State the functions of the following :
(a) Synapse
(b) Association neuron
(c) Medullary sheath
(d) Medulla oblongata
(e) Cerebellum
(f) Cerebrospinal fluid.
(a)Synapse: It is a gap between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrites of the adjacent neuron. It transmits nerve impulse from one neuron to another neuron.
(b)Association Neuron: It interconnects sensory and motor neurons.
(c) Medullary sheath: It provides insulation and prevents mixing of impulses in the adjacent axons.
(d)Medulla Oblongata: It controls activities of internal organs such as peristalsis, breathing and many other involuntary actions.
(e)Cerebellum: It maintains the balance of the body and coordinates muscular activity.
(f)Cerebrospinal Fluid: It acts like a cushion and protects the brain from shocks.
