If you mean the part of a neuron, then an axon transmits the signal created by the nucleus to another neuron. Myelin, the coating around the axon, helps make this process faster.
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.
Blocking retrograde axoplasmic transport in an axon can disrupt the neuron's ability to receive signals from the axon terminal such as growth factors, nutrients, and organelles, leading to decreased cell function and potentially cell death. This could impair neuronal communication and synaptic function, affecting overall brain function.
Arevbranching fibers at the end of the axon that lead the nervous impulse from the axon to the synapse
No, a nerve fiber cannot survive without its cell body or axon. The cell body provides nutrients and support to the axon, while the axon is responsible for transmitting signals. Without either of these components, the nerve fiber would no longer function.
Its main function is to propagate the action potential (the 'impulse') along the length of the axon.
arteries description and function
the primary function is to send nerve signals to the various parts of the body

Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.

Hormones and neurotransmitters are "messengers" that influence cell function.

It is very difficult to answer this question. But this is the basic mechanism in case of diodes of the electronics also. It can be easily explained there. With out such unidirectional flow nervous system can not function at all.
it helps to speed up the process of transmitting messages between neurons.
