lacks these organelles to allow for efficient transmission of electrical signals along its length.
Unlike oligodendrocytes Schwann cells can only myelinate one axon. But the number of Schwann cells it takes to myelinate an axon depends on the axon length as a Schwann cell only myelinates one area between pairs of Nodes of Ranvier. Think of it like a string of sausage. the sting is the axon, each sausage is where a single Schwann cell myelinates that axon, as stated the length will determine the total number of Schwann cells needed for myelination, but a Schwann cell can only myelinate one axon.
Typically, the electrical signal that travels from the dendrites across the cell body travels by cable conduction properties (like cable TV). Once the signal reaches the axon hillock, which is the spot where the axon branches off the cell body, the electrical signal starts traveling by action potentials (and maybe some cable conduction). The signal travels to the terminal end of the axon where it initiates a calcium influx, which in turn initiates a release of neurotransmitter to act on the next, post-synaptic neuron. The axon is the long process (arm) that extends from the first cell body to the next neuron.
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron at a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, initiating a new electrical signal in the receiving cell.
axon. The axon is a long, slender projection that can extend from the cell body to different parts of the body to transmit electrical signals. This allows communication between neurons located far apart.
