Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of a neuron: A neuron typically consists of dendrites, a cell body (soma), an axon, and axon terminals.

Identify the function of each part: Dendrites receive incoming signals, the cell body processes these signals, the axon transmits the signal away from the cell body, and the axon terminals pass the signal to the next neuron or effector.

Determine the direction of signal flow: Signals in a neuron flow from the dendrites to the cell body, then down the axon, and finally to the axon terminals.

Match the flow with the options provided: Compare the typical flow of a neural signal with the options given in the problem.

Select the correct sequence: Choose the option that correctly represents the flow of a message through a neuron, which is Dendrite → Cell body → Axon → Axon terminal.
