  • 2. 

    The _______ is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system, specialized for the transmission of nerve impulses.

    Explanation
    Neurons are highly specialized cells that form the basis of the nervous system. They are responsible for transmitting information throughout the body via electrical and chemical signals. Each neuron consists of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon, which work together to receive, process, and transmit nerve impulses.

    What is the major functional difference between neuroglial cells and neurons?

    Explanation
    Neuroglial cells are nonexcitable cells of neural tissue, meaning they cannot generate or transmit nerve impulses. On the other hand, neurons are excitable cells that are specialized to generate and transmit electrical signals. This functional difference is important because neurons are responsible for transmitting information throughout the nervous system, while neuroglial cells have supportive roles such as providing structural support, insulation, and nourishment to neurons.

  • 4. 

    What sub-type of neuroglial would you find lining the central canal?

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The epidemal cells." Epidemal cells are a sub-type of neuroglial cells that line the central canal. These cells are responsible for providing support and protection to the central nervous system.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What are structure and function of Dendrite?

    Explanation
    Dendrites are the receptive regions of a neuron, meaning they receive signals from other neurons. They have a diffusing branching structure that provides a large surface area for receiving these signals. This allows the dendrites to effectively collect and transmit information to the cell body of the neuron.
