The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the location of non-myelinated neurons, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Non-myelinated Neurons**: - Non-myelinated neurons are those that lack a myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds the axons of many neurons, facilitating faster transmission of electrical impulses. 2. **Identify Nervous Systems**: - The nervous system can be broadly divided into two main parts: the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The PNS can further be divided into the Somatic Nervous System (SNS) and the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). 3. **Determine Where Myelin Sheath is Present**: - In the CNS, myelin sheaths are present, formed by glial cells (specifically oligodendrocytes). - In the PNS, myelin sheaths are formed by Schwann cells. 4. **Identify Non-myelinated Neurons**: - Non-myelinated neurons are primarily found in the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and the Somatic Nervous System (SNS). These systems contain both myelinated and non-myelinated fibers, but the question specifically asks about the presence of non-myelinated neurons. 5. **Evaluate the Options**: - **Option 1**: CNS and Somatic Nervous System - Incorrect, as CNS has myelinated neurons. - **Option 2**: CNS and Autonomic Nervous System - Incorrect, as CNS has myelinated neurons. - **Option 3**: CNS only - Incorrect, as CNS has myelinated neurons. - **Option 4**: Autonomic Nervous System and Somatic Nervous System - Correct, as both systems contain non-myelinated neurons. ### Final Answer: The non-myelinated neurons can be located in the **Autonomic Nervous System and Somatic Nervous System**.
