Which of these alternatives shows the correct order for a neuron that is leaving the spine? Think of the neuron starting at the spinal cord and an exiting the spine, going to your chest. What would be the path? It would travel out of the spine into the spinal nerve, past the dorsal branch and into the rootlet of the chest. into a spinal nerve, then into a ventral root and then into an anterior branch past a rootlet, into a ventral branch, past a dorsal root, and then to the chest past a rootlet, into a ventral root, into a spinal nerve and then into an anterior branch

You are doing a nerve conduction velocity test as shown in the diagram. If the test is performed on a multiple sclerosis patient whose myelinated axons are attacked, how would the conduction velocity differ from that recorded from a normal healthy person? Nerve Monitor Nerve Conduction Velocity Test (NCCV Test) conduction velocity will be faster in the patient. conduction velocity will be slower in the patient. O only the conduction of autonomic nerve is affected. O other:
Please, I do not understand this question. An explanation leading to the CORRECT answer would be helpful! Question: White matter in your spinal cord typically are neurons involved in transferring signals very rapidly throughout the central nervous system. The white color of white matter is the result of myelin sheaths around axons Which of the following is the most important major difference between signals moving through white matter vs gray matter?
Two separate post-synaptic interneurons receive synaptic potentials from afferent neurons in the periphery. The dendrites of one these interneurons receive an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP) and an inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP) of equal magnitude at the same time. The dendrites of the other interneuron receive one excitatory post-synaptic potential that is the same sized as the EPSP and IPSP received by the other interneuron
