<P> An axon ( from Greek ἄξων áxōn , axis ) , is a long , slender projection of a nerve cell , or neuron , that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron 's cell body . Axons are also known as nerve fibers . The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons , muscles , and glands . In certain sensory neurons ( pseudounipolar neurons ) , such as those for touch and warmth , the electrical impulse travels along an axon from the periphery to the cell body , and from the cell body to the spinal cord along another branch of the same axon . Axon dysfunction has caused many inherited and acquired neurological disorders which can affect both the peripheral and central neurons . Nerve fibers are classed into three types -- A delta fibers , B fibers , and C fibres . A and B are myelinated and C are unmyelinated . </P>
