The electrical impulse travels in a neuron from the dendrite to the cell body, then to the axon, and finally to the axonal end.
Explanation:
Dendrites:
These receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.
Cell Body:
The impulse travels to the cell body (or soma) where the nucleus is located and where information is processed.
Axon:
The impulse then moves down the axon, a long projection that carries the signal away from the cell body.
Axonal End:
The impulse eventually reaches the end of the axon (axonal end or terminal), where it is transmitted to the next neuron or target cell, often through the release of neurotransmitters. Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Dendrite → cell body → axon → axonal end.
