Most neurons have only one axon, yet it is said that a single neuron can connect to many other neurons. How does this occur?
A) Neurons do not connect to multiple other neurons; they have one axon that connects to a single other neuron.
B) Neuron axons end in clusters of terminal buttons that allow them to connect to multiple cells.
C) Most neurons have multiple axons and only one dendrite; and the single dendrite limits the number of neurons that a cell can link to.
D) Neurons actually have multiple axons that allow it to connect to other neurons.
