axons, plural;
  1. The long threadlike part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell body to other cells

  1. long nerve fiber that conducts away from the cell body of the neuron
  2. (axonal) of or relating to or resembling an axon
  3. (Axonal) This is one of the anesthetics available on the Prometheus. (Message in a Bottle)
  4. (Axons) are long nerve processes which carry nerve impulses from the Soma to other neurons, they vary in length but can become almost as long as half of the human body.
  5. (Axons) The long projections from nerves which transmit electrical impulses to the nerve terminals. Axons are covered in an insulating material (myelin) which is composed of fatty substances and looks white to the naked eye (hence the term white matter).
  6. The cable-like structure neurons used to send messages to other neurons. It carries the neuron's electrical message.
  7. the long, hair-like extension of a nerve cell that carries a message to the next nerve cell.
  8. the part of the neuron that allows it to send messages to other nerve cells; although each neuron can have only one axon, the axon itself can have many branches which connects it to many others
  9. The inner core of peripheral nerves.
  10. The fiber-like extension of a neuron by which the cell carries information from the cell body to the axon terminal.
  11. nerve fibers that carry electrical impulses through the brain and spinal cord; they are surrounded by a protective sheath called myelin; in multiple sclerosis the axon can be damaged, causing symptoms such as numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and poor coordination
  12. The straight, relatively unbranched process of a nerve cell or the efferent process of a nerve cell, syn. Nerve fiber.
  13. Is a part of the neuron (nerve cell) that resembles a cable. Nerve impulses travel along the axon and its main function is part of the process of communication between neurons.
  14. The cell extension of a neuron (nerve cell) that carries an electrical signal to synapses which are secreting chemical signaling molecules called neurotransmitters to stimulate/inhibit receiving cells. ...
  15. the part of a nerve cell (neuron) that transmits electrical signals to another cell, such as muscle or sensory cells. Depending on the location of the neuron, the length of the axon can vary widely and can be several feet in length.
  16. a usually long and single nerve-cell process (for instance, located in the optic nerve of the eye) that conducts impulses away from the cell body (for instance, located in the retina)
  17. the relatively elongated portion of a neuron between the cell body and the terminals which provides the signal pathway for a nerve impulse.
  18. The axon is a finer, cable-like projection that can extend tens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of times the diameter of the soma in length. The longest axon of a human motor neuron can be over a meter long, reaching from the base of the spine to the toes. ...
  19. Part of the neuron which sends signals to nearby neurons.
  20. An extension of a neuron cell body that transports information away from the cell body, usually by an electrical impulse.
  21. the neuronal process that sends the signal or message away from the cell body toward target cells or neurons (Connect the Neurons, Close-up of the Nervous System, Bead Neuron)
  22. a long fiber projecting from a neuron and carrying an output signal.
  23. a long process of neurons that conducts neural impulses to muscles, tissues and organs.
  24. the long structure of a nerve cell that acts as a pathway for nerve impulses.
  25. Process extending from neuron cell body; conducts action potentials away from cell body. Often covered by myelin sheath with gaps, called Nodes of Ranvier, that allow for faster conduction of the action potential through saltation. ...
