The correct answer is: B. spinal cord  

The nervous system can be divided into two subdivisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The spinal cord and the brain are part of the CNS, whereas the PNS consists of the nerves that radiate from the CNS to all parts of the body. The PNS includes all neurons that sense and transmit information to the CNS.

The CNS controls thinking processes, movements, and registers the sensations throughout our body. Moreover, the PNS acts to transmit information from the CNS to all parts of the body.

The PNS is in turn divided into two main parts:

1-The Autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary functions and glands. The parasympathetic nervous system is one division of the ANS that controls visceral organs such as glands.

2- Somatic nervous system (SNS), which regulates voluntary muscle movement and transmits information from eyes, ears, and skin to the CNS.

Which term best describes the difference in colors of the birds below?
NeX [460]

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) genetic variation</em></u>

Explanation:

Genetic variation can be described as the differences present in the genetic material i.e DNA of organisms present in a population. Genetic diversity allows organisms of a species to better adapt to an environment. A population in which the genetic variability is scarce might become wiped out by a disease or an invading predator.

As the birds show different variations hence the term that best described them is genetic variation.

mojhsa [17]

Answer: 2-3

Explanation:

A biological neural network or neural circuit is a set of ordered synaptic connections that occur as a result of the binding of neurons to others in their corresponding regions following neural migration. At birth, a baby has an average of 100 billion neurons, but few neural connections. These will multiply as the child grows, through environmental, sensory, cognitive and movement stimulation. <u>Stimulating mobility and physical activity also has a positive effect on cognitive functioning by modifying the activity of certain brain areas</u>. Physical exercise has beneficial effects on brain function, such as promoting neuroplasticity and increasing learning and memory performance, which may be due to increased expression of various neural growth factors.

<u>Finally, environmental stimulation is basic for harmonious brain development and for laying the neurophysiological foundations of our children's future brains. </u>Thus, there are many mechanisms that nature has at its disposal to prevent babies from being left helpless.  All of them favour their relationship with adults and thus their neurons, at a time of maximum growth of their extensions, can form the brain circuits that allow the acquisitions that make them advance in their neurodevelopment. If babies do not receive from their adults sufficient affection and attention, brain growth will be much less and their neurodevelopment will inevitably be delayed, because what makes the brain grow and change is precisely the creation of new circuits as it learns new things, and those who can learn most are the most experienced. By aboyt 2-3 months is when circuits of the brain begin to be created.
