Answer:

The structure of a Neuron: <u>Soma/cell body</u> contains nucleus and organelles; <u>dendrites</u> receives nerve impulses and conducts it towards cell body whereas <u>axon </u>conducts nerve impulses away from the body.

Explanation:

A neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. A neuron has three main structural components namely, soma, one axon, and many dendrites.  

Soma is the metabolic center of the neuron and does not participate in conduction of nerve impulse. Many small extensions arise from the soma and are called dendrites. The function of dendrites is to carry the nerve impulse from axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron towards soma.

One large extension of soma is axon that carries the nerve impulse from soma to the axon terminals.

Devise an experiment that tests the effects of changing salt concentrations on regeneration of brain cells in Alzheimer’s patien
Makovka662 [10]

Experiment that tests the effects of changing salt concentrations on regeneration of brain cells in Alzheimer’s patients.

Explanation:

Experiments are conducted on brain cells by first growing human embryonic stem cells in a Petri dish and then converting them to brain cells. later the Alzheimer’s disease was genetically engineered into those nerve cells through gene mutation.

When these cells are exposed to varying concentrations of salt solution, the cells with shrink or swell according to the concentration due to cellular osmosis.

The cells will undergo chemical changes due to this. The regeneration probabilities of nerve cells affected by Alzheimer’s disease can be studied by such experiments.
