Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -axon, also called nerve fibre, portion of a nerve cell (neuron) that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body. A neuron typically has one axon that connects it with other neurons or with muscle or gland cells. Some axons may be quite long, reaching, for example, from the spinal cord down to a toe.
Detailed explanation-2: -An action potential, also called a nerve impulse, is an electrical charge that travels along the membrane of a neuron.
Detailed explanation-3: -Axon – The long, thin structure in which action potentials are generated; the transmitting part of the neuron. After initiation, action potentials travel down axons to cause release of neurotransmitter.
