The axon does not receieve messages from other neurons. The job of the axon is to carry messages away to other neurons in the brain. Some axons can be as long as 1 meter long.
Axons from ganglion cells make up the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. These ganglion cells receive input from photoreceptors through bipolar and amacrine cells, processing visual signals before sending them as electrical impulses along their axons. The optic nerve ultimately conveys these signals to the visual cortex, where they are interpreted as images.
Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.
nervous tissue.
Animal cells specialized for conducting electrochemical impulses are known as neurons. Neurons have unique structures such as dendrites, axons, and synapses that allow for the transmission of electrical signals within the nervous system.
The long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and transmit electrical signals to other neurons or muscle cells.
Nerve cells carry the impulses around the body to the motor neurons. Nerve impulses are received and transmitted to the cell body by axons.
Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.
Axons are long projections of nerve cells that make up nerves. Nerves are bundles of axons transmitting information between the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body. Axons are responsible for carrying electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another, allowing for the communication necessary for proper functioning of the nervous system.
A long nerve fiber that conveys electrical impulses to other cells is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and are responsible for transmitting signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Some axons can be quite long, extending from the brain or spinal cord to distant parts of the body.
Nerve cells, or neurons, are specialized to receive and transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. They have structures called dendrites that receive signals from other neurons, and an axon that transmits signals to other cells. Neurons have a membrane potential that allows them to generate and transmit electrical impulses known as action potentials.
Dendrite is the branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell.

Neurons send electric impulses to your cells via the dendrites. The Axons carry the electrical impulses away from the cell. This process sends out signals to your brain for all of your body processes such as muscle movement.
Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system are responsible for electrically insulating axons by forming myelin sheaths around them. This insulation increases the speed of conduction of nerve impulses along the axons.
The long thin process that carries impulses away from the cell body is called an axon. Axons are part of nerve cells (neurons) and transmit electrical signals to other neurons or muscle cells.
Some nerve cells have fibers that grow out of the cell, which are called axons. Axons allow a nerve cell to connect to distant parts of the body, so that cells in the brain can send messages to, and receive messages from a toe, for example, which might be six feet away from the brain. Other nerve cells just connect to their immediate neighboring nerve cells, and therefore do not require axons; they instead have smaller extensions called dendrites.
