<span>1) A - 4
A type of neuron that sends information away from the central nervous system to muscles or glands - Efferent neuron. The main characteristic for this type of neuron is that its axon conducts motor impulses outwards right from the brain (possibly spinal) cord.
<span>2)  B-7

A type of neuron that sends information from the sensory receptors toward the central nervous system is afferent neuron. This type of neuron is also known as sensory neurons. Its function is to convert a particular stimulus, through the receptors, in other words - to process the sensory transduction.
3) C-1

Long fibers that carry signals away from the cell body are called axon. The main function of axon is to conduct electrical impulses outwards from the neuron's cell body. Keep in mind that each nerve cell has one axon, and its dimensions can be over a foot long. As a result of transmitting signals from axon nerve, nerve cells communicate with each other.
<span> 4) D-5

The fatty material surrounding some axons is called <span>myelin sheath. Myelin sheath plays one of the most important parts in functioning of the nervous system. It is a white fatty layer that is placed around the axon of some nerve cells and its function is to form an electrically insulating layer.

</span></span><span>5) E-2

Short, highly branched fibers that carry signals toward the cell body are called dendrites. They are projections of a neuron, to be more exact they are extensions of the cytoplasm of a neuron. They are needed to propagate the electrochemical stimulation which the cell body received from some neural cells.</span>

<span>6) F-8

Gaps in the myelin sheath are called Node of Ranvier. They are simply known as myelin-sheath gaps, and they are spaces between the myelin coating on the neuron's axon. What about their function: they serve to support the rapid conduction of nerve impulses.
</span><span>
7) G-3

The space between two cells is called synaptic cleft. Sometimes it is called synaptic gap because it is actually a minute gap between presynaptic cell and postsynaptic cell that takes place during a chemical synapse.  When a synapse is formed, nerve impulse is transmitted.
</span>
<span>8) H-10

A type of neuron that sends information between sensory and motor neurons is called <span>interneuron. Interneuron is responsible for communication between sensory or motor neurons and the CNS. The center of their functioning is placed in reflexes (neuronal oscillations).
</span></span>
<span>9)  I-9

The reversal of the electrical potential in the plasma membrane of a neuron is called action potential. It is a process of a short-term change that occurs in the electrical potential on the surface of a cell, as a response to stimulation. Eventually it leads to the transmission of a nerve impulse that moves across the cell membrane.

10) J-6 </span><span>
A type of chemical released from the tip of an axon into the synaptic cleft when a nerve impulse arrives is <span>neurotransmitter. It is also known as chemical messengers, that are responsible for enabling neurotransmission. Their main function is to transfer signals across a chemical synapse from one nerve cell to another one.</span></span></span></span>

nika2105 [10]
The most reasonable answer i think would be option b: building pedestrian-friendly walkways. 
Why? because if they would have to purchase bikes for each household, that would be too expensive. 
I think option 3 does not even go in these categories. 
And option 4: think not all senior citizens go to the gym. They usually might just walk around the neighborhood once or twice, and go to bed, because their legs hurt. 
That is why i think option 2 fits best here. 
Hope i helped!

Which of the following are not keys to successful eating?
MakcuM [25]

<u>Answer:</u>

All are keys to successful eating.

Option: (A)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A successful eating is supposed to be containing all the nutrients needed to your body in right proportion.
  • A constant and continuous routine of having the same veggie is not good, so time and often you need to have the varieties of veggies along with the limited amount of protein.
  • Try avoiding oily and extreme spicy food on your diet because it is not healthy for our body.
  • As most of the people consume the refined grains so having a whole grain in your meal is also very good for health.

Semmy [17]
When exercising you should take in deep breaths, to make sure you that you won't get chest pain. Believe in numbers when exercising. Do reps, for example squats do 15 next time do 25 the next do 30 then 45 and so on. start slow don't go to fast or your muscles will tighten. relax and after do some stretching. Drink water when exercising take little breaks during those times you may drink water then get back into exercising. You also need to replenish, so eat a salad or eat chicken breast with brown rice and spinach. (Remember to cook the chicken breast though, there might be some good recipes with chicken breast to help you out) Hopefully this helped you in some ways.
