| T/F - Petit mal seizures found in children generally go away with age. | True - They generally do go away. |
| T/F - The RAS is comprised of specific pathways primarily in the limbic system. | This is false. The RAS is in the reticular formation. |
| T/F - Commissural fibers form the corpus striatum. | This is falase. Commissural fibers form commissures; the largest of which is the corpus callosum. |
| T/F - One disorder of the substantia nigra is Parkinson's disease. | True - Parkinson's disease can result. |
| T/F - The first obvious sign that the nervous system is forming in the embryo is the thickening of the surface ectoderm to form the neural plate. | This is false. The first obvious sign is the formation of the neural tube. |
| T/F - Projection fibers in the brain connect the right and left hemispheres. | his is false. The commissural fibers connect the right and left hemispheres. |
| T/F - Sorting of sensory information and relaying it to the appropriate cerebral sensory area occurs in the hypothalamus. | This is false. This occurs in the thalamus. |
| T/F - The limbic system acts as our emotional, or affective, brain. | True - our emotional brain. |
| T/F - The terms "fainting" and "syncope" describe the same thing. | True - both are a loss of consciousness. |
| T/F - The primary visual cortex contains a map of visual space. | true |
| T/F - The left cerebral hemisphere is usually dominant. | True - for the majority. |
| Period during which the neuron cannot respond to a second stimulus, no matter how strong. | absolute refractory period |
| Called a nerve impulse when transmitted. | action potential |
| The interior of the cell becomes less negative due to an influx of sodium ions. | depolarization |
| An exceptionally strong stimulus can trigger a response. | relative refractory period |
| The specific period during which potassium ions diffuse out of the neuron due to a change in membrane permeability. | repolarization |
| Stimulation of a postsynaptic neuron by many terminals at the same time. | spatial summation |
| An insufficient stimulus. | subhreshold stimulus |
| Numerous nerve impulses arriving at a synapse at closely timed intervals exert a cumulative effect. | temporal summation |

| T/F - Sensory neurons have long dendrites, while motor neurons have long axons. | True |
| T/F - A graded potential that is the result of a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two neurons is called a postsynaptic potential. | True - postsynaptic potential. |
| T/F - Strong stimuli cause the amplitude of action potentials generated to increase. | his is false. As stated in the all-or-none phenomenon, an action potential occurs either completely or it doesn't happen. |
| T/F - In myelinated axons the voltage-gated sodium channels are concentrated at the nodes of Ranvier. | True - concentrated at nodes of Ranvier. |
| T/F - A stimulus traveling toward a synapse appears to open calcium channels at the presynaptic end, which in turn promotes fusion of synaptic vesicles to the axonal membrane. | True |
| T/F - The two major classes of graded potentials are transmitter potentials and receptor potentials. | This is false. The two classes of graded potentials are generator potentials and post-synaptic potentials. |
| T/F - Saltatory conduction occurs because of the presence of salt (NaCl) around the neuron. | This is false. Saltatory conduction refers to the signal jumping from node to node along the axon. |
| T/F - The all-or-non phenomenon as applied to nerve conduction states that the whole nerve cell must be stimulated for conduction to take place. | This is false. The all-or-non phenomenon states that the action potential either happens completely or it doesn't happen at all. |
| T/F - During depolarization, the inside of the neuron's membrane becomes less negative. | True - less negative. |
| T/F - Action potentials can be generated by virtually all cells of the body because all cells possess cell membranes. | This is false. Only cells with excitable membranes, such as neurons and muscle cells, can generate action potentials. |
