Exercise: 1

The following document represents a nervous system structure:

Dendrites cytoplasm

Axon

Axon terminals

myelin

Node of ranvier
Cell body

1- Name the structure that is presented in the above document.

The above structure belongs to a multipolar neuron

2- Label it.

3- Classify its organelles into two groups.

Prolongations: Dendrites, axon terminals

Cell body: Nucleus, Cytoplasm

4- Identify it according to its structure.

 The above structure belongs to a multipolar neuron since its have multiple cytoplasmic
prolongations

Exercise: 2

The adjacent document represents three different neurons connected to different organs.

1- Identify the functional type of each neuron (1, 2 and 3). Neuron1: sensory messages

Neuron 2: inter neuron

Neuron 3: motor neuron

2- Determine the type of the action when we

walk.

Voluntary action

3- Name the brain part that controls the balance

of the action represented in the adjacent
document.

cerebellum

Exercise: 3

Consider the following document :

1- Name this document. A transverse section of a spinal cord

2- Annotate it. 1 white matter 2 gray matter 3 ventral root 4 spinal ganglion 5 dorsal root 6 nerve
cell

3- Indicate a difference between :

a) part (1) and part (2) the gray matter consists of shethless
of nerve fiber while white matter consists of myelin and nerve fibers

b) part (3) and part (5). Dorsal root contain sensory

fiber that transmits messages from cns to pns while the ventral root
contain motor neuron that transmits messages from pns to cns
Exercise: 4

The following document represents the

structure of a nerve:

Write a small paragraph that describes the structure of the nerve.

This following nerve structure is covered by a connective tissue sheath that covers the myelinated neuron and
unmyelinated neuron that are both covered with fascicle. Arteries and viens are found next to the fascicle.
