Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that carry information towards the neurosoma in the form of electrical signals along the axon of a neuron. These signals travel through the axon and reach the neurosoma where they are processed to generate a response.
The axon is the part of the neuron that can propagate an action potential. This process relies on the opening and closing of ion channels along the axon membrane to allow the action potential to travel from the cell body to the axon terminals.
Impulses are conducted along a neuron in one direction, from the dendrites to the cell body, then through the axon and to the axon terminals. This pathway ensures that signals are transmitted efficiently and effectively from one neuron to another or to an effector cell.
The axon of a neuron is responsible for conducting an action potential. This is made possible by the presence of voltage-gated ion channels along the axon membrane that allow for the propagation of electrical signals.

The axon is the part of the neuron that can carry information for long distances.
A signal moves through a neuron by traveling along the axon, which is a long, thin extension of the neuron. The signal is transmitted as an electrical impulse called an action potential. When the signal reaches the end of the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters, which then carry the signal to the next neuron.

The axon of a neuron is responsible for conducting an action potential. This is made possible by the presence of voltage-gated ion channels along the axon membrane that allow for the propagation of electrical signals.
When a neuron is sufficiently stimulated, voltage-gated ion channels open along the axon membrane, allowing positively charged ions, such as sodium, to flow into the cell. This creates an electrical impulse called an action potential that propagates along the axon. The movement of ions is essential for transmitting the signal along the neuron.
Messages from the neuron always travel from the cell body down the axon.
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Axons carry impulses away from the cell body of a neuron. They are long, slender projections that transmit electrical impulses to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
