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 axon, with its surrounded sheath, is called a nerve fiber. Between each pair of sucessive Schwann cells is a gap of a node of Ranvier. The Axon Hillock The axon hillock is where the axon is joined to the cell. It is from here that the electrical firing known as an action potential usually occurs. 5. Nerve Ending (Presynaptic Terminals) Synapses are the junctions formed with other nerve cells where the presynaptic terminal of one cell comes into 'contact' with the postsynaptic membrane of another. It is at these junctions that neurons are excited, inhibited, or modulated. There are two types of synapse, electrical and chemical.
