Which of the following best describes a neuronal pool in the organization of the nervous system?
A
A single neuron that transmits signals directly to muscles
B
A collection of glial cells that support neuronal function
C
A group of interconnected neurons that process and integrate information from multiple sources
D
A bundle of axons forming a nerve in the peripheral nervous system
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'neuronal pool' within the context of the nervous system's organization. It refers to a functional group rather than a single cell or structural component.
Recall that neurons communicate with each other to process and integrate information, which is essential for complex nervous system functions.
Identify that a neuronal pool consists of multiple neurons interconnected to work together, rather than isolated neurons or supporting cells like glial cells.
Differentiate between neuronal pools and other nervous system components such as single neurons, glial cells, or bundles of axons (nerves).
Conclude that the best description of a neuronal pool is 'a group of interconnected neurons that process and integrate information from multiple sources.'
