Solution
The correct option is D Figure [B] – Site (a) is in refractory period Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A nerve impulse travels along the neuron in the form of electrical and chemical signals.
The following four steps describe the initiation of an impulse to the “resetting” of a neuron to prepare for a second stimulation:
