Chapter 19, Problem 1.1BGL
Summary Introduction

To label: The figure 19.1

Introduction: The nervous system plays an important role in transmitting the reflexes from the tissues to the brain. The neuron is the functional unit of the nervous system. It consists of cell body, axon, and dendrons. Based on the function, the neurons are classified as sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Another classification of neurons include unipolar neurons, bipolar neurons, and multipolar neurons that depend on the structure of the neurons.

Fig1: The components of the reflex arc.

Explanation of Solution

The reflexes are the involuntary, rapid, motor responses to the external stimulus. The nerve impulses are carried from the receptor to the effector through the neural reflex arc pathway. The five components of the reflex arc are sensory receptor, sensory neuron, integrating centre, motor neuron, and the effector. The sensory receptor detects the external stimulus and generates the action potential, which inturn passes through the sensory neuron. The sensory neuron has two parts namely sensory neuron,  cell body, and sensory neuron axon. The sensory neuron is a cell body that conducts the impulse to the sensory neuron axon. This inturn sends the impulse to the integrating centre located on the gray matter of the brain. In the integrating centre, the interneurons synapse with the motor neurons that contain two parts namely motor neuron and motor neuron axon. The motor neuron is a cell body that sends the impulse to the motor neuron axon that inturn sends the impulse to the effector.

Topic: Benthic invertebrates as an indicator species for climate change, mapping changes in ecosystems (Historical Analysis & GIS)  What objects or events has the team chosen to analyze? How does your team wish to delineate the domain or scale in which these objects or events operate? How does that limited domain facilitate a more feasible research project? What is your understanding of their relationships to other objects and events? Are you excluding other things from consideration which may influence the phenomena you seek to understand? Examples of such exclusions might include certain air-born pollutants; a general class of water bodies near Ottawa, or measurements recorded at other months of the year; interview participants from other organizations that are involved in the development of your central topic or issue.   In what ways do your research questions follow as the most appropriate and/or most practical questions (given the circumstances) to pursue to better understand…
The Esp gene encodes a protein that alters the structure of the insulin receptor on osteoblasts and interferes with the binding of insulin to the receptor. A researcher created a group of osteoblasts with an Esp mutation that prevented the production of a functional Esp product (mutant). The researcher then exposed the mutant strain and a normal strain that expresses Esp to glucose and compared the levels of insulin in the blood near the osteoblasts (Figure 2). Which of the following claims is most consistent with the data shown in Figure 2 ? A Esp expression is necessary to prevent the overproduction of insulin. B Esp protein does not regulate blood-s
