Suppose the terminal ends of an axon are in contact with the dendrites of four adjacent neurons,the nerve impulse of the axon will
- ATravel in all the four neurons
- BGet distributed in all the four neurons resulting in a weak impulse
- CTravel only in one neuron which is in closest contact and with the same intensity
- DTravel in none of the neurons because the impulse travels from dendrites of one neuron into the axon of another neuron
