Nerve that affects the little finger side of the arm and palm or the hand, with its branches.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron. It is the last place where propagated membrane potentials are transmitted to the axon. An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron.

This video goes over the difference between the axon hillock region and the axon initial segment (AIS) in neurons. The AIS is more likely the sight of action potential initiation. Please excuse that the video incorrectly hyphenates axon hillock. Much of what is presented in this video can be better clarified by the following review: Bender KJ, Trussell LO. The physiology of the axon initial segment. Annu Rev Neurosci. 2012;35:249-65.
