A part of an axon, a cell projection of a neuron. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a cell surface projection. A prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite. The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding the leading edge of a motile cell. The main axonal trunk, as opposed to the collaterals. Any constituent part of a cell projection, a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding an axon; it is a specialized trilaminar random mosaic of protein molecules floating within a fluid matrix of highly mobile phospholipid molecules, 7-8 nm in thickness. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a neuron projection.
