Question
Chapter 13.2, Problem 4AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The definition and structure of a ganglion.
Introduction:
The spinal nerves are important because the spinal cord sends and receive signals from the body through the spinal nerves. The spinal nerve is composed of large number of nerve fibers or axons and resembles a cord-like appearance. The nervous tissue of the spinal cord is composed of organized cells that involve the body movements and send the signals to different parts of the body. The spinal cord tracts are stimulatory nerve pathways that pass the information through action potentials.

- Explains how the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system work together as foils, balancing each other out. Their key anatomical differences - where nerve fibers originate and their ganglia are located - drive their distinct anatomical functions, making the sympathetic nervous system the "fight or flight" while the parasympathetic nervous system is for "resting and digesting."arrow_forwarda channel can be gated mechanically, voltage or by a ligand.

- Phenytoin (sodium channel blocker) and ethosuximide (calcium channel blocker) are anti-seizure drugs that stop seizures from happening. These drugs work by inhibiting electrical impulses (action potentials) from occurring. Explain the importance of sodium and calcium channels on a neuron and the reasons why action potentials do not occur when these channels are inhibited.
