Question

Match the terms in column A with the descriptions in column B. Mace the latter of your choice in the ​

Answer 1

1. Transmits impulse from sensory to motor neuron within central nervous system. Interneuron (d)

2. Transmits impulse out of the brain or spinal cord to effectors (muscle and glands). Motor -efferent- neuron (f)

3. Transmits impulse into brain or spinal cords from receptors. Sensory -afferent- neuron (h)

4. Myelin-forming neuroglia in brain and spinal cord. Oligodendrocyte (g)

5. Phagocitic neuroglia. Microglia (e)

6. Structure capable of responding to motor impulse. Effector (a)

7. Specialized mass of neuron cell bodies outside the brain or spinal cord. Ganglion (c)

8. Cells that line cavities of the brain and secrete cerebrospinal fluid. Ependymal cells (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

These are structures related to nerve tissue and the functions of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

1. Interneuron: are the communications that are established between neurons, consisting of a synapse between one axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another. They allow to relate a stimulus received by the central nervous system (CNS) and the response that is sent to the peripheral nervous system.
2. Motor -efferent- neuron: efferent neurons are those that drive the response elaborated by the CNS -in the form of a nervous impulse- towards the effectors
3. Sensory -afferent- neuron: conducts information captured by receptors at the periphery to the CNS.
4. Oligodendrocyte: cells capable of providing a protective covering to the neuronal axons that make up the nerves, in addition to constituting the support for these structures.
5. Microglia: a type of glial cell with immunological and protective function, which has within its functions the phagocytosis of foreign and potentially harmful elements.
6. Effector: structure capable of receiving an efferent nervous impulse and carrying out a specific action, such as movement in the muscles or the secretion of hormones in the glands.
7. Ganglion: it is the set of neuronal bodies (soma) that are outside the CNS, constituting intermediate points of the path of a nerve, with the function of linking sensitive neuronal axons.
8. Ependymal cells: specialized cells of the glia that line the inside of the cerebral ventricles and the spinal cord duct and produce cerebrospinal fluid.
