Answer:

A. motor neurons; peripheral nervous system

Explanation:

Motor neurons carry signals from the peripheral nervous system to the muscles. This causes the muscles to either relax or contract. Note that the peripheral nervous system consists of neurons and parts of neurons outside of the central nervous system which consists of the brain and spinal cord. When signals are transmitted between the motor neurons and peripheral nervous system, this causes a response to stimulus in the muscles which would either, relax or contract.

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option A

MOTOR NEURONS; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

He tells his students that MOTOR NEURONS in the PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM help coordinate contraction of certain muscles and relaxation of others.

Explanation: The Nervous system is divided into

- The central nervous system

- The peripheral nervous system.

The peripheral nervous system is a neurological bridge between

The environment and the central nervous system (the sensory system)

The central nervous system and the effectors (the motor system)

The peripheral nervous system is divided into

The somatic and

The autonomic nervous system.... Which is divided into;

The parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system.

The two works in opposition/ contrast to ensure the relaxation and the contraction of certain muscles respectively.

Skeletal muscles contract and relax to mechanically move the body. Messages from the sympathetic nervous system cause these muscle contractions,when the nervous system signal is no longer present, the chemical process reverses, and the muscle fibers rearrange again and the muscle relaxes,a process that is brought about by the parasympathetic stimulation of the peripheral nervous system.

4 a muscle cramp is a sudden, painful contraction of a muscle, during which movement is difficult. What is happening at the cell
stiks02 [169]

In the case of the muscular cramps, the muscle contraction starts with the generation of the action potentials from the brain. The action potential causes the release of the calcium ions movement out of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (storage site of calcium). The calcium released in this process causes the contraction of the myofibrils with the help of the ATP molecules. Meanwhile, the calcium is pumped back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum through the fast calcium pumps.  

The contraction of one muscle cell generate the action potential in neighboring muscle cells. When the generation of the action potential is stopped, the sarcoplasmic reticulum relaxes as well as the muscle is relaxed. The fast calcium pump is powered by a sodium gradient, and the calcium influx is a result of fast outflux of the sodium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

In case, the sodium ion is less, the calcium pumps cannot be powered, the calcium ion would remain in myofibril, as a result, the muscle would be contracted for a longer time and this result in cramps. The muscle in this case, would be relaxed by the ATP instead of sodium gradient. So, it can be concluded that the muscle cramps are caused when the muscles are not able to relax properly.
