Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the correct nerve pathway?
A
dendrite > axon > cell body > synapse > dendrite
B
dendrite > cell body > axon > synapse > dendrite
C
axon > cell body > dendrite > synapse > axon
D
axon > cell body > dendrite > synapse > axon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Dendrite → cell body → axon’.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct order of involvement of the given parts of neuron in electrical impulse is Dendrites → Cell body → Axon → Axon terminal → Synaptic Knob.

Detailed explanation-3: -A neuron sending a signal (i.e., a presynaptic neuron) releases a chemical called a neurotransmitter, which binds to a receptor on the surface of the receiving (i.e., postsynaptic) neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from presynaptic terminals, which may branch to communicate with several postsynaptic neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -The flow of information moves in the following direction: dendrite to soma to axon to terminal buttons to synapse.
