Question

Choose the correct pathway for electrical impulse transmission through neuron.

• A. $\mathrm{Cell}\mathrm{body}\to \mathrm{Axon}\to \mathrm{Axon}\mathrm{terminal}\to \mathrm{Dendrite}$
• B. $\mathrm{Dendrite}\to \mathrm{Axon}\to \mathrm{Cell}\mathrm{body}\to \mathrm{Axon}\mathrm{terminal}$
• C. $\mathrm{Cell}\mathrm{body}\to \mathrm{Dendrite}\to \mathrm{Axon}\mathrm{terminal}\to \mathrm{Axon}$
• D. $\mathrm{Dendrite}\to \mathrm{Cell}\mathrm{body}\to \mathrm{Axon}\to \mathrm{Axon}\mathrm{terminal}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\mathrm{Dendrite}\to \mathrm{Cell}\mathrm{body}\to \mathrm{Axon}\to \mathrm{Axon}\mathrm{terminal}$

The cell body of a neuron is called cyton. It bears various branched processes called dendrites which receive the electric impulses.
From cyton, a long unbranched projection arises called axon which carry the impulse away from it. And the end portion of the axon is called axon terminal which transmits the electric impulses to the next neuron at synapse.
