The axons of nerve cells are surrounded by myelin sheeths - a protective covering that allows for saltatory conduction down the axons, increasing speed and decreasing loss of signal. Axons make up the tissue known as "white matter."

What does the nerve cell include?
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
axon
Can a nerve fiber survive without its cell or its axon?
It can survive without an axon but not without its cell
What influences the speed of a nerve impulse?
the diameter of an axon
A synapse is the space between what?
Usually from the axon of one nerve to the dendrite of another. The axon sends impulses away from the nerve body, and the dendrite receives impulses from other nerves.
What is the difference between a nerve dendrite and a nerve axon structurally?
The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.
Axon is what?
An axon (or axone) is a nerve fibre which is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, which conducts nerve impulses away from the body of the cell to a synapse.
What composed of a cell bodydendritesand axon?
Nerve cell or neuron
What does the nerve cell include?
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
What is the name of the area where nerve impulses arises?
receptive region?
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
axon
How can you the word axon in a sentence?
The axon carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Synaptic vesicles are found in what?
Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of nerve cells.
Can a nerve fiber survive without its cell or its axon?
It can survive without an axon but not without its cell
Mechanism of nerve conduction?
Nerve impulses are conducted along the axon in the myelinated nerve fiber with causes the polarity of the nerve.
A nerve impulse starts at the dendrite then travels to the?
axon
What are highly branched parts of the nerve cells?
axon
