Axon.

Explanation:

Computer networks and the nervous system are similar in functionality. They both transmit signal information to different determine parts in their networks.

In computer networking, telephone lines are used to connect networks in different buildings to a pool, while axons are neural fibres used to connect nerve tissues like glands, muscles and neurons to the spinal cord and the brain.

The axon is a long slender nerve cell that transmit using electrical charges in the nervous system.
