Out of the following given choices;

A. dendrite.

B. Neuron.

C. axon.

D. neuroglia.

The answer is; B

The basic structure of a neuron is given in the attached image. Input signal coming into a neuron do so through the dendrites that may receive many thousands of input signals. The summation of these signals determine whether there will be the transmission of an impulse on the neuron, that is when the threshold potential is reached. This impulse travels through the axon and into the axon terminals and into the synapse that transmits the impulse to the next neuron.

Column A Column B a. Astrocyte b. Axon c. Collateral d. Dendrite e. Myelin f. Neurilemma g. Neurofibrils h. Nissl bodies (chroma
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.

Tom [10]

Answer:

Endothermic

Explanation:

Amphibians are ectothermic organisms. Ectothermic animals are coldblooded animals. From the options above, the correct answer is endothermic because amphibians are not hot blooded and are never endothermic.

When Dr. Jeff jumps on a skateboard and uses the fire extinguisher to move, which of these does he change to move BACK to where
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) direction of force</em>

Explanation:

In the terms of physics, force can be described as a push or pull on an object which allows the object to either move forward or backwards or in other directions.

When Dr. Jeff uses the fire extinguisher of the skateboard to move forward, he will require the same force to move backward but in the opposite direction. Hence, for moving backwards, the only thing required by Dr. Jeff to move backwards will be the direction of the force.
