Med Neuro Lect2 Neuronal Mechanisms Part 1

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show surrounds the nueron, contains: 1.fibers. 2.Dendrites. 3.Lots of BV. **Doesn't show up well on a Nissl Stain.  
🗑
show YES  
🗑
What structures are stained jet black by the Golgi stain   show
🗑
show Guide proteins once they are properly folded and translated. **Very important in neurons due to the high level of protein folding, trafficking, and packaging occuring.  
🗑
What happens to protein aggregates that are mis-folded or start to build up within the cell?   show
🗑
2 main types of Deposition diseases? (give example of each)   show
🗑
show Found in growing tips and dendritic spines. Involved in movement.  
🗑
show Found in axons, dendrites, and the soma. Involved in transporting and organizing.  
🗑
show NOOO, they don't divide and therefore do not form spindle apparatuses.  
🗑
Where will you find Intermediate filaments?   show
🗑
show 1.Tubulins. 2.MAPs (create hooks on microtubules allowing them to interact). 3.MMPs (Kinesin & Dynein which are motor proteins mediating transport).  
🗑
show 1.Retrograde: Uses DYNEIN to move from the synaptic terminal to the cell body. 2.Anterograde: Uses Kinesin to move from the cell body to the synaptic terminal.  
🗑
How can viruses infiltrate neurons?   show
🗑
Slow Axonal transport   show
🗑
Fast Axonal transport   show
🗑
show 1.Plaques: Build up of amyloid protein. 2.Tangles: Build up of Tau proteins. **1&2 cause cell death and brain atrophy bc they tie up cytoskeleton of the cell.  
🗑
What occurs in a cytoskeletal disease   show
🗑
show 1.Oxidative Phosphorylation. 2.Decomposition of glucose to CO2 & H2O. 3.Energy is used to form NADH & ATP.  
🗑
3 main areas of high concentrations of mitochondria & metabolism within the neuron   show
🗑
show During high cellular [Ca+] levels, Mitochondria can absorb excess Ca to prevent extreme excitation (Excitotoxicity) within the neuron.  
🗑
What happens if the Mitochondria is unable to effectively buffer high Ca levels?   show
🗑
Mitochondrial Permeability Transition (MPT) Pores   show
🗑
What diseases would you see permanent openings of MPT pores?   show
🗑
What are the only 2 locations of Adult neurogenesis in the CNS?   show
🗑
What occurs at dendritic spines?   show
🗑
What determines the way a neuronal cell works?   show
🗑
show Found in the cerebellar cortex: Elaborate dendritic tree with a flat domain.  
🗑
show Found in the Cerebral cortex. Has a spine studed apical dendrite & lots of basal dendrites. **Apical dendrite can extend across multiple layers which can then integrate all that info.  
🗑
show YES. Myelinated or non-myelinated, they are still wrapped in something. **Myelin covers K+ channels which leads to a stronger depolarization at the nodes of Rhanvier  
🗑
Are axons tapering or non-tapering?   show
🗑
show 1.Type I (Projection neurons): travel a longer distance to somewhere other than the brain. 2.Type II (local, circuit, interneurons): stay within the brain and CNS.  
🗑
Is size of the axon related to it's conduction velocity?   show
🗑
show Seen in dendrites b/c they are tapering. it is the degradation of a signal b/c it is not self propagating.  
🗑
show Cluster of like minded neurons in the brain that project their axons to another nucleus elsewhere  
🗑
Topography   show
🗑
show 1.Axosomatic (synapsing onto a neuronal soma). 2.Axodendritic Shaft synapse. 3.Axodendritic Spine synapse.  
🗑
Are all neurotransmitters produced in the soma and moved to the axon terminal via anterograde movement?   show
🗑
What is responsible for opening V-gated Ca+ channels in the axon terminal and thus vesicular movement?   show
🗑
show 1.Docking (moving vesicle to pre-syp mem). 2.Priming (Adding ATP). 3.Fusion/Exocytosis (Ca influx hydrolyzes ATP). 4.Endocytosis (brings in some extracellular fluid which could contain viruses). 5.Recycling. **SNARE proteins involved in 1 & 2.  
🗑
show Neuromuscular junctions. That extracellular fluid is exposed to body fluid so viral uptake is more likely. **Polio  
🗑
2 main types of post-synaptic receptors   show
🗑
Which post-synaptic receptor has the more powerful effect?   show
🗑
Specific Dopamine receptors and their effects?   show
🗑
Are Glial cells involved in the re-uptake of neurotransmitter?   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.
