Question

use the drop-down menus to complete the sentences about how neurons distribute information to the body. information enters the neuron through the drop-down. information passes through the drop-down n. information leaves the neuron through the drop-down. the drop-down options are: cell body, axon terminals, dendrites

Explanation:

To determine the correct parts of the neuron for information flow:

1. Information enters the neuron: Dendrites are the structures that receive signals (information) from other neurons or sensory inputs. So the first blank (enters through) should be "dendrites".
2. Information passes through: After being received by dendrites, information moves to the cell body (soma) which processes it. So the second blank (passes through) should be "cell body".
3. Information leaves the neuron: Axon terminals are at the end of the axon and release neurotransmitters to send information to other neurons or target cells. So the third blank (leaves through) should be "axon terminals".

Answer:

• Information enters the neuron through the dendrites.
• Information passes through the cell body.
• Information leaves the neuron through the axon terminals.
