Answer & explanation:

The gray matter found in the structures of the CNS is distributed along with the white matter in the medulla, brainstem, brain and cerebellum.

Inside the CNS, the white matter is coated by the gray matter between structures, especially in the brain and cerebellum. In this interior, the gray matter forms masses that make up the central nuclei (cerebellum) and base nuclei (brain).

Answer:

The correct answer is: neuronal cell bodies, neuropil, and glial cells.

Explanation:

Nervous tissue can easily be classified in grey and white matter. Both of these matters are located in the Central Nervous System.

These specific names are given by the color these structures have. White matter consists mostly of axons, and is white because the axons are surrounded by myelin, which is a structure made of fat.

<u>Grey matter </u><u>is composed of the bodies of neuronal cells, neuropil and glial cells. The glial cells found in the grey matter are astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.</u>

Answer:

The abiotic characteristics of an ecosystem that affects man includes: Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity.

Explanation:

In the ecosystem, man occupies the terrestrial habitat which is affected by the abiotic factors listed above.

Abiotic (non- living) factors determine the type of biotic (living) community that is found in an ecosystem. These factors include Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity, just to mention a few.

--> LAND SURFACE: This is responsible for the marked variation in the vegetation of a place. For example, a mountain in the tropics may have a rain forest vegetation at it's base and an afroalpine vegetation near its peak. The gradient of the slope affects the growth of organisms. A steep slope encourage fast run - off of water and therefore encourages erosion, which results in shallow and infertile soil. This in turn AFFECT man's farming activities as there would be little to no crop yield.

--> RAINFALL: Water is a very important abiotic factor that affects life. The main source of water to terrestrial habitat is rainfall. When rain falls, a greater percentage of it sinks into the soil while the rest run- off into water bodies. Water is absorbed by root hairs into the plant and used for photosynthesis to produce food. The absence of rainfall in the environment of man could lead to drought which AFFECTS man negatively.

--> RELATIVE HUMIDITY: This is a measure of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. It's usually high in hot wet regions. It affects the rate at which water evaporates from the body surfaces of organisms. Low relative humidity cause more water (sweat) to evaporate from body surfaces giving the human body a cooling effect. But in high relative humidity, the sweat cannot evaporate leaving the body feeling hot and sticky. This AFFECTS man as the body tries to cool off in a harder way by increasing rate of respiration and depth of blood circulation.
