| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ganglion | group of neuron cell bodies outside the CNS |
| Multiple sclerosis (MS) | Autoimmune demyelinating disease with eventual progressive accumulation of neurologic deficits |
| Where do action potentials occur? | Node of Ranvier |
| What term describes how an action potential is propagated along an axon? | Saltatory conduction |
| Conduction rate of electrical impulses with non-myelinated axons | 1.0 m/s |
| Conduction rate of electrical impulses with myelinated axons | 100 m/s |
| EPSP (excitatory post-synaptic potential) | open Na+ gates on post-synaptic membrane; continues action potential |
| IPSP (inhibitory post-synaptic potential) | CR channels (K+/Cl-) when open cause hyperpolarization- further from threshold; more negative |
| Where is the action potential initiated? | Axon hillock |
| What receptor is used for ACh somatic muscles? | Nicotinic receptors, they stimulate skeletal muscle contraciton |
| What receptor is used for ACh smooth and cardiac muscle as well as glands? | Muscarinic receptors |
| antagonists | drugs that block the function of a neurotransmitter |
