B)terminal buttons,axon,soma,dendrites
C)axon,soma,dendrites,axon terminal
D)dendrites,soma,axon,axon terminal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The impulse (or action potential) travels from the dendrites, through the cell body (soma), down the axon, and finally to the axon terminal where it can communicate with other neurons or target cells. Therefore, the correct sequence is dendrites, soma, axon, axon terminal. Choice D is the only option that presents this sequence in the correct order.
