Summary Introduction
To match:
The term from the column A to the answer codes in the column B.
Introduction:
Nervous system is formed of central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). CNS contains brain and spinal cord. PNS contains the nerve fibers that carry signals between CNS and body parts. These nerve fibers have afferent division and efferent division. Interneurons are present between afferent and efferent neurons.

15) Which of the following is not a function of astrocytes?
A) guide the migration of young neurons, synapse formation, and helping to determine ca
permeability
B) support and brace neurons
C) anchor neurons to blood vessels
Because the long axons of neurons look like electrical wires, and both neurons and electrical wires conduct electricity, it is tempting to equate the two. Compare and contrast the functioning of axons and electrical wires in terms of their structure and the nature of the electrical signals they conduct. Please include references.

- 1. Label the parts of this neuron: 2. Explain the function of each component in #1. 3. Mark the following statements as TRUE or FALSE: An action potential is something that only occurs at synapses. Afferent pathways send sensory information to the CNS for processing. When they are at rest, neurons are more positively charged inside than outside the cell. FALSE Action potentials originate at the axon terminal and move towards the dendrites. An action potential travels down the length of the neuron with the help of voltage-gated calcium channels. Neurons can only have one action potential and must be recycled by glia once they have depolarized. At axon terminals, calcium influx stimulates vesicle release. Ligand-gated ion channels open in response to a molecule binding to them. 4. For each FALSE statement in #3, explain why it is incorrect.

- sometimes the terms neuron and nerve are mistakenly used interchangeably. explain the difference between the two structures.arrow_forwardThis assignment is designed to get you thinking about the functions of some of the structures in the central and peripheral nervous system. Listed below are different symptoms or complications that can be attributed to something from the nervous system. List the specific structure that is most likely the root cause of the pathology. In addition, label which branch of the nervous system that structure is a part of (CNS or PNS). I suggest making a table with the pathology in one column, the affected structure in the next column, and the nervous system section in the final column. Two examples are below. It is possible that more than one answer could be correct. Pathology/Patient Specific Structure CNS or PNS?

What type of cell would be the most likely target of this disease? Why? Which type of neuron, based on its shape, is best suited for relaying information directly from one neuron to another? Explain why. Sensory fibers, or pathways, are referred to as “afferent.” Motor fibers, or pathways, are referred to as “efferent.” What can you infer about the meaning of these two terms (afferent and efferent) in a structural or anatomical context?arrow_forward1) Draw a pseudo-unipolar neuron synapsing onto a dendrite on a multi-polar neuron.
