Document Summary
Introduction: texting while driving. my position on this thing is it should be legal; good reasons to support it!! Not necessarily have to focus on all aspects of the reasons for the topic; focus on something and pursue it ! 100 billion cells with 160 trilion connections among them, Much smaller than neurons, but 10 times more numberous that neurons. Essential for myelinations of neurons, blood-brain barrier, repair , removal of debris, etc. Myelinization creates insulation of current on the neurons; and also helps speed neural impulses. Spaces b/w myelin sheath on the neurons are called. Cell body function is to figure out if it has enough message to create a new message and process an action potential at the action potential. A neural message; a brief shift in a neurons electrical charge that travels along an axon. Axon can be considered as a hose; pipe.
