Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The correct direction of the neural impulse within one neuron.
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: -Final answer: The electrical impulse travels in a neuron from Dendrite → cell body → axon → axonal end.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A nerve impulse travels along the neuron in the form of electrical and chemical signals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Impulse enters a neuron through the dendrites. The information acquired at the end of the dendritic tip of a nerve cell sets off a chemical reaction that sends the impulse to the cell body where it is processed. From the cell body, the impulse moves into the axon and then to the axonal ends.
