aksoniin
Aksoniin (Finnish for axon) is the elongated projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body toward synapses. The axon typically originates at the axon hillock, a specialized region near the soma, and ends at synaptic terminals where signals are transmitted to other neurons or effector cells. Axons transmit signals through action potentials, all-or-nothing electrical impulses that propagate along the axon membrane.
Internally, the axon contains cytoskeletal elements such as microtubules that support transport and structure. A key
Axonal transport moves cellular components between the soma and the terminals. Anterograde transport, directed away from
Axon structure and function vary among neurons; some have long, unbranched axons, while others branch extensively
