An axon (from Greek á¼Î¾ÏÎ½ Ã¡xÅn, axis), is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are also known as nerve fibers. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles and glands.

Body the function of the axon is to transmit information to different, neurons muscles and. glandsxons make contact with other cellsâusually other neurons but sometimes muscle or gland cellsâat junctions called synapses. At a synapse, the membrane of the axon closely adjoins the membrane of the target cell, and special molecular structures serve to transmit electrical or electrochemical signals across the gap.
