Question

Based on the structures discussed about neuronal anatomy, an action potential is more likely to travel _____________________. Group of answer choices from axon hillock to dendrite. from axon terminal to soma. from soma to axon terminal.

Answer 1

From soma to axon terminal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The signal travels in the neurons in the form of an action potential or the ions or the electrical impulse. The electrical impulse is generated in the axon hillock located one end of the cell body of the neuron which contains the nucleus.

The generated electrical impulse travels in the one direction from the soma or the axon hillock to the axon terminal via the axon ans cannot travel in both directions due to the refractory phase.

Thus, From soma to axon terminal is the correct answer.
