Axon

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to send a message to a friend, but they're in another room, and you can't just shout it out. Instead, you write the message on a piece of paper and send it through a series of tubes that connect your room to theirs. This is similar to how an axon works in a neuron, where the axon acts like the tube, carrying the message (in the form of electrical impulses) away from the neuron's cell body. Just as the tube ensures your message reaches your friend without getting lost, the axon ensures that the nerve signal is delivered efficiently to its destination, maintaining clear communication within the nervous system.
