The fiber that carries signals away from a neuron's cell body is called an axon. In the structure of a neuron, the axon is typically a long, slender projection that conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the neuron's cell body, or soma, toward other neurons, muscle cells, or glands. This process of transmitting signals is essential for the communication between different parts of the nervous system as well as between the nervous system and the rest of the body.
