All multicellular animals contain elongated nerve cells, called neurons. Each neuron has a cell body, axon and smaller processes called dendrites. An axon is the process of a nerve cell that carries impulses away from it. It runs parallel to one another and each is surrounded along its whole length by series of Schwann cells. They may have myelin sheath.
