AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The axon carries the message from the cell body of the one neuron to another. It is covered by a sheath called myelin sheath.

Detailed explanation-2: -The axon is the elongated fiber that extends from the cell body to the terminal endings and transmits the neural signal. The larger the diameter of the axon, the faster it transmits information. Some axons are covered with a fatty substance called myelin that acts as an insulator.

Detailed explanation-3: -Axon. The axon, also called a nerve fiber, is a tail-like structure of the neuron which joins the cell body at a junction called the axon hillock. The function of the axon is to carry signals away from the cell body to the terminal buttons, in order to transmit electrical signals to other neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurons have three basic parts: a cell body and two extensions called an axon (5) and a dendrite (3). Within the cell body is a nucleus (2), which controls the cell’s activities and contains the cell’s genetic material. The axon looks like a long tail and transmits messages from the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Axon-this long projection carries information from the soma and sends it off to other cells. This is the “output” part of the cell. It normally ends with a number of synapses connecting to the dendrites of other neurons.
