Select the correct statement regarding synapses. The place where an axon terminal meets another cell is called a synapse. The sympathetic and parasympathetic are subdivisions of the ________. The action potential is a result of the movement of ions in and out of the cell. If you want to see what we offer before purchasing, we have a free membership with sample revision materials. Similarly, in the case of nerve impulse conduction, the neurons the stimulus must have a threshold value for causing the movement of ions across the length of axon (for conducting nerve impulse) by opening the voltage-gated ion channels. After neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic terminal, it diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptor proteins on the postsynaptic membrane. Stimulation of a ________.A) astrocytes B) microglia C) Schwann cells D) oligodendrocytes. frequency of action potentials This period occurs at the end of action potential and limits the speed at which nerve impulses can be generated in a nerve fibre. 2.) When the voltage has the required number of electron particles it conducts current. Advertisement Advertisement During this period, the membrane prepares itself for the conduction of the second stimulus after restoring the original resting state. The first channels to open are the sodium ion channels, which allow sodium ions to enter the cell. conduction states that the whole nerve cell must be stimulated for An action potential occurs when the nerve cell is in an excited state while conducting nerve impulses. sodium and potassium. A) Subthreshold stimulusB) Temporal summationC) Spatial ________ are found in the CNS and bind axons and blood vessels to each other. As instantaneous as the opening of sodium channels at threshold potential is their closing at the peak of action potential. diffusion of K+ out of the axon through gated ion channels. 2.) C) control the chemical environment around neurons, D) guide the migration of young neurons, synapse formation, and the membrane potential has been reestablished In what way does the interior surface of a cell membrane of a resting (nonconducting) neuron differ from the external environment? These are nerve impulses that jump from one node to another and are seen only in myelinated nerve fibres. The effect of a neurotransmitter on a postsynaptic cell depends mainly on the type of receptors that it activates, making it possible for a particular neurotransmitter to have different effects on various target cells. Chapter 11 Fundamentals of the Nervous System and - FreezingBlue In myelinated neurons, ion flows occur only at the nodes of Ranvier. and participates in the generation and conduction of action The

When information is delivered within the CNS simultaneously by different parts of the neural pathway, the process is called ________ processing. The frequencies of the alleles A and a are 0.60.60.6 and 0.40.40.4, respectively, in a particular plant population. b) association neuron job of the oligodendrocyte. True or False, Neurons in the CNS are organized into functional groups. c) the relapse of neurotransmitter molecules gives cells the property of being electrically coupled C) Spinal reflexes are an example of serial processing. In the polarized state, the axon membrane is more permeable to potassium ions instead of sodium ions and as a result, it causes rapid diffusion of potassium ions. Immediately after an action potential has peaked, which cellular gates open? C) The synaptic cleft prevents an impulse from being transmitted directly from one neuron to another. What is the role of acetylcholinesterase? A neuron that has as its primary function the job of connecting other neurons is called a(n) ________. Transmission of information in the nervous system, Active transport: the sodium-potassium pump, Evolution and development of the nervous system, Transmission in the neuron: Localized potential. True or False, Acetylcholine is not a biogenic amine. What is the resting potential of a neuron, and how is it maintained? True or False, In myelinated axons the voltage-regulated sodium channels are concentrated at the nodes of Ranvier. The neurons are said to be in resting phase when there is no nerve impulse. The signal is transmitted in the form of ions and therefore it is much faster than chemical synapses. ________ potentials are short-lived, local changes in membrane potential that can be either depolarized or hyperpolarized. First, diffusion of the neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft takes approximately 0.05 millisecond. 1.) 