NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is B Axon. A neuron consists of a cell body with a nucleus and cytoplasm, from which long thin hair-like parts arise. Usually each neuron has a single long part (process), called the axon, and many short, branched parts (processes) called dendrites.

Detailed explanation-2: -The single and the longest part of the neuron are called axons. Functions: Axon allows neurons to transmit chemical and electrical signals to other cells. A neuron has one axon that connects it with other neurons or with gland cells or muscle.

Detailed explanation-3: -An axon (from Greek áxōn, axis), or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences), is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
