In many neurons, a single axon conducts action potentials generated by the _______ to the _______.
A) dendrites; axon hillock
B) dendrites; axon terminals
C) axon hillock; axon terminal
D) environment; cell body
E) glial cells; neurons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In most neurons, action potentials are generated by the dendrites and cell body, and then conducted down the axon to the axon terminal, where the signal is transmitted to other cells. The axon hillock is the region of the neuron where the action potential is typically initiated and then conducted down the length of the axon. Therefore, the correct answer is C: axon hillock to axon terminal.
