MSH: Nerve fibers that are capable of rapidly conducting impulses away from the neuron cell body.,CSP: 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.,GO: The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. [GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732],FMA: Neurite which has as its direct parts an axon hillock, an axon proper, one or more axon collaterals and one or more axon terminals.,UWDA: Cell appendage of a neuron that consists of an axon hillock, an axon proper, axon collaterals and an axon terminal.,NCI: A projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuronal cell body.
