16. Neurons that process similar kinds of information are organized into what are called “neuron or neuronal pools.”Different ways of processing information occurs in these pools, depending on their function, and how they are organized. What are the two types of processing of information described below?___________________________________One neuron stimulates the next, which stimulates the next, and so on; the most clear cut example of this type of processing would be innate reflexes.___________________________________ This type of process can activate many pathways simultaneously, and is essential for high-level processes such as complex thinking and problem solving.

37) Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the body attacks its own nervous system and specifically affects the myelin. Its many symptoms include a person having a reduced sense of touch. Explain how the disease effects the conduction of information and what class of neurons appears to be affected to cause this symptom.
Match the neuron structure with its correct function or description. 1. Structure that receives stimuli and carries impulses to the cell body Grey matter 2. Part of the neuron that releases a chemical transmitter across the synapse + Myelin sheath 3. Cells that protect, nourish, and defend neurons + White matter 4. Structure that contains the neuron's nucleus and is the site of the neuron's cell metabolism : Synapse 5. The gap between two myelin sheaths that allows faster conduction of action potential 6. Lipid, fatty insulating layer around some axons that protects the neurons and speeds the impulses along the neuron + Dendrite 7. Unmyelinated neurons in the CNS + Axon 8. Structure that transmits impulses away from the cell body to another neuron, the muscles, or glands Axon terminal 9. Myelinated neurons in the CNS Cell body 10. The gap or junction between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle Node of Ranvier * Glial cell
