Question

1Neural integration occurs at a neuron's cell body _____.
a) True
b) False

Answer 1

Neural integration occurs at a neuron's axon hillock, not its cell body.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Neural integration occurs at a neuron's axon hillock, not its cell body.

The cell body, also known as the soma, contains the nucleus and other organelles, but it is at the axon hillock where multiple signals from dendrites are integrated and a decision is made whether to generate an action potential or not. The axon hillock acts as a 'trigger zone' for the neuron.
