<span>The bonds are covalent and, therefore, directional. They will only bond in one direction, which means that fewer electrons can bond to these materials, leading to a relatively low total number of electrons in the material, and therefore a lower overall density.</span>

xenn [34]

Answer:

1.) neurilemma (option f)

2.) nissil bodies (chromatiophillic substance)

3.) neurofibrilis ( option g)

4.) myelin ( option e)

5.) dendrite ( option d)

6.) collateral ( option c)

7.) astrocytes (option a)

8.) axon ( option b)

9.) Unipolar neuron (option i)

Explanation:

The neurological terms described above are different parts of a nerve cell or neurones. The nerve cells are the basic Structural units of the nervous system. They are highly specialised for transmitting electric impulses. They can also be grouped according to the number of processes they possess, for example, the UNIPOLAR NEURONS( those with one process only). Each neuron, however, is composed of the same basic parts which include:

--> The CELL BODY: they may be angular or oval in shape with a large nucleus and dense granulated cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, rough Endoplasmic reticulum which contains CHROMATIOPHILLIC SUBSTANCE (nissil bodies) and Golgi apparatus are also seen.Network of threadlike structures known as neurofibrilis are also seen within the cell body and extending into axon.

--> DENDRONS: these are one or more extensions which branches to form many fine dendrites. The DENDRONS carry nerve impulses( action potential) that their dendrites receive to the cell body.

--> AXON: this is a long process which branches at it's free end to end in synaptic knobs. It carries electric impulses away from the cell body. Most times, a substance of Schwann cell known as MYELIN SHEATH which is composed of lipoprotein insulates axons and increases impulse speed.

Before performing an mri, why must technicians ask patients if they have any steel inside their body?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The technicians ask the patients if they have any steel inside their body because the steel when subjected to a magnetic field they will become a magnet. since MRI produces a very large amount of magnetic field during its operation, then the still will be a magnet and it might hurt you
