Interneurons which are responsible for connecting one neuron to another. 

Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that are found in the peripheral system but function similarly to Oligodendrocytes which are found in the CNS. Motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to the target or effector organ i.e. muscle or skin, while Sensory neurons carry sensory messages from receptors to the CNS. The former typically have short dendrites to receive input and long axons to carry impulses while the latter tends to have longer dendrites and shorter axons.

What artery supplies the chin/jaw region of the head with blood?

Ede4ka [16]

The artery that supplies the chin and jaw region of the head with blood is the facial artery which is a branch of the external carotid artery. All blood from the head arises from the common carotid artery wherein it is divided to internal carotid artery (major blood supply of the brain along with the basilar artery on the posterior side) and external carotid artery (major blood supply of the head other than the brain).

The external carotid artery has 8 major branches (from inferior to superior): (1) superior thyroid artery, (2) ascending pharyngeal artery, (3) lingual artery, (4) facial artery, (5) occipital artery, (6) posterior auricular artery, (7) maxillary artery, and (6) superficial temporal artery.

Attached is a simplified photo of the branches of the external carotid artery.

Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.

Hopefully this helped and good luck!!!

The answer is C: The Neanderthals cared for the wounded and the elderly. The fact that the skeleton showed signs of broken bones that had healed indicated that the individual had been nurtured back to health after injury. The loss of teeth showed that the individual had lived to an old age.
