Neurobiology Test 2

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Presynaptic   show
🗑
Postsynaptic   show
🗑
synaptic cleft   show
🗑
show connections between two cells in electrical symnapses  
🗑
connexons   show
🗑
show most neuron-neuron; all neuron-muscle  
🗑
show tested the idea that cells communicate by releasing chemicals; experimented on the vagus nerve through the frog heart.  
🗑
show 1. Neurotransmitter synthesized and packed into vesicles in the terminal. 2. Action potential through synaptic bouton. 3. Presynaptic terminal depolarized; opens Voltage gated channels. 4. Ca2+ influx. 5. Ca2+ helps vesicles fuse w/membrane.  
🗑
show 6. Neurotransmitter released. 7. Diffuses across cleft and bind to receptor proteins in PostSyn. 8. Binding leads to channels opening. 9. Resting membrane poten. changes as ions move. 10. NT removed or inactivated from cleft. 11. Vesicle membrane recycled  
🗑
show 1. Must be present w/in the presynaptic neuron. 2. Must be released in response to presynaptic depolarization and the release must be calcium dependent. 3. Must bind to specific receptors on the postsynaptic cell.  
🗑
Examples of Neurotransmitters   show
🗑
show AChR is activated and becomes an open channel. K+ out and Na+ influx. Depolarization in post synaptic cell (causes muscle contraction).  
🗑
show The enzyme that recycles ACh and allows the receptors to close  
🗑
show Falt & Katz. Caused by random calcium causing a few vesicles to fuse and stimulate the channels to open. Proves vesicle size is uniform at 1 mV--quantal release (packet release)  
🗑
Endplate potential   show
🗑
Quantal release   show
🗑
Neurotoxins   show
🗑
Calcium Influx blockers (vesicle fusion and ACh release)   show
🗑
show botulinum prevents docking, black widow spider venom causes all vesicles to dock and release  
🗑
Block AChR   show
🗑
Block AChE   show
🗑
show summation of many cells (recording from many nerves)  
🗑
End plate current (EPC)   show
🗑
show takes cells closer to threshold (all EPP in muscle cells)  
🗑
show keeps cells from reaching threshold by opening channels to bring - ions (chloride) in  
🗑
Muscle cells   show
🗑
Temporal summation   show
🗑
Spatial summation   show
🗑
show changeability, amenability  
🗑
show an increase in the second post-synaptic response (PSP) after closely spaced stimuli due to prolonged calcium levels in the pre-synaptic cell  
🗑
Postsynpatic depression   show
🗑
Potentiation   show
🗑
show rapid stimuli that cause tatanic responses/hyper-responses that are together  
🗑
show the increased EPSP following a distance of time after tetany  
🗑
Habituation   show
🗑
sensitization   show
🗑
Why sensitization (short term) happens   show
🗑
show Action of CREB  
🗑
show 1. Environmental stimulus (light, sound, touch, pressure, heat, pain, etc). 2. Sensory transduction changes signal from one energy to electrical. 3. Intensity coding. 4. Sensory analysis. 5. Sensorimotor integration. (6) Motor output  
🗑
show towards the CNS (sensory)  
🗑
show away from the CNS (motor)  
🗑
Sensory system   show
🗑
show where cell bodies are located  
🗑
show where neurons/axons are located  
🗑
show Stimulus intensity is either positively or negatively correlated to the frequency  
🗑
show stimulation generates a receptor potential--channels are opened--excitation occurs and depolarization of sensory cell--can become an action potential--mechanical to electrical/chemical  
🗑
sensation   show
🗑
mechanoreceptors   show
🗑
show afferent fibers that lack specialized receptor cells  
🗑
show axon diameter, temporal dynamics, and receptive fields  
🗑
two-point discrimination   show
🗑
Rapidly adapting   show
🗑
show useful for providing spatial attributes of the stimulus such as size and shape  
🗑
show pain receptors--unmyelinated or slow  
🗑
Parallel pathways   show
🗑
Haptics   show
🗑
Stereognosis   show
🗑
Merkel cell afferents   show
🗑
Meissnerr afferents   show
🗑
Pacinian corpuscles   show
🗑
show slowly adapting fibers, 20%, recognize finger stretches  
🗑
Proprioception   show
🗑
muscle spindles   show
🗑
show composed of extrafusal muscle fibers, detect tension in muscles  
🗑
joint receptors   show
🗑
Dorsal column   show
🗑
Lateral inhibition   show
🗑
show detect changes in temperature (specifically, heat and lack of heat)  
🗑
  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.
