Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -An axon, or nerve fibre, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron’s cell body or soma. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles, they help make up nerves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Axons connect with other cells in the body including other neurons, muscle cells, and organs. These connections occur at junctions known as synapses. The synapses allow electrical and chemical messages to be transmitted from the neuron to the other cells in the body.
