Question

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
E. terminal branches to the axon to the cell body

Answer 1

Hello there!

Your answer would be C. dendrites to the cell body to the axon

When you plug in your answer to the question, it'll say:

In transmitting sensory information to the brain, an electrical signal travels from the dendrites to the cell body to the axon of a single neuron.

The reason why C. dendrites to the cell body to the axon would be the correct answer is because the dendrites receives the signal of electricity, then sends it to the cell body (nucleus), and then is transmitting to the axon, that is conducted straight from the cell body. This whole process would transmit sensory information to the brain, in which our brain does all the time.
