Motor pathways as you can see also consist of a chain of two or three neurons. The muscle, due to control exerted by the brain, functions normally. As you can see, most neuron cell bodies are located within the brain or spinal cord. Processes or extensions of these neuron cell bodies pass through nerves. A variety of receptors can be found in tissue slides depending on location.
Nerves link the nervous system to all peripheral tissues.
Any tissue slide may have a section that contains a nerve cut in cross or longitudinal section. Blood vessels and nerves often run together through tissues as they travel to body sites. If you see blood vessels, look nearby and you may find nerves. The McGraw-Hill Companies. All rights reserved.
