| If the axon reorients towards or away from the pipette it suggests that the molecule acts chemotropically to influence axon behavior. |
| An orthodromic impulse runs along an axon in its normal direction, away from the soma. |
| Once the plaque matures, parts of the nerve cell, like the axon and dendrites, begin to degenerate. |
| The neurofibrils provide internal support within the neuron and there are also support cells associated with the axon. |
| The cell body is surrounded by a bush of up to ten or so dendrites, but typically has only one axon, which may have many branches. |
| In general, the signal travels across the synapse from the axon of one cell to the dendrite of the next. |
