Positive feedback
Connects initial segment to cell body
Sensory information
Monitor position/movement of joints
Myelin
One dendrite
Neuron cell bodies in PNS

Introduction:
There are a billion of neurons in the body, which are connected with each other in small groups and are known as neuronal pools. A neural circuit is described as the connection patterns formed by a neuronal pool. The neural circuit works in five different ways: parallel processing, divergence, reverberation, convergence, and serial processing.

A) Nerve plexuses occur in the cervical, brachial, lumbar and sacral regions. B) Nerve plexuses involve only the dorsal rami. C) Nerve plexuses are interlacing nerve networks, so that each branch of a plexus contains fibers from several spinal nerves. D) Because of nerve plexuses, each muscle in a limb receives its nerve supply from more than one spinal nerve. E) Because of nerve plexuses, damage to a single spinal segment or root cannot completely paralyze any limb muscle.

- Callisto survives the accident and goes to jail. Many years later she is found slumped in her cell, quite confused and with apparent paralysis in her right arm. When the jailer speaks to her, she is unable to produce any clear speech. Callisto can understand very simple sentences, and her sight is not affected. It is determined that she has a vascular occlusion (blockage) in her internal carotid artery. Callisto’s blood pressure is markedly lower than would be expected under physiological conditions. Based on this information, how are these structures in brain affected (if they are). Provide justification. Short answers. 1. Broca's area 2. Right posterior cerebral artery 3.
