Answer:

Axon

Step-by-step explanation:

Soma or cell body is one of the parts of neurons, the cells of the nervous system. Several short and branched and one large extension arise from the soma.

The single large extension of soma is called the axon. Axon is the part of the neuron that serves to carry the nerve impulse away from soma during conduction of the impulse.
