Rosemary is added to dog food because it is an antioxidant and acts as a natural food preservative. Rosemary is a very common ingredient in dog food. We found rosemary or rosemary extract is in about 36% of all dog foods. It is much more common in dry foods-rosemary is present in 57% of all dry foods-most likely due to the fact that it is a natural preservative.
Interneurons connect sensory and motor neurons and interpret the impulse. Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands. 1  Draw and label the structure of a typical nerve cell. 2  Explain how an impulse moves along a neural pathway.
Synapses are tiny gaps between neurons, where messages move from one neuron to another as chemical or electrical signals. The brain begins as a small group of cells in the outer layer of a developing embryo. As the cells grow and differentiate, neurons travel from a central birthplace to their final destination. Chemical signals from other cells guide neurons in forming various brain structures. Neighboring neurons make connections with each other and with distant nerve cells (via axons) to form brain circuits. These circuits control specific body functions such as sleep and speech.
