Physiology Assignment 2 - Weeks 7-13
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Whether an impulse is continued through the neuron depends on the magnitude of the voltage in the axon hillock. | True |
| The magnitude of the action potential peaks when the sodium channels close. | True |
| The tiny bulge at the end of a terminal branch of a presynaptic neuron's axon is called a(n) | synaptic knob. |
| Which membrane receptor acts to directly change ion permeability when stimulated? | Gated-channel receptor |
| The active transport mechanism is the plasma membrane that transports sodium and potassium ions in opposite directions and at different rates is the | sodium-potassium pump. |
| Dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine are classified as: | catecholamines. |
| Severe depression can be caused by a deficit in certain brain synapses of: | amines. |
| The only ion(s) the can diffuse across a neuron's membrane when the neuron is at rest is (are): | potassium. |
| Which of the following is not one of the main chemical classes of neurotransmitter? | Triglycerides |
| Neurotransmitters are released in a synapse and bind to: | receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. |
| The second largest part of the brain, located just below the posterior portion of the cerebrum, is the | cerebellum. |
| Mixed cranial nerves contain axons of | sensory and motor neurons. |
| Which region of brain plays a part in the mechanism responisble for emotions by associating sensory impulses with feelings of pleasantness and unpleasantness? | Thalamus |
| A reflex consists of either a muscle contraction or a | glandular secretion. |
| The groove between the frontal and parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex is the | central sulcus. |
| Norepinephrine is liberated at: | most sympathetic postganglionic nerve endings. |
| The part of the brain that can directly influence or inhibit the release of hormones from the pituitary is the: | hypothalamus. |
| Sympathetic responses generally have widespread effects on the body because: | preganglionic fibers synapse with several postsynaptic fibers. |
| What would the result be if the phrenic nerve received an impulse from the cervical plexus? | The diaphragm would stop contracting. |
| Which of the following is not true of the knee jerk reflex? | It is flexor reflex. |
| The receptors responsible for sensing crude and persistent touch are the: | Ruffini corpuscles. |
| The major hormone produced by the corpus luteum is: | progesterone. |
| The clear and potassium-rich fluid that fills the labyrinth is | endolymph |
| The type of cells that secrete ACTH are: | corticotrophs |
| When you are looking at a large green field, which cones would be sending the green wavelengths to the brain? | M |
| A glycoprotein hormone that is secreted to increase oxygen concentration in the tissues is | erythropoietin |
| The physiologicial mechanism that dissolves clots is known as | fibrinolysis. |
| Which of the following is not a formed element found in the blood? | Plasma |
| The molecule that makes up 95% of the dry weight of each red blood cell is responsible for the red pigment is | hemoglobin |
| The type of membranous tissue that lines the heart and blood vessels is the | endothelium |
| The heart begins beating in the fetus at about what stage of development? | After about 4 weeks |
| During pregnancy, what happens to the oxygenated blood returned from the placenta via the umbilical vein? | It flows into the inferior vena cava. |
| The term used to describe the collection of mechanism that influence the circulation of blood is: | hemodynamics. |
| If damaged, which valve could allow blood to leak back into the right atrium? | Tricuspid |
| Erythrocytes begin their maturation sequence in red bone marrow from nucleated cells known as: | hematopoietic stem cells. |
| Adaptive immunity, part of the body'd third line of defense, is orchestrated by two different classes of a type of white blood cell called the | lymphocyte |
| The movement of phagocytes from blood vessels to an inflammation site is called | diapedesis |
| The function of which antibody is basically unknown? | lgD |
| Complement can best be described as a(n): | enzyme in blood. |
| Recognition of antigens by antibodies occurs when an | antigen's epitopes fit into and bind to an antigen molecule's antigen-binding site. |
| A right shift of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve due to increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide is also known as | the Bohr effect. |
| Pressure gradients are established by changes in the | thoracic cavity. |
| During inspiration, as the size of the thorax increases, the | intrapleural and alveolar pressures decrease. |
| Oxygen enters blood from the alveolar air because the partial pressure of alveolar air is | greater than the partial pressure of incoming blood. |
| The ability of the lungs and thorax to stretch is referred to as | compliance. |
| The ejection of bile from the gallbladder is controlled by which hormones? | CCK and secretin |
| Fats and other nutrients in the duodenum stimulates the intestinal mucosa to release a hormone called | gastric inhibitory peptide. |
| The wave-like ripple of the muscle layer of the GI tract is called | peristalsis |
| The final step in lipid transport by the intestines is the formation of | chylomicrons. |
| Saliva contains the enzyme | amylase. |
| The process of swallowing is known as: | deglutition. |
| Which of the following is not one of the openings that must be blocked when food moves from the pharynx into the esophagus? | Oropharynx |
| The hormones thought to be a messenger causing release of digestive enzymes from the intestinal mucosa is: | vasoactive intestinal peptide. |
| The purpose of peristalsis is to: | propel food foward along the GI tract. |
| The end product of fat digestion is: | glycerol. |
