Are neuroglia or neuron likely to give rise to tumor why?

Neuroglia are more likely to give rise to tumors, as they have the capacity to divide and undergo abnormal growth. Neurons, on the other hand, are post-mitotic cells and do not typically give rise to tumors. Tumors arising from neuroglia are known as gliomas.


Would the loss of striatal neurons result in higher or lower GABA levels?

The loss of striatal neurons would likely lead to lower GABA levels. Striatal neurons are a major source of GABA in the brain, so their loss would reduce the overall amount of GABA being produced in that region. This could disrupt the balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain.


Who carries messages from the sense organs to the central nervous system?

other nerve cells... The brain is made up of nerve cells (also called neurons). There are neurons both in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. The communication between neurons occurs with release of neurotransmitters (chemicals that affect the surface of neurons). The release of neurotransmitters occurs when an electrical impulse travels down the neuron and causes the neuron to "fire" off neurotransmitter. This electrical impulse is called an "action potential." The release of neurotransmitter can have one of two possible effects on the "receiving" neuron, depending on which neurotransmitter binds with which neuron. It can make the receiving neuron either more likely to fire (excitatory) or less likely to fire (inhibitory). The result of this activity in billions of neurons creates quite a symphony, including everything we call thought.


What tissue is least likely to regenerate itself?

Nervous tissue, specifically neurons, are least likely to regenerate themselves due to their limited ability to divide and replace damaged cells. Injuries to the brain and spinal cord often result in permanent damage because neurons have a low capacity for regeneration compared to other tissues in the body.


What tissue looks like a tree branch with spotty cells?

The tissue that looks like a tree branch with spotty cells is nervous tissue. Nervous tissue consists of neurons (nerve cells) interconnected in a branching network resembling tree branches. The "spotty" appearance is likely referring to the cell bodies (soma) of neurons located along these interconnected branches.

Which of these cells is likely to NOT continue to divide?

A nerve cell is likely to not continue to divide.


The nervous system cells or neurons do not contain centrioles These neurons most likely could not what?

Neurons lacking centrioles are unlikely to be able to undergo cell division. Centrioles are important for organizing the cell's cytoskeleton during mitosis, and their absence could hinder cell division in neurons.

What part of nervous system worked when you are pricked by a needle?

This is a reflex that the peripheral nervous system was involved in. The prick was noted by sensory neurons which carried information into the spinal cord and synapsed with motor neurons which made you react, most likely by pulling away.

If you double the input of a function and it results in half the output and if you triple the input and it results in a third of the output what can be guessed about the function?

~the function is most likely inversely proportional. ~more input results in less output.

A group of axons in the CNS is most likely referring to the tracts of neurons that are found in the spinal cord.
