An action potential would most commonly arrive from which of the following structures before arriving at the axon?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The action potential is generated at the axon hillock, which is located at the beginning of the axon. Before reaching the axon hillock, the electrical signal must travel through the dendrites and cell body of the neuron. However, glia cells are non-excitable and do not generate action potentials, and synapses are sites of communication between neurons but do not generate action potentials themselves.
