Solutions For An Introduction to Brain and Behavior Chapter 4 Problem 3R3

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

The dendrites of the cell body receive the stimulus, but the cell body does not contain voltage-sensitive ion channels. So the impulse travels from the cell body or dendrites towards the axon hillock.

The action potentials are generated at the axon hillock, which travel through the axon and reach the nerve terminals.

Thus, the blanks can be filled with cell body; axon hillock; axon.
