Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The typical flow of information through a single neuron starts with the dendrites receiving input signals from other neurons, then the signal travels through the axon and ends at the axon bulb, where neurotransmitters are released to communicate with other neurons. Option A and D are incorrect because medulla and brain stem are parts of the brain and do not play a role in information flow through a single neuron. Option B is incorrect because the axon bulb is the end of the neuron, and the signal does not continue to dendrites after reaching it.
