She was suggested to increase calcium phosphate and reduce soda content because acidic soda dissolves the calcium phosphate of the teeth.

Explanation:

Calcium phosphate is an important mineral which keeps the teeth firm and strong. If calcium phosphate is not present in adequate quantity it will cause the teeth to become soft and easy for cavities to get formed.

Calcium phosphate naturally repairs the teeth by remineralization process.

Soda contains phosphoric and citric acids which dissolve the protective layer of calcium phosphate of the teeth and makes it brittle causing increased cavities.

The synapse is typically located between the _____ of the first (sending) neuron and the _____ of the second (receiving) neuron.
uysha [10]

Answer:

axon; dendrite

Explanation:

A neuron has three main parts. These are axons, dendrites, and a cell body. Synapse is the site of communication between two neurons. The first neuron of a synapse is called the presynaptic neuron (sending neuron) while the second one is called the postsynaptic neuron (receiving). The axon of the presynaptic neuron and the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron communicate with each other at the synapse as the axon of the first neuron delivers the nerve impulse away from the cell body.

Dendrites function as the receiving or input portions of a neuron. The plasma membranes of dendrites have numerous receptor sites for binding chemical messengers from the presynaptic neuron.
