🗑
which of the following is not true of graded potentials?   they increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point  
🗑
which of the following is not a function of the autonomic nervous system?   innervation of skeeletal muscle  
🗑
schwann cells are functionally similar to___   oligodendrocytes  
🗑
a neron that has as its primary function the job of connecting other neurons is called an___   association neuron  
🗑
what is the role of acetylcholinesterase?   destroy ACh a breif period after its release by the axon endings  
🗑
collections of nerve cell bodies outside the central nervous system are called____.   ganglia  
🗑
the period after an initial simulus when a neron is not sensitive to another stimulus is the___   absolute refractor period  
🗑
nerve cell adhesion molecules (N-CAMs)___   are crucial for the development of neural connections  
🗑
which of the following is not a chemical class of neurotransmitters?   nucleic acid  
🗑
which of the following is not a function of astrocytes?   provide the defense for the CNS  
🗑
whici of the following is true about the movment of ions across excitable living membranes?   some ions are prevented from moving down their concentration gradients by ATP driven pumps  
🗑
a second nerve impulse cannot be generated until___   the membrane potential has been reestablished  
🗑
an impulse from one nerve cell is communicated to another nerve cell via the___   synapse  
🗑
neuroglia that control the chemical enviroment around neurons by buffering potassium and recapturing neurotransmitters are___   astrocytes  
🗑
which ofthe following describes the nervous system integrative function?   analyzes sensory information, stores information, makes decisions  
🗑
which of the following will occur when an excitatory postsynaptic potential (ESSP) is being generated on the dendritic membrane?   a single type of channel will open, permitting simultaneous flow of soium and potassium.  
🗑
the substance release at axon terminals to propagate a nervous impulse is called   neurotransmitter  
🗑
when a sensory neuron is excited by some form of energy the resulting graded potential is called an____   generator potential  
🗑
salatory conduction is made possible by___   the myelin sheath  
🗑
the term central nervous system refers to the___   brain and spinal cord  
🗑
Neurons may be classified according to several characteristics. which ofthe following is correct?   group cfibers are not capable of salatory conduction.  
🗑
ependymal cells____   help to circulate the cerebrospinal fluid  
🗑
which of the following is an excitatory nerotransmitter secreted by motor neurons innervating skeletal muscles?   acetylcholine  
🗑
the sheath of schwann is also called the ___   neurilemma  
🗑
which of the following is false or incorrect?   a nerve impulse occurs if the excitatory and inhibitory effects are equal  
🗑
an inhibitory ostsynaptic potential (IPSP) is associated with____   hyperpolarization  
🗑
select the correct statement about serial processing.   spinal reflexes are an example of serial processing  
🗑
immedeiately after an action potential has peaked, which cellualar gates open?   potassium  
🗑
what are ciliated CNS neuroglia that play an active role in moving the cerebrospinal flued called?   ependymal cells  
🗑
bipolar neurons are commonly ___   found in the retina of the eye  
🗑

🗑
the part of a neuron that conducts impulses away from its cell body is called a   axon  
🗑
select the correct statment regarding synapses   the synaptic cleft prevents an impulse from being transmitted directly from one neuron to another.  
🗑
if a motor neuron in the body were stimulated by an electrode placed about midpoint along the length of the axon___   the impulse would spread bidirectionally  
🗑

🗑


   

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.
