Axon

• They are the nerve fibre
• They are the nerve fibre
• They are a tail- like structure joining the cell body at a junction called the axon hillock
• They are a tail- like structure joining the cell body at a junction called the axon hillock
• They carry signals away from the cell body down the length of the neuron
• Axons carry signals to other neurons, muscles or glands
• They are covered in a fatty substance called the myelin sheath which insulates the axon and aids in transmitting signals faster
• Axoplasm I’d the cytoplasm within the axon: it transports proteins, organelles, and other cellular components from the neurons cell body to axon terminals
