Spreading out from the cell body of a neuron are short, branched extensions called axons. This is false. The short, branched extensions are called dendrites.unction of axon: n axon is found on the end of a nerve cell in the body, known as a neuron, and its primary function is to conduct electrical signals from that neuron to receptor sites known as dendrites on other neuron surfaces.
The dendrites and axon are thin cytoplasmic extensions of the neuron. The dendrites, which branch out in treelike fashion from the cell body, are specialized to receive signals and transmit them toward the cell body. The single long axon carries signals away from the cell body. In humans, a single axon may be as long as 1 meter (about 3 feet). Some neurons that have cell bodies in the spinal cord have axons that extend all the way down to the toes.
