Question
Chapter 27, Problem 16TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine: The mechanism that takes place in an embryo that explain how the nerve cells grow out from the spinal cord and form connections with the muscles they will eventually control.
Introduction:
The regulation of the movement of the muscles is brought about by the nervous system. It is the system that controls the entire body and all sorts of movements. It does so with the help of chemicals it secretes out which are called as the neurotransmitters. These chemicals are received by their receptors present on the cells of various organs and thereby they generate an appropriate response.
