Stephanie Goodwin · Answer 1

dendrite → cell body → axon → axon terminals is the correct answer

Leonel Blackwell · Answer 2

dendrite → cell body → axon → axon terminals

Explanation:

Dendrites are the extensions of the soma/cell body that serve to carry the nerve impulse towards the cell body.

Axon is the single large extension of the cell body and carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body towards the axon terminals.

The axon terminals of presynaptic neurons synapse with dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron. Hence, the nerve impulse is carried from the axon terminal to the dendrites at the synapse. The process continues and the nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to the next.
