Question
Answer
During saltatory conduction   APs occur between successive nodes along the length of stimulated axon  
🗑
MS is associated with a loss of myelin. MS involves   Oligodendrocytes  
🗑
The later part of the rising phase of the action potential is mediated by what kind of ion membrane channel?   Voltage-gated  
🗑
What is true about a graded potential?   Stimulus causes ion channels to open changing membrane permeability  
🗑
A resting transmembrane potential of a cell has a value of approximately   -70 mV  
🗑
Opening of Na+ channels in the membrane of a neuron normally results in   Depolarization  
🗑
What prevents an action potential from traveling in both directions down an axon?   Refractory period  
🗑
A better sprinter has more _____ in their leg muscles than marathon runner does   White muscle fibers  
🗑
Smooth but steady increase in muscle tension produced by increasing the number of active motor units is called   Recruitment  
🗑
What is involved in both synaptic transmission and excitation-contraction coupling?   Calcium  
🗑
Which striated muscle band is directly adjacent to the Z-line?   I-band  
🗑
During relaxation, muscles return to their original length not because of   Renshaw inhibition  
🗑
Muscles return to their original length because of   Elastic forces, the pull of gravity, the contraction of opposing muscles, the elastic nature of the sarcolemma  
🗑
At rest, active sites on the actin are blocked by   Tropomyosin molecules  
🗑
Tropomyosin wraps itself around which other muscle element   F-actin  
🗑
The "powerstroke" in skeletal muscle contraction is directly associated with   Myosin head pivots at joint pulling actin  
🗑
We can distinguish between sensations originating in different body areas because   Receptors from each body region synapse in specific brain regions  
🗑
Diffusion across the Arachnoid Granulations returns excess CSF to   Venous circulation  
🗑
Soon after a person dies and loses all ATP, their skeletal muscles   Stiffen from actin and myosin binding  
🗑
Characteristics of smooth muscle   Have small diameters and lengths compared with skeletal muscles, have actin and myosin, have autorhythmicity, little fatigue with prolong contraction  
🗑
Not a characteristic of smooth muscle   Have striations  
🗑
Which of the following is responsible for reciprocal inhibition   Interneurons in the spinal cord  
🗑
People perceive different intensities of light when their brains receive different   Rates of action potentials  
🗑
Part of the brain closely associated with emotions (pleasure and hunger)   Hypothalamus  
🗑
What is responsible for reciprocal inhibition?   Interneurons in the spinal cord  
🗑
Overseeing the postual muscles of the body and making rapid adjustments to maintain balance and equilibrium are functions of the   Cerebellum  
🗑
The cell bodies of the sympathetic preganglionic neurons are in the   Lateral gray horns of T1 through L2 region of the spinal cord  
🗑
Activity of the parasympathetic ANS mainly   Increases while calmly digestion diner  
🗑
The cell bodies of the parasympathetic preganglionic neurons are found in the   Brain stem and lateral gray horns of the sacral area of the spinal cord  
🗑
Of the 31 pairs of spinal nerves, each one monitors a particular   Dermatome  
🗑
Large multinucleated cells that can dissolve the bony matrix are termed   Osteoclasts  
🗑
Appositional growth in bones is most closely related to growth in   Bone diameter  
🗑
What decreases the concentration of calcium in the blood   Calcitonin  
🗑
The "shaft" of a long bone is most closely associated with the   Diaphysis  
🗑


   

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.
