respond to stimulation produced in the tissues in which they lie‚ provoking an impulse that is transmitted centrally along the axon. The axon is a long cylinder of neural cytoplasm encased in a thin sheath‚ the nerve membrane. At its central end‚ there is an arborization similiar to that seen in the dendritic zone. However‚ the arborization form synapses with various nuclei in the CNS to distribute incoming (sensory) impulses to their appropriate sites within the CNS. The axoplasm‚ a gelatinous substance
