Answer:

If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ). If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol does, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic.

iren2701 [21]

The central nervous system is a wide network of neurons which transmits signal to each other through synapses. These are all electrochemical reactions that occur in the brain and the spinal cord.

There are three types of neurons according to their functions. The sensory neurons are responsible to carry all signals from the rest of the body to the brain. On the other hand, motor neurons carries signals from the brain to the outer parts of the body. The third type is called the associations nerves which connect signals between the sensory and motor neurons.
