Axons are long threadlike extensions that conduct nerve impulses away from the nerve cell; dendrites are short branched threadlike extensions that conduct nerve impulses towards the nerve cell body.

The axon is also known as a nerve fiber, and it functions to transmit nerve impulses away from the nerve cell body to different neurons, muscles and glands.
