Sometimes the reflex response is diminished or absent- a phenomenon termed hyporeflexia. Do you think hyporeflexia would be caus

Answer:

The functions of the skeletal muscles are affected by the CNS via the two sets of neurons, that is, lower motor neuron and upper motor neurons. The PNS comprises sensory neurons and motor neurons. The lower motor neuron is monitored by the upper motor neuron.  

Hyporeflexia occurs because of the dysfunction of the lower motor neuron or its lesion. The lower motor neurons refer to the neurons, which innervate the skeletal muscles directly. Destruction to the central nervous system leads to hyper reflexes and destruction to the peripheral nervous system results in hyporeflexia.

Answer:

1) Skull and Vertebral column

2) Meninges

3) Cerebrospinal fluid.

Explanation:

Central Nervous system:

CNS is the abbreviation of Central Nervous system. CNS controls the whole body functions so it is the most important component of the body. CNS consist of two parts 1) Brain and 2) Spinal cord

Both of these organs are very important and hence need to be protected. Nature provided these organs with certain protective mechanisms these includes

1) Skull and Vertebral column:

Skull is present around brain and vertebral column is present around spinal cord. These structure provides mechanical support to soft parts of CNS.

2) Meninges:

These are the membranes that provide antiseptic environment to the brain and hence protect it from microbes and other harmful substances.

3) Cerebrospinal fluid:

This fluid is present inside meninges which nourishes the brain and protect it from mechanical stresses.
