The signal is first reach to dendrites. From the dendrites, the signal transmit to the cell body and then to the axon hillock. The signal then transmits to the axon. At the end of neuron the message is transmitted to the synaptic terminal. The nerve impulse finally reaches to the biceps brachii and results in the flexion of the arm at the elbow.
