Question
Answer
The resting membrane potential is maintained by Na K pumps that actively transport ___ into and ____ out of the cell.   show
🗑
show K  
🗑
show K  
🗑
In RMP the concentration of ___ is higher outside than inside the cell   show
🗑
show axon hillock  
🗑
Most CNS neurons fall into which structural category?   show
🗑
Which cell produces myelin and is located in the PNS?   show
🗑
show oligodendrocytes  
🗑
show decrease the speed of action potential transmission  
🗑
show -70 mV  
🗑
The most abundant intracellular cation is _________ while the most extracellular anion is _____________.   show
🗑
show Initial segment  
🗑
show voltage gated Na channels  
🗑
show the membrane potential changes from a negative value to a positive value  
🗑
show Once the membrane depolarizes to a peak value of +30mV, it repolarizes to its negative resting value of -70mV  
🗑
What event triggers the generation of an action potential?   show
🗑
show Voltage-gated Na channels change shape, and their activation gates open.  
🗑
show continuous conduction  
🗑
show depolarizing currents established by the influx of Na flow down the axon and trigger an action potential at the next segment  
🗑
Why does regeneration of the action potential occur in one direction, rather than in two directions?   show
🗑
show The myelin sheath increases the speed of action potential conduction from the initial segment to the axon terminals.  
🗑
show Inactivation gates of voltage-gated Na channels close, while activation gates of voltage-gated K channels open  
🗑
show Myelinated axons with the largest diameter  
🗑
show a neuron  
🗑
show synaptic cleft  
🗑
What role does calcium have in synaptic activity?   show
🗑
What is the role of neurotransmitter at a chemical synapse?   show
🗑
show Ache degrades Ach in the synaptic cleft  
🗑
show It will show spatial summation  
🗑
show  
🗑


   

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.
