Answer: increases the speed of impulse transmission


Explanation: The advantage of having special sensory organs confined to the head region is that it can help us process the impulses into information faster. A lower risk of damage due to the short distance of the nerves is also an advantage of having sensor organs near the head region. However if one gets a head injury it can be dangerous since the injury may damage the sensory organs, and can take a long period of time to fully recover.

The answer to this question would be: rapid impulse transmission. 

By having organ near the head, the brain can process the information faster because the length of the nerve that carries the impulse from organ would be much shorter. The nerve also at lower risk of damage since it was shorter.
But it makes the head very important and damage to the head can cause much more problem than any part of the body.

Answer:

False.

Explanation:  

Neurotransmitter release occurs from the nervous terminal or varicosities in the neuronal axon. When an action potential reaches the nervous terminal, the neurotransmitter is released by exocytose. The molecule binds to its receptor in the postsynaptic neuron, triggering an answer. As long as the signal molecule is in the synaptic space, it keeps linking to its receptor and causing a postsynaptic response. To stop this process the neurotransmitter must be taken out from the synaptic space. There are two mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter can be eliminated:

• Enzymatic degradation/deactivation: There are specific enzymes in the synaptic space, which are in charge of inactivating the neurotransmitter by breaking or degrading it. The enzyme acetylcholinesterase prevents ACh from continuing to stimulate contraction.

• Reuptake: Receptors located in the presynaptic membrane can capture de molecule to store it back in new vesicles for posterior use. These transporters are active transport proteins that easily recognize the neurotransmitter.

Answer:

central nervous system

Explanation:

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord which carry out the function of processing information about the environment using the five senses and sends out your bodies response. such as if your finger touched the hot stove, that signal gets sent to your brain which sends a signal to your spinal cord telling your arm to pull away from the hot surface
