(N/A) Axons are long,slender,cylindrical projections of neurons (nerve cells) that transmit electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body toward other neurons,muscles,or glands.
In the animal body,axons are found as part of the nervous tissue. They aggregate in bundles to form nerves,which are distributed throughout the body to facilitate communication between different organs and the central nervous system.
