Answer 1

1. Axon

2. Electrons

3. A wave of reversal of the negative electrical potential inside the cell passes along the axon with ions moving in and out of the axon.

4. branch of nervous tissue was compressed, so electrical signals could no longer travel through her arm.

5. The brain sends signals to the blood vessels in the legs to dilate, so that there is increased blood flow. (This one seems the most accurate)

Answer 2

1. Dendrite

2. Electrons

3. A wave of reversal of the negative electrical potential inside the cell passes along the axon with ions moving in and out of the axon.  

4. branch of nervous tissue was compressed, so electrical signals could no longer travel through her arm.

5. The brain informs the heart to decrease it’s rate of pumping, in order to slow the flow of blood during exercise

Dendrite is a short, branched protoplasmic projection of a nerve cell which receives, process, and transmits information (signals) from other neurons towards the body of the cell or soma. The transmission of signals from one neuron to another is accomplished through chemical signals and electric impulses.

An electron is a subatomic particle that has a negative charge. Electrons are found in all atoms and functions as the main carrier of electric current in solids.  Electrons do not move across axons.