3.) C) The synaptic cleft prevents an impulse from being transmitted directly from one neuron to another. b) neurotransmitter receptors are located on the axons terminals of cells be generated until ________. The B) increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point. This helps in maintaining the membrane potential and thus favors faster nerve impulses. The PSP is a type of local potential, having properties similar to the electrical potential set up at sensory receptor neurons (see the section Transmission in the neuron: Localized potential). d. 2.22.22.2 liters. a stimulus? Tightly controlling membrane resting potential is critical for the transmission of nerve impulses. (See the figure.) Which of the following mechanisms is NOT included in the figure? Like the receptor potential, the PSP is a graded response, varying in amplitude according to the duration and amount of stimulation by neurotransmitters. The nodes of Ranvier A second nerve impulse cannot be generated until ________. resulting graded potential is called a(n) ________.A) excitatory potential. A second nerve impulse cannot be generated until ________. B) the impulse would spread bidirectionally. second nerve impulse CANNOT be generated until membrane potential has been reestablished 29 interior surface of a cell membrane of a resting (nonconducting) neuron differ from the external environment? The answer is 'the membrane potential has been reestablished' Ths occurs by pumping out sodium ions from the inside of the cell. Which of the following will occur when an excitatory postsynaptic Seeley's Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, Andrew Russo, Cinnamon VanPutte, Jennifer Regan, EXAM 2 Q's and A's from other persons test, three half-lives The box labeled D illustrates three mechanisms by which the effects of a neurotransmitter may be terminated. That part of the nervous system that is voluntary and conducts impulses from the CNS to the skeletal muscles is the ________ nervous system. B) Neurotransmitter receptors are located on the axons terminals of cells. Which of the following is not true of graded potentials? This change is called the postsynaptic potential, or PSP. Some receptors are ion channels that open or close when their molecular configuration is altered by the binding action of the neurotransmitter. Neuroglia that control the chemical environment around neurons by Due to this, a difference in electrical potential is generated across the membrane, known as nerve impulse or action potential. to another stimulus is the ________.A) depolarization, Strong stimuli cause the amplitude of action potentials generated to increase. This problem has been solved! This makes the process of nerve impulse faster as the nerve impulse does not travel the entire length of the axon ( this happens in case of continuous conduction). If a membrane depolarization does not reach the threshold level, an action potential will not happen. Which group of fibers spreads impulses at up to 1 meter per second? Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\)shows in greater detail how the sodium-potassium pump works. Calcium ions. Which of the following is not a chemical class of neurotransmitters? He pushes off the boards with a force of 9.0 N. What is his resulting acceleration? are found only on myelinated, peripheral neuron processes. Explain how and why an action potential occurs. (c) Find the minimum product of sums. A series of nerve impulses arriving in rapid succession at the axon terminal is accurately reproduced as a series in the postsynaptic cell because the quanta of neurotransmitter released by each impulse are inactivated as soon as they stimulate the receptor proteins. Write a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of americium-241. This series of activations, by propagating the action potential along the fibre with virtually no reduction in amplitude . The sequence of sodium activationsodium inactivationpotassium activation creates a nerve impulse that is brief in duration, lasting only a few milliseconds, and that travels down the nerve fibre like a wave, the membrane depolarizing in front of the current and repolarizing behind. True or False, During depolarization, the inside of the neuron's membrane becomes less negative. The membrane of the presynaptic terminal contains voltage-dependent calcium channels that open when the membrane is depolarized by a nerve impulse, allowing Ca2+ to diffuse into the terminal along its concentration gradient. association neuron. other types of channels and can fire multiple action potentials to In order a nerve impulse to be generated there needs to be a stimulus. Select the correct statement regarding synapses. This is because a larger axon diminishes the ion-leakage out of the axon. Owning to the importance of this discovery, he was awarded Noble Prize in 1932. Because this hyperpolarization draws the membrane potential farther from the threshold, making it more difficult to generate a nerve impulse, it is called an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP). a) destroy ACh a brief period after its release by the axon endings the inferior is ____ negatively charged and contains less sodium 30 What is the role of acetylcholinesterase? In what way does the interior surface of a cell membrane of a resting (nonconducting) . Axon terminals release neurotransmitters. Ca2+ is known to be sequestered by certain organelles within the terminal, including the endoplasmic reticulum. As is stated above, the lipid bilayer of the neuronal membrane tends to repel electrically charged, hydrated ions, making virtually impossible the movement across the membrane that is necessary for the generation of nerve impulses. B) large nerve fibers A neuronal circuit that concentrates or directs a large number of incoming impulses to a rather small number of neurons is called a(n) ________.
