Which sequence accurately reflects the route followed by nerve impulses when one neuron communicates with another?
A)dendrite axon cell body
B)dendrite cell body axon
C)axon cell body dendrite
D)axon dendrite cell body

Question

Which sequence accurately reflects the route followed by nerve impulses when one neuron communicates with another?
A)dendrite > axon > cell body
B)dendrite > cell body > axon
C)axon > cell body > dendrite
D)axon > dendrite > cell body

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve impulses typically travel from the dendrites, which receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors, to the cell body where the impulses are integrated and processed before being transmitted down the axon to the next neuron or effector cell. Therefore, the correct sequence would be dendrite > cell body > axon.
