neurons that lie between sensory and motor pathways in CNS   interneurons  
🗑
90% of our neurons are ____________   interneurons  
🗑
neurons that process, store and retrieve info   interneurons  
🗑
what is the most common neuronal classifcation   multipolar neuron  
🗑
what is a bipolar neuron made of   one dendrite and one axon  
🗑
cells in the CNS and PNS that support and protect neurons   neuroglial (glial) cells  
🗑
what do oligodendrocytes do   form myelin in the CNS  
🗑
what do astrocytes do   maintain blood-brain barrier and proper ion balances  
🗑
where are ependymal cells found   line ventricles and form cerbrospinal fluid  
🗑
what are microglia cells like   macrophages that eliminate microbes  
🗑
cells that myelinate fibers of the PNS   schwann cells  
🗑
cells that support PNS ganglia and hlp in regeration sometimes   satellite cells  
🗑
what are the gaps between myelin segments called   nodes of Ranvier  
🗑
highly responsible to stimuli   excitability  
🗑
when action potential reaces end of nerve fiber, a neurotrasmitter is released   transmission  
🗑
are living cells positive or negative on the inside   negative  
🗑
how is a voltage gated channel opened   by electric current  
🗑
how is a ligand gated channel opened   by chemicals  
🗑
how is a mechanically gated channel opened   by vibrations, movement or touch  
🗑
How is resting membrane potential maintained?   seletive permeable membrane and Na/K active pumps  
🗑
How many mV is a membrane at resting potential   70 mV  
🗑
At resting potential, the membrane is more permeable to ________ and less permeable to __________   Potassium, Sodium  
🗑
How many mV is threshold potential   55 mV  
🗑
____________ channels open once threshold is reached, thus causing depolarization   sodium  
🗑
In order to repolarize the cell, _____________ gates open to let it out   potassium  
🗑
Which type of potential is all-or-none, nondecremental and irreversible   action potential  
🗑
when does the absolute refractory period occur in action potentials   right above threshold so no stimulus will trigger AP; when Sodium gates are opened  
🗑
When does relative refractory period occur   during repolarization when potassium gates are opened - only strong stimulus will trigger AP  
🗑
a nerve signal is a chain reaction of   acction potentials  
🗑
impulse conduction can only travel ________ from soma because of refractory period   away  
🗑
type of potential where the stronger the stimulus, the stronger the reaction   graded potentials  
🗑
potential that causes lgiand or mechanical channels to open   graded potential  
🗑
type of potential that is decremental and either excitatory or inhibitory   graded potentials  
🗑
What two things determine the speed of a nerve signal   diameter of fiber and presence of myelin  
🗑
where are slow nerve signals used   stomach and dilate pupils  
🗑
where are fast nerve signals used   skeletal muscles and sensory signals for vision  
🗑
which is faster: a chemical synapse or an electrical synapse   electrical synapse  
🗑
electrical synapses are faster because the current spreads to second neuron directly through ___________   gap junctions  
🗑
what type of synapse is has two way transmission and synchronization   electrical synapse  
🗑
Where are electrical synapses found   smooth and cardiac muscle only  
🗑
chain of amino acids that act as neurotransmitters   neuropeptides or neuromodulators  
🗑
a positive voltage change in which postsynaptic cell is more likely to fire   excitatory postsynapitc potentials (EPSP)  
🗑
negative voltage change where postsynaptic cell is less likely to fire   inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSP)  
🗑
Is GABA excitatory or inhibitory   inhibitory  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
