Therefore, at the point of the node of Ranvier, the axon is reduced in diameter.

Researchers also suspect that the AIS enables an axon to maintain its identity.

- Long nerve fiber that conducts away from the cell body of the neuron
- (axonal) of or relating to or resembling an axon
- (Axonal) This is one of the anesthetics available on the Prometheus. (Message in a Bottle)
- (Axons) are long nerve processes which carry nerve impulses from the Soma to other neurons, they vary in length but can become almost as long as half of the human body.
- (Axons) The long projections from nerves which transmit electrical impulses to the nerve terminals. Axons are covered in an insulating material (myelin) which is composed of fatty substances and looks white to the naked eye (hence the term white matter).
- The cable-like structure neurons used to send messages to other neurons. It carries the neuron's electrical message.
- The long, hair-like extension of a nerve cell that carries a message to the next nerve cell.
- The part of the neuron that allows it to send messages to other nerve cells; although each neuron can have only one axon, the axon itself can have many branches which connects it to many others
- The inner core of peripheral nerves.
