Question

Choose the correct pathway for electrical impulse transmission through neurons.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D Dendrite$\to$Cell body$\to$Axon$\to$ Axon 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 carries the impulse away from it.
• The end portion of the axon is called the axon terminal which transmits the electrical impulses to the next neuron at synapse.
