In transmitting sensory information to the brain,an electrical signal travels from the ________ of a single neuron.
A) dendrites to the axon to the cell body
B) axon to the cell body to the dendrites
C) dendrites to the cell body to the axon
D) axon to the dendrites to the cell body

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transmission of sensory information starts with the dendrites of a single neuron receiving signals from other neurons. These signals combine at the cell body, which then produces an electrical signal that travels down the axon of the neuron. Therefore, the correct sequence is dendrites to cell body to axon. Choice C correctly reflects this sequence, while the other choices have the sequence in the wrong order or reversed.
