Question

What sequence does information travel along the three basic parts of a neuron?

Answer 1

Dendrites: Most neurons contain many dendrites. The dendrites gather signals from other neurons and then convert them into electrical signals called impulses. Then they transmit these impulses to the cell body. Dendrites look like tree branches.

Cell body: The cell body is also known as soma. It contains the nucleus and the cell organelles.

Axons: Axons are large fibers that extend from the cell body. Each neuron has only one axon, and axons are generally long. Some axons are covered with a myelin sheath, a type of insulation that helps the axon rapidly transmit impulses. Axons carry nerve impulses to other neurons through junctions called synapses. They can also transmit nerve impulses to other types of cells, such as muscle cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Signals are transmit along the neuron as a result of electrical changes across the membrane of the neuron. Information travel along the basic part of a neutron in the following sequence: action potential, re polarization, hyper polarization and refractory period.
