Which of the following describe the myelination of the nervous system correctly? Please select all that apply.
A) Caudal structures are myelinated before rostral structures.
B) Myelination of the human central nervous system is not complete until around the age of 25 years.
C) Sensory systems are myelinated before motor systems in the cerebral cortex.
D) Myelination at different ages is not very predictive of behavioral differences.
Which of the following is NOT true of the nervous system?(a) Consists of central and peripheral systems(b) Central nervous system is composed of brain and spinalcord(c) Ganglia are part of brain(d) Meninges are membranes that cover brain and spinalcord(e) Normally free of microbes
Scientists are experimenting with new technologies that
could help people with missing limbs. In one investigation,
electrodes implanted in the nervous tissue of a monkey
were connected to an artificial hand. The monkey's nervous
system was able to direct the artificial hand to move. The
below image shows the monkey raising a piece of zucchini
to its mouth using the thought-controlled robotic are (A).
a. Using a flowchart, illustrate the basic neural pathway
from the sensory stimulus to the motor output.
b. What are some other potential applications for this
technology?
c. Do the benefits to human life justify this form of
animal research?
