Answer:

The neuron will not be able to transmit information to other cells.

Explanation:

The neuron can be known as the basic unit of the Nervous System, it is in charge of <em>activating and inhibiting the its electrical activity. </em>

It has 3 parts in charge of different functions regarding communication and integration:

  • Dendrites: the neuron's small extensions, in charge of<em> integrating the received information</em>. They are the neuron's input.
  • Axon: the neuron's <em>main extension</em>, the output which is bigger in size and is in charge of carrying out the action potential to other neurons.
  • Axon terminals: the neuron center in which the <em>metabolic activity</em> takes place.

In this case, Melanie has damaged the axon of the neuron so it will <em>not be able to transmit the information to other cells</em> since it's the neuron's output.

Stamina, strength and suppleness start to decline. Mobility becomes more of a challenge. Difficulties with fine motor skills that control coordination and dexterity. Skin loses elasticity, resulting in wrinkles.

What physical losses and declines occur in late adulthood?

Late adulthood is considered to extend from the 60 on. This is the last stage of physical change. The skin continues to lose elasticity, reaction time slows further, and muscle strength diminishes. Smell, taste, hearing, and vision, so sharp in our twenties, decline significantly.

What physical changes happen in older adulthood?

With age, bones tend to shrink in size and density, weakening them and making them more susceptible to fracture. You might even become a bit shorter. Muscles generally lose strength, endurance and flexibility — factors that can affect your coordination, stability and balance.

2 causas que provoquen la violencia de género ​
yKpoI14uk [10]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no se anexan opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

Las dos causas que provocan la violencia de género ​son las siguientes.

1.- Sentido de superioridad.

Esto significa que el hombre tiene la errónea creencia de que es un ser superior a la mujer por el simple hecho de ser físicamente más fuerte. En actitudes extremas esto conlleva al machismo, en el que el hombre trata de manera grosera y algunas veces humillante a la mujer porque la considera inferior.

2.- El conservador papel de la mujer.

Otra causa es la equivocada idea de que la mujer sólo sirve para tener hijos, criarlos y atender las necesidades de la casa. Este equivocado criterio ha imperado por años.

Los hombres que piensan así, no quieren que sus mujeres estudien, trabajen y progresen. Esta es una muestra de inseguridad de los hombres que se sienten presionados y temerosos de sus mujeres puedan ser más exitosas que ellos.
