Question

In computers, when the print command is executed, a cable carries this signal from the computer to the printer. In comparing a computer to a neuron, the cable that carries the signal between the computer and the printer would be equivalent to

a) axon
b) dendrites
c) cell body
d) terminal buttons

Answer 1

a) axon

Step-by-step explanation:

In computers, when the print command is executed, a cable carries this signal from the computer to the printer. In comparing a computer to a neuron, the cable that carries the signal between the computer and the printer would be equivalent to an axon which is used to communicate messages to external cells.

Dendrites is not relevant because it represents the termination components of axon.
