Axon
store neurotransmitters that are released at synapse
nerve fiber sends transmission away from soma
receive electric signals
insulating layer of protein around axon, allows for better transmission
maintain homeostasis and provide support
end of axon, conducts signals to synapse by neurotransmitters
contains nucleus, supports chemical processing
