Answer to Question 1

Neurons have four regions: cell body - containing nucleus and other substances that sustain the neuron; dendrites - treelike features that extend from the cell body and contain receptors; axon - long, slender extension of the cell body responsible for conducting the action potential to the axon terminals; axon terminals - bulbous structures at the end of the axon where neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles.

Answer to Question 2

A

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
