- of or relating to or resembling an axon
- (axon) long nerve fiber that conducts away from the cell body of the neuron
- (axon) A long fiber of a nerve cell (a neuron) that acts somewhat like a fiber-optic cable carrying outgoing messages. The portion of a neuron that transmits energy from the cell body to the receptors of other neurons.
- (Axon) The efferent portion of a neuron.
- (Axon) 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. ...
- (Axon) The extension from a neuron that transmits outgoing signals to other neurons.
- (axon) 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)
- (Axon) the long, hair-like extension of a nerve cell that carries a message to the next nerve cell.
- (Axon) the portion of the neuron wherein an action potential transmits a signal from the cell body to the terminus
- (axon) the relatively long fiber of the neuron that conducts neural impulses to glands, muscles, or other neurons. 69
- (Axon) The fiber-like extension of a neuron by which the cell carries information from the cell body to the axon terminal.
- (Axon) A single, slender process arising from each nerve cell (neuron). It conducts information from the nerve cell to targets such as muscles, glands or other neurons.
- (axon) 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
- The axon is the core nerve fiber extending from a cell body which is protected by the myelin sheath. It carries signals from a cell to another nerve cell or to a muscle.
- (Axon) Another name for nerve fibers.
- (Axon) Bapt. 'the son of -' (?). This Lancashire and Cheshire surname has clearly no connexion with Axton (q.v.). It is a patronymic formed like Jaxon, Dixon, Dix, or Cox, which represent Jackson, Dickson, Dicks, or Cocks. ...
- (Axon) 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.
- (Axon) The cable-like structure neurons used to send messages to other neurons. It carries the neuron's electrical message.
- (Axon) 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. ...
- (Axon) The extension or prolongation of a nerve cell (neuron) that conducts impulses to other nerve cells or muscles. Axons are generally smaller than 1 micron (1 micron = 1/1,000,000 of a meter) in diameter, but can be as much as a half meter in length.
- (Axon) The part of the nerve cell (neuron) that communicates with other cells, similar to a telephone wire; the axon is often covered with myelin, an insulating fatty layer, which functions similarly to plastic around a copper wire.
- (Axon) This is the main outgrowth of a neurone and is dependent on the cell body.
- (Axon) highly specialized relatively long extension (process) of a neuron used for conduction of electrical messages (i.e. action potentials). Axons are considerably more specialized and therefore easier to understand than other excitable tissues. ...
- (Axon) is an output branch of a neuron, connected pre and postsynaptic cellsby means of synaptic connections.
- (Axon) 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
