The nervous system is made up of nerve cells called neurons, which carry electrical impulses from extensions called axons, through the cell body, to one extension called an axon terminal. Axons that are going to the same place in the body are bundled together into nerve tracts. What neurons carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord?
