with receiving signals from other neurons or sense organs and ending with the transmission of a signal to another neuron. Explain how a pattern of neuron firing is related to behavior. Neurons are information- processing units in the central nervous system that receive and transmit information. It is made up of an axon‚ dendrites and a cell body. The nucleus and cytoplasm are contained in the cell body. The axon starts from the cell body‚ dividing into smaller branches and then ends at the nerve

Definition Reflex tests are simple physical tests of nervous system function. Purpose A reflex is a simple nerve circuit. A stimulus‚ such as a light tap with a rubber hammer‚ causes sensory neurons (nerve cells) to send signals to the spinal cord. There‚ the signals are conveyed both to the brainand to nerves that control muscles affected by the stimulus. Without any brain intervention‚ these muscles may respond to an appropriate stimulus by contracting. Reflex tests measure the presence and
