Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axons are long, slender projections of a neuron that carry nerve impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons, muscles or glands. While some axons may be quite long, they are not typically 400 metres in length. Axons are not responsible for hypothalamic functions such as sexual regulation and motivation. Axons are not contained within the cell nucleus as they are a part of the neuron's cytoplasm.
