Question 1 Report

Which of the following statements about nerve cells is not correct?
Answer Details
The statement "The cell body is always found at the end of the neurone" is not correct. Explanation: A nerve cell, also known as a neuron, consists of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites of a neuron receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors and transmit those signals to the cell body. The cell body processes and integrates these signals and generates an electrical impulse that travels down the axon. The axon relays this impulse to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Therefore, the axon is responsible for transmitting impulses away from the cell body, not towards it.
