Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Within a cell, action potentials are triggered at the cell body, travel down the axon, and end at the axon terminal. The axon terminal has vesicles filled with neurotransmitters ready to be released. The space between the axon terminal of one cell and the dendrites of the next is called the synapse.
