Question
Answer
show sodium causes depolarization of the cell membrane, and potassium causes repolarization of the cell membrane  
🗑
The sodium-potassium pump actively pumps three potassium ions out of the neuron and two sodium ions into the neuron   show
🗑
If the magnitude of the local depolarization surpasses a limit called the _____, voltage-gated Na+ channels are stimulated to open.   show
🗑
A synapse can occur only between an axon and:   show
🗑
show Neurotransmitters  
🗑
A membrane that exhibits a membrane potential is said to be   show
🗑
show Action  
🗑
show Gated-channel receptor  
🗑
show Neurotransmitter molecules are metabolized into inactive compounds, Neurotransmitter molecules are transported into nearby glial cells, and Neurotransmitter molecules are transported back into synaptic knobs.  
🗑
show temporal summation  
🗑
show refractory  
🗑
show Resting  
🗑
Movement of the membrane potential away from zero (below the usual RMP) is called   show
🗑
show False  
🗑
A term commonly used as a synonym for action potential is   show
🗑
In a myelinated fiber, the action potential jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next.   show
🗑
In a myelinated neuron, the impulse can travel under the myelin between nodes of Ranvier.   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show True  
🗑
There are two types of synapses—the electrical synapse and the __________ synapse.   show
🗑
The magnitude of the action potential peaks when the sodium channels close.   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
The speed of a nerve impulse depends on the neuron’s resting potential   show
🗑
show Saltatory  
🗑
show slight excess of positive ions on the outer surface of the plasma membrane  
🗑
show synaptic knob  
🗑
show False  
🗑
show sodium-potassium pump  
🗑
show True  
🗑
show stimulus-gated channel.  
🗑


   

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.
