Question

In a neuron, the electrical impulse is converted to chemical signals at the _________ .

• A. axon
• B. nerve ending
• C. cell body
• D. dendrite

Answer 1

The correct option is B nerve ending

Neuron is the structural and functional unit of nervous system. Information in a neuron travels in the form of electrial impulses. Dendrite in a neuron acquires information. This information travels in the form of electrical impulse through the axon to reach the nerve ending. At the nerve ending, it is converted to a chemical signal. This chemical crosses a gap called synapse and reaches the next neuron generating an electrical impulse there.
