Solution

Axon:

  1. The component of a nerve cell (neuron) known as the axon, also known as a nerve fiber, is responsible for carrying nerve impulses away from the cell body.
  2. Axons are said to be at rest.
  3. Positively charged proteins and K+ are both abundant in the axoplasm of the axon when they do not conduct action potentials.
