Question

through which information travels as an electrical impulse in neuron

Answer 1

i) Through cell body (cyton) to axon and along axon to axon ends information travels in the form of electric impulse.

ii) The electrical impulse is converted into a chemical signal at the synapse.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The transmission of information in a neuron takes place through the axon in the neurons.
• The information is passed through electrical impulse and travels down an ‘axon of the neuron’ that receives the signal.
• The information is then received by the ‘dendrites’ of the adjacent neurons that are in contact with the previous neuron through a synapse.
• The dendrites upon receiving the information, pass it on to its axon.
• At the end of one axon, electrical impulse is converted to chemical signals.
