Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The definition and structure of a ganglion.
Introduction:
The spinal nerves are important because the spinal cord sends and receive signals from the body through the spinal nerves. The spinal nerve is composed of large number of nerve fibers or axons and resembles a cord-like appearance. The nervous tissue of the spinal cord is composed of organized cells that involve the body movements and send the signals to different parts of the body. The spinal cord tracts are stimulatory nerve pathways that pass the information through action potentials.

For a ganglion cell that has a red ON center and Green OFF surround, explain how
frequent these ganglion cells would fire an action potential in the following situations:
a. When there is no color hitting the ganglion
For a ganglion cell that has a red ON center and Green OFF surround, explain how
frequent these ganglion cells would fire an action potential in the following situations:
b. When red color hits the center only.
The ganglion in sympathetic nervous
system is situated near the CNS therefore,
the preganglion fibers is long and
postganglionic fibers is short. *
