| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURES IS NOT PART OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM? | NERVE |
| MYELINATES NERVE FIBERS IN THE CNS | OLIGODENDROCYTE |
| lines brain cavities | ependymal cell |
| myelinates nerve fibers in the PNS | Schwann cell |
| CNS phagocyes | microglia |
| helps regulate the ionic composition of CNS extracellular fluid | astrocyte |
| what type of current flows through the axolemma during the steep phase of repolarization? | chiefly a postassium current |
| assume that an EPSP is being generated on the dendritic membrane. which will occur? | a single type of channel will open, permitting simultaneous flow of Na+ and k+ |
| the velocity of nerve impulse conduction is greatest in ____ | heavily myelinated, large-diameter fibers |
| chemical synapses are characterized by all of the following except _______ | ions flowing through protein channels from the presynaptic to the postsynaptic neuron |
| biogenic amine neurotransmitters include all BUT _____ | acetylcholine |
| the neuropeptides that act as natural opiates are ______ | enkephalins |
| inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by poisoning blocks neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction because _______ | ACh is not degraded, hence prolonged depolarization is enforced on the postsynaptic cell |
| the anatomical region of a multipolar neuron that has the lowest threshold for generating an AP is ____ | axon hillock |
| an IPSP is inhibitory because____ | it hyperpolarizes the postsynaptic membrane |
| impulses continue around and around the circuit until one neuron stops firing | reverberating |
| one or few inputs ultimately influence large numbers of neurons | diverging |
| many neurons influence a few neurons | converging |
| may be involved in exacting types of mental activity | parallel after-discharge |
