Extensión filamentosa de la neurona por la que envía información a las células con las que se comunica. <(F): Axone: prolongement de la cellule nerveuse. Longue expansion du neurone qui transporte les influx nerveux du corps cellulaire jusqu'à la synapse. La plupart des axones sont couverts d’une gaine de myéline qui accélère la conduction des signaux électriques.
<(Ing): Axon: long fiber of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells; each nerve cell has one axon, which can be over a foot long; in the peripheral nervous system, the larger (myelinated) axons are surrounded by a myelin sheath formed by concentric layers of plasma membrane of the Schwann cell.
