Answer:

A neuron receives stimuli consisting of the response of  thousands of neurons. Synapse is the signals entering the neuron  via junctions called. The role of  the synapses are to modulate the signal strength and  determine the input signal is either excitatory,  promoting the neuron to fire, or inhibitory, tending to  prevent the neuron from firing. At the axon hillock the  neuron integrates the inputs and if this total is excitatory  then the neuron fires. Although this brief description  leaves out much of the complexity, it is still remarkable  that out of this web of electrochemical firing units,  emerges our very conscious.

Why is redi's experiment a good example of a controlled experiment
Step2247 [10]
A controlled experiment is when the experimenter can change one variable in the experiment and completely change the results.

Redi experiment involved a closed jar with rotting meat on the inside. He waited for a few days and found no new forms of life in the jar.
He then did the same experiment, but this time he took the lid off the jar. After those few days he found there were maggots in the rotting meat from flies.

This is a great example of a controlled experiment, because he only had to change one variable to completely change the results. In this case that variable was just removing the lid from the jar.

Redi was trying to prove spontaneous generation with his experiment. Although, it failed.

Spontaneous generation: When life forms from non-livings.

Redi disproved spontaneous generation, but proved biogenesis.

Biogenesis: When life comes from other living beings.

He proved biogenesis because the flies had reproduced when the jar was opened.

What is Tom Regan’s position about the use of animals in research and agriculture?
Elena L [17]
Tom Regan's position about the use of animals in research and agriculture is that animals should never be used for medical research or commercial <span>agriculture. 
Tom Regan was a famous American philosopher who was mostly interested in animal rights. He believed that animals shouldn't be put through any testing or experiments because we don't have their consent to do that. He believed it was unethical to do that.
