What is the correct direction of the flow of electrical impulses?

Answers (1)

For the generation of nerve impulses, nerve cells should be in contact with each other. The nerve impulse is transmitted in the following sequence:
Axon end- synapse- dendrites- dendron- cyton- axon body- axon end.

The nerve impulse travels in the form of electrical signals from one end of the axon to the synapse. At the synaptic cleft, the electrical impulse is converted to the chemical impulse. Further, this nerve impulse flows from the synaptic cleft to dendritic tips, converting the chemical impulse to an electrical impulse. Thus, the flow of impulse is always from one axonal end of a neuron to the dendronal end of another neuron. Therefore, the correct option is (c).
