Communication within a neuron begins with the dendrites, which receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. These signals are then transmitted to the cell body and ultimately down the axon, which carries the signal to the axon terminals where it can be passed on to other neurons or effectors (such as muscles). Therefore, the correct order is dendrites to the cell body to the axon.
