Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The long, fiber-like part of a neuron by which the cell sends information to receiving neurons. It can be a micron or a meter in length depending on where it is located.
A
axon terminal
B
axon
C
dendrite
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Axon. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each neuron in your brain has one long cable that snakes away from the main part of the cell. This cable, several times thinner than a human hair, is called an axon, and it is where electrical impulses from the neuron travel away to be received by other neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dendrite is a treelike extension that receives information from other neurons and transmits electrical stimulation to the soma. The axon is an elongated fibre that transfers information from the soma to the terminal buttons.

Detailed explanation-5: -The long fibre arising from the cell body of the neuron is called an axon.
