The electrical signal within one neuron travels from
A
Axon Terminal to Dendrite
B
Dendrite to Axon Terminal
C
Cell Body to Axon
D
Axon Terminal to Cell Body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The dendrites receive the nerve impulse from cells which are passed to the cell body and through the axon. The nerve impulse is transmitted to the dendrites of the next neuron via the synapse. When the nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal, neurotransmitters are released by the axon in the synapse.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: An action potential (nerve impulse) is an electrical signal that travels down the axon of a neuron, resulting in the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two mechanisms have evolved to transmit nerve signals. First, within cells, electrical signals are conveyed along the cell membrane. Second, for communication between cells, the electrical signals generally are converted into chemical signals conveyed by small messenger molecules called neurotransmitters.

Detailed explanation-4: -The transfer of information from neuron to neuron takes place through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and the dendrites. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and the process is called neurotransmission. The space between the axon and the dendrites is called the synapse.

Detailed explanation-5: -When a nerve impulse reaches the end of an axon, the axon releases chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters travel across the synapse between the axon and the dendrite of the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to the membrane of the dendrite.
