NERVOUS SYSTEM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these are the two major functions of “neurons” (pick two)
A
Ability to respond to a stimulus and converts it to a nerve impulse
B
Ability to secrete lubricating substances
C
Ability to transmit impulse to other neurons, muscles or glands.
D
Ability to excrete waste substance from the body.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These are to: Receive signals (or information). Integrate incoming signals (to determine whether or not the information should be passed along). Communicate signals to target cells (other neurons or muscles or glands).

Detailed explanation-2: -Interneurons. As the name suggests, interneurons are the ones in between-they connect spinal motor and sensory neurons. As well as transferring signals between sensory and motor neurons, interneurons can also communicate with each other, forming circuits of various complexity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons conduct electrical impulses by using the Action Potential. This phenomenon is generated through the flow of positively charged ions across the neuronal membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unipolar neurons: These neurons have a single long axon that is responsible for sending electrical signals. Multipolar neurons: These neurons are able to receive impulses from multiple neurons via dendrites. More items •10-Jan-2022
