Which of the following statements about transmission of nerve impulse is incorrect?

Model Answer & Options

Source: Exemplar

Nerve impulse travels from dendritic end towards axonal end

At the dendritic end electrical impulses bring about the release of some chemicals which generate an electrical impulse at the axonal end of another neuron

The chemicals released from the axonal end of one neuron cross the synapse and generate a similar electrical impulse in a dendrite of another neuron

A neuron transmits electrical impulses not only to another neuron but also to muscle and gland cells
