Answer to Question 1

Answer: Neural integration

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The organelles lie within the cytoplasm of the neuron. The soma organelles include:
 Ribosomes: produce proteins.
 Endoplasmic reticulum: rough ER contains the ribosomes (produces proteins). Smooth ER synthesizes lipids.
 Microtubules: responsible for transport around the interior of the neuron.
 Mitochondria: provide energy to the neuron.
 Lysosomes: degrade surplus cellular materials.
 Golgi apparatus: package the products of a secretory cell.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
