Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axons are the elongated, cable-like structures that carry neural messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. They do not receive or detect neural impulses; that is the role of dendrites. Axons also do not secrete chemicals to lubricate the cell body. The axons are not found within the cell body, but rather extend from it.
