  • Adjusts the positions of the head, the neck, and the trunk
  • Perform respiratory movements
  • Stabilize or position parts of the appendicular skeleton
  • All of the above

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The axial skeleton is the group of bones which forms the centre of the skeletal system. The central portion of the skeletal system includes bones of the skull, bones associated with the skull, the thorax, and the vertebral column (spinal cord).

There are 80 axial skeletal bones out of which 22 bones are present in the skull, 7 attached to the skull, 25 in a thoracic cage and 26 in the vertebral column.

The axial skeleton help maintains the position of the appendicular skeleton, maintain the posture of the body by maintaining the posture of the neck, head and trunk and also help in the respiratory movements.

Thus, all of the above is correct.

The concentration of ions in the chemical environment surrounding the neurons must be tightly regulated for neurons to function
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

B) astrocytes

Explanation:

Cells other than neurons that play an important role in the normal functioning of nervous system are called Neuroglia or glial cells.

Satellite cells, astrocytes, schwann cells and oligodendrocytes are all examples of glial cells.

⇒Satellite cells provide protection and nutrition to cells in peripheral nervous system ( peripheral nerves and ganglia).

⇒<em><u>Astrocytes</u></em> play an important role in central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). They provide protection to neurons, scavenge ions, form the blood-brain barrier and also maintain extracellular environment suitable for neuronal functioning.

⇒Schwann cells are found in the peripheral nervous system and myelinate the axons of neurons.

⇒Oligodendrocytes are found in central nervous system and produce myelin sheath which myelinates (insulates) axons  of neurons. Their function is similar to schwann cells but in the central nervous system.

From the above discussion it is clear that the answer is B) Astrocytes as these maintain a suitable chemical environment for the neurons.
