The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment.
• Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. All cells of the nervous system are comprised of neurons. Neurons contain nerve processes which are "finger-like" projections that extend from the nerve cell body. The nerve processes consist of axons and dendrites which are able to conduct and transmit signals.
• The brain is the control center of the body. One of these furrows, the medial longitudinal fissure, divides the brain into left and right hemispheres. Covering the brain is a protective layer of connective tissue known as the meninges.
• The spinal cord runs down the center of the protective spinal column extending from the neck to the lower back. Spinal cord nerves transmit information from body organs and external stimuli to the brain and send information from the brain to other areas of the body.
Most populations changed from mostly light colored to mostly dark colored in the 1800s. This relates to microevolution.
In the United States the direction the continental polar air mass move South toward the Gulf of Mexico to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Air masses are large bodies of air moving horizontally in a very uniform way. Continental polar air mass is an air mass that forms near the poles. It originates in northern Canada and Alaska and move south then East.
The continental polar masses are the causes for the severe cold weather in the South during the cold months. Maritime tropical mass are warm and have high moisture content. During winter it comes in contact with the continental polar mass hence getting stabilized.
