Chapter 15, Problem 3TYC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The consequence of transection of pyramids of the anterior side of the medulla oblongata and the gracile and cuneate fasciculi on the posterior side.
Introduction:
The nervous system maintains the coordination by the means of electrical and chemical signals that are transferred from one nerve cell to another nerve cell. The nervous system is majorly divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Nerve cell is the functional unit of the nervous system.

Let’s examine a neural pathway that involved three (3) neurons in sequence: one propagates an action potential from threshold stimulus of receptor to spinal cord; second propagates action potential superiorly to brain stem; and third propagates action potential from brain stem to part of cerebral cortex involved in perceiving the stimulus. Which of the following is correct classification of these neurons:
a. all three are presynaptic
b. first is presynaptic, other two are postsynaptic
c. first and second are presynaptic, third is postsynaptic
d. first and second are presynaptic, second and third are postsynaptic
e. all three are postsynaptic
The thoracic spinal cord has the smallest dorsal horn area because:
a.
the trunk is the most innervated area of the body and therefore there are more projections into the dorsal horn there.
b.
the trunk is the least innervated area of the body and therefore there are fewer projections into the dorsal horn there.
c.
most of the descending upper motor neurons have already entered the ventral horn.
d.
There are many motor neurons to control the small muscles around the spine.
When expert pianists listen to familiar, well-practiced music, they imagine the finger movements, and the finger area of their motor cortex becomes active, even if they are not moving their fingers (Haueisen & Knösche, 2001). If we regard those neurons as another kind of mirror neuron, what do these results imply about the origin of mirror neurons?

- We regularly make conscious decisions to make specific muscular movements. For example, when using the touch interface of your phone, you make a conscious effort to scroll up and down the screen using your finger. In contrast, there are many muscular movements that cannot be controlled voluntarily. For example, you cannot make your heart stop by thinking about it. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the parts of the nervous system that are involved in voluntary and involuntary actions, respectively? Select one: a. Motor neurons of the somatic nervous system and motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system b. Motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system and sensory neurons of the somatic nervous system c.

- Watch this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/braindevel) to examine the development of the brain, starting with the neural tube. As the anterior end of the neural tube develops, it enlarges into the primary vesicles that establish the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Those structures continue to develop throughout the rest of embryonic development and into adolescence. They are the basis of the structure of the fully developed adult brain. How would you describe the difference in the relative sizes of the three regions of the brain when comparing the early (25th embryonic day) brain and the adult brain?arrow_forwardSensory neurons transmit information towards the central nervous system.

CSF flows out of those cavities into the (C) ventricular space, which sits deep to the dura mater and is held open by strands of tissue called arachnoid (D) villi . This space surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and carries waste from the CNS to the circulatory system. After circulating around the brain and spinal cord, CSF drains back into the circulatory system in spaces called (E) subarachnoid space .arrow_forwardIn some reptiles, the two layers of dura mater fuse together in the brain.
