Question

Within a neuron, information typically flows in which directional order? science forum

Answer 1

Neurons are cells of the nervous system that aid the flow of impulses or information to and from the CNS. The major neurons include the sensory neuron, motor neuron and the relay neurons. It comprises of various parts that aid its function of carrying information namely, axon, dendrites, cell body (soma), myelin sheath. Information is picked up from the dendrites and then transferred to the cell body through action potentials. Then from the cell body the information is taken to the axon which then goes to the pre-synaptic terminal that sends the information to the next neuron which will then repeat the same flow of information.
