Source sentences:
text: Axons are the processes that extend from neuronal cell bodies, carrying signals between those bodies.
text: In the PNS, axons carry signals to muscles and glands or from sensory organs such as the skin.
text: The units of communication are the nerve cells (neurons), which consist of a bulbous cell body (home to the nucleus), trees of signal-detecting dendrites, and an axon that extends from the cell body and carries signals to other cells.
text: Most axons carry signals in the form of action potentials, which are discrete electrochemical impulses that travel rapidly along an axon, starting at the cell body and terminating at points where the axon makes synaptic contact with target cells.
text: But in many other white matter regions of the CNS, adjacent axons may carry signals in opposite directions or be interwoven in a complex meshwork.
