SHORT ANSWER: 1. Identify the two functional divisions of the peripheral nervous system, and cite their primary functions. 2. Identify the two components of the efferent divisions of the PNS 3. What would be the effect of damage to the afferent division of the PNS? 4. Classify neurons according to their structure and function 5. Are unipolar neurons in a tissue sample more likely to function as sensory neurons or motor neurons? 6. Which type of neuroglia would occur in larger-than-normal numbers in the brain tissues of a person with a CNS infection? 7. What is the relationship between myelin and the propagation speed of action potentials 8. Which of the following axons is myelinated: one that propagates action potential at 50 meters per second, or one that carries them at one meter per second? 9. Which two types of neuroglia insulate neuron cell bodies and axons in the PNS from their surroundings? 10. Why can’t most neurons in the CNS be replaced when they are lost to injury or disease 11.

As a result, he is exhibiting tachycardia, an abnormally fast heart rate. Which ion is involved, and how does a change in its concentration cause Harry’s symptoms? 13. In multiple sclerosis, there is intermittent and progressive damage to the myelin sheath of peripheral nerves. This results in poor motor control of the affected area.
