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  
🗑
show 1.Axon. 2.Dendrites. **Nissl stain stains ER purple.  
🗑
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
🗑
show 1.Demyelination (Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome: most common, hereditary, affects PNS). 2.Degeneration (Alzheimer's: build up of non-fnc protein in CNS neurons). **Build up due to lack of processing of proteins. These lead to cell death.  
🗑
show Found in growing tips and dendritic spines. Involved in movement.  
🗑
Where will you find Micortubules? what are they involved in?   show
🗑
Are Microtubules involved in the spindle apparatus in neurons?   show
🗑
show Found mainly in axons  
🗑
show 1.Tubulins. 2.MAPs (create hooks on microtubules allowing them to interact). 3.MMPs (Kinesin & Dynein which are motor proteins mediating transport).  
🗑
2 directions of Axonal transport? what MMP is used for each   show
🗑
show If they are picked up from the periphery extracellular fluid during vesicular endocytosis, they can be transported to the soma via RETROGRADE transport.  
🗑
show Used to transport structural proteins. **ANTEROGRADE ONLY  
🗑
Fast Axonal transport   show
🗑
Causes of Plaques and Tangles seen with Alzheimer's? what do they do?   show
🗑
What occurs in a cytoskeletal disease   show
🗑
3 main components of Neuronal Metabolism   show
🗑
3 main areas of high concentrations of mitochondria & metabolism within the neuron   show
🗑
Mitochondria's role in Ca buffering   show
🗑
show Excitotoxicity can occur which leads to OXIDATIVE STRESS: productions of large amounts of free radicals which dissolves the cell internally cuases Apoptosis.  
🗑
Mitochondrial Permeability Transition (MPT) Pores   show
🗑
show 1.Alzheimer's (CNS). 2.ALS (PNS)  
🗑
show 1.Olfactory Bulb. 2.Hippocampal Formation. **Difficult to re-grow due to complicated shape. This is the reason why there are NOT a lot of primary neuronal tumors.  
🗑
show synaptic connections  
🗑
What determines the way a neuronal cell works?   show
🗑
Dendritic domains: Purkinje cell   show
🗑
Dendritic domains: Pyramidal (cortical) cell   show
🗑
Are all axons covered in something?   show
🗑
Are axons tapering or non-tapering?   show
🗑
2 types of axonal distribution   show
🗑
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  
🗑
show Mapping of neurons from one nucleus to another. **This can be used to locate lesions causes specific sensation loss.  
🗑
3 main locations of synapses   show
🗑
show NO, NON-peptide neurotransmitters are produced in the terminal itself. **Vesicle and Peptide come from the soma  
🗑
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.  
🗑
Where is Endocytosis of the vesicle particularly problematic?   show
🗑
show 1.Ionotrophic (nicotinc): Ion channels that are very fast response but short lasting. 2.Metabotrophic (Muscarinic): associated w/ secondary messangers, much slower but last longer  
🗑
Which post-synaptic receptor has the more powerful effect?   show
🗑
show 1.D1: Inc cAMP causing Satiety. 2.D2: Dec cAMP causing Craving. **Reinforces behavior and leads to addiction. Cocaine blocker re-uptake of dopamine which leads to prolonged satiety, also causes strong craving.  
🗑
show YES. They uptake glutamate at glutaminergic synapses. **defective glial cells may impair neurotransmitter re-uptake which would cause overstimulation. **ALS could be treated with INC glial cell activity.  
🗑


   

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.
