What does AXONE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
An older spelling of axon, the long fibre of a nerve cell that carries electrical signals away from the cell body.
Axone appears in nineteenth and early twentieth century anatomy and physiology texts for what is now almost universally written as axon. This thread-like part of a neuron transmits electrical impulses toward other cells, sometimes over a distance of a metre or more in large animals. Modern textbooks and journals eventually settled on the shorter spelling axon, so axone now turns up mainly when quoting or reprinting scientific writing from an earlier era. The two spellings name exactly the same structure, with no difference in meaning between them.
