Learner notes
Memory Tip
想象神经细胞挥动斧头（ax）沿轴突砍出去，信号从细胞体‘on’向远方传导。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：neuroscience textbooks、medical research reports 通常用于神经科学、医学等专业领域，比较常见于学术文章或教科书；日常口语中很少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
与 taxon 押韵（/-æksɑn/）。Saxon 和 klaxon 拼写中都含 -axon，但读作不重读的 /sən/，而不是 /sɑn/，所以与 axon 不押韵。oxen 是拼写上的近似词，读作 /ˈɑk.sən/，重读元音不同。
