I think the thalamus is the gateway to the cerebral cortex. Thalamus is a small structure within the brain located just above the brain stem between the cerebral cortex and the mid brain and has extensive nerve connections to both. Its main function is to relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex. A sensory impulse travels from the body surface towards the thalamus, which receives it as a sensation, which is then passed onto the cerebral cortex for interpretation as touch, pain or temperature.
Messages from the motor cortex are blocked by the brainstem.
No matter what the cell type, prokaryotic or eukaryotic, plant or animal, the cell membrane forms a protective barrier between the exterior environment and the interior of the cell.
Explanation:
Groundwater is the freshwater present below the earth's surface. It originates from the rain, ice, melting snow.
Some anthropogenic sources of groundwater pollution are
Groundwater pollution has more problems than surface water pollution because groundwater is mostly hidden and it is very difficult to view, manage and monitor.
Groundwater holds its contamination and pollutants that cause pollution whereas surface water rinses their contamination and pollutants.
Answer: 23
Explanation:
After the completion of meiosis in humans, a diploid germ cell has produced cells with half the original chromosome number, generating 23 haploid nuclei.
Meiosis is cell division that reduces chromosome number by half. Hence, a diploid germ cell with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) is halved to 23 nuclei at the end of meiosis, the 23 nuclei will be carried by the sex gamete
