Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A neural impulse travels from the dendrites, which receive input from other neurons, to the cell body where the input is integrated, then down the axon, which transmits the signal, and finally to the terminal buttons where the impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters to communicate with the next neuron. Choice A correctly represents this sequence.
