Answer: D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

Explanation:

Synaptic pruning is a natural process between early childhood and adulthood which occurs in the brain. The brain removes the extra synapses during synaptic pruning. Synapses are brain structures that allow the neurons to transmit to another neuron an electrical or chemical signal.  

Synaptic pruning is thought to help the brain transition from adolescence, when it can quickly learn and make new connections, to adulthood, when it is much more stable in its structure, but can concentrate on a single question for longer and conduct more complex thinking processes. Synaptic pruning make brain more adaptive to the external environment in early ages.

Hence, the correct option is D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

The autonomic nervous system _____.
Mademuasel [1]

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system _____.

A. controls involuntary actions

The nervous system is subdivided into; the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, within the vertebral column; and the peripheral nervous system, which includes nerves that branch into the rest of the body from the brain and spinal cord. Nervous tissue responds to electrical impulses, allowing for communication between different regions of the body.

The peripheral nervous system is further divided into the somatic nervous system responsible for carrying out sensory and motor information between the peripheral nervous system- including sensory organs like the eyes; and central nervous system; and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which regulates involuntary bodily functions like heartbeat, breathing and blood flow. The ANS is mainly acts unconsciously and affects smooth muscle and internal organs. It is related to homeostasis- where the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc.

Describe the path of an impulse associated with lifting your arm. What part of the brain starts this impulse?
timama [110]
Sensory nerves that are part of the peripheral nervous see your arm. Nerve impulses are brought to the brain by interneurons and the brain processes the information and you decide to lift your arm. Nerve impulses from the brain travel again through internuerons and into motor nerves that control the movement of your arm.
