The 23 pages that link to Axon, each with the reason it gives.

• Peripheral neuropathyBroader topic: Damage to axons can interrupt signals along peripheral nerves.

• NeuronBroader topic: It carries action potentials toward the neuron’s synaptic output.

• MyelinNarrower topic: Myelin wraps axons, changing their electrical properties and providing metabolic support.

• NeurodegenerationRelated: Axonal damage is a frequent early component of degenerative neuronal change.

• Guillain–Barré syndromeRelated: Axonal variants damage the nerve fiber itself rather than primarily stripping its myelin.

• Optic nerveRelated: The optic nerve consists chiefly of retinal ganglion-cell axons.

• DemyelinationRelated: Myelin surrounds axons, and damage to the sheath can compromise their signaling.

• OligodendrocyteRelated: Oligodendrocytes wrap axons rather than neuronal cell bodies.

• White matterBroader topic: Axons form the long-distance fibers bundled within white matter.

• Santiago Ramón y CajalBroader topic: Its distinct output role supported Cajal’s account of polarized signal flow.

• Saltatory conductionNarrower topic: Saltatory conduction occurs along axons whose membrane is segmented by myelin.

• Schwann cellRelated: Schwann cells support axons and wrap segments of many peripheral axons.

• Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathyBroader topic: Some chemotherapy drugs disrupt axons, impairing signal transmission along peripheral nerves.

• Nerve conductionBroader topic: Action potentials propagate along this specialized cellular cable.

• Olfactory nerveNarrower topic: The nerve consists principally of axons extending from olfactory sensory neurons.

• LeukodystrophyRelated: Leukodystrophy-related myelin loss disrupts signaling along these nerve fibers.

• Neuron doctrineBroader topic: Axons provide a distinct output pathway from each cellular unit.

• DendriteCompared with: Axons typically transmit a neuron's output, whereas dendrites chiefly receive synaptic input.

• Charcot–Marie–Tooth diseaseRelated: Axonal CMT forms primarily damage this nerve-cell structure.

• Pelizaeus–Merzbacher diseaseRelated: Myelin normally wraps axons, and its loss compromises their signal conduction.

• Neural pathwayBroader topic: Axons provide the long-distance conducting segments of many pathways.

• Ganglia (anatomy)Related: Axons connect ganglion neurons with targets or other parts of the nervous system.

• Refractory period (neurophysiology)Narrower topic: Refractoriness along the axon supports one-way propagation rather than backward re-excitation.
