Which of the following depicts the soma of a neuron?

E.

Answer: D

Explanation:

The soma is the cell body of the neuron (D). The soma is the site of neuron metabolism and protein synthesis.

The dendrites of the neuron (A) receive incoming action potential signals. The axon (B) sends the action potential
outward from the soma to the axon terminal (C). Vesicles of neurotransmitter are released from the axon terminal to
the dendrites of other nearby neurons. Neurons can have numerous dendrites, but will only have one soma and one
axon.

Which brain structure is responsible for the body's balance and coordination?

a) Thalamus
b) Medulla oblongata
c) Cerebellum
 d) Cerebrum

Correct answer:

Cerebellum

Explanation:

The cerebellum is responsible for maintaining balance and coordination.

The medulla oblongata is responsible for maintaining subconscious body functions, such as heart rate and breathing.
The cerebrum is responsible for higher level functions such as movement and memory. The thalamus mediates survival
instincts, including hunger, thirst, and sexual instinct.

1 Where on the human body can you find a deltoid muscle?

From Quiz: I Want Muscles (click to play it). Question by author Spaudrey.

Answer: In your shoulder

The deltoid creates the curved, circular shape of your shoulder; there are two, one for each shoulder. The name
deltoid was developed from the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, Delta, which is triangle shaped. When
viewing the full deltoid muscle, it does resemble a triangle. Deltoid muscles, as you would expect, are the
primary muscle for shoulder movement.

2 What types of muscle do you not control?

From Quiz: The Muscular System (click to play it). Question by author foil7.

Answer: Involuntary Muscles

Involuntary muscles are muscles that work on their own, such as your heart and the muscles in your organs.
Their actions are controlled by the brain sending nerve messages. Involuntary muscles carry out a lot of the
bodily functions.

Voluntary: Muscles that are under your conscious control

Tendon: A strong connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone

Triceps: Any of several muscles having three points of attachment at one end

Striated muscle: The skeletal muscle tissue

Skeletal: Attached to bones on your skeleton

Cardiac muscle: A tissue that's found only in your heart

Smooth muscle: The inside of many internal organs such as stomach and blood vessels

Biceps: Is any muscle with three heads except the one that extends the forearm
The three types of muscular tissues which are voluntary and which are involuntary: The skeletal is voluntary the
smooth is involuntary and the cardiac muscle is involuntary

Which tire quickly or react quickly: The skeletal muscle reacts quickly and tires quickly the smooth muscle doesn't react
quickly and doesn't tire quickly the cardiac muscle reacts quickly but Doesn't tire quickly

Three types of muscular tissue: Smooth muscle skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle
