Frage 1
Frage
Sodium is higher in the extracellular space than in the cell body of neurons, causing a chemical gradient favoring the influx of sodium into the cell.
Frage 2
Frage
Resting membrane potential in the cell body of a neuron is
Frage 3
Frage
What mechanism is responsible for creating the chemical charge of the membrane potential?
Frage 4
Frage
In which of the following ways can an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) occur?
Antworten
-
Opening of sodium channels
-
Opening of chloride channels
-
Closing of potassium channels
-
Changes to intracellular structure such as an increase in number of excitatory membrane receptors.
Frage 5
Frage
Action potentials are "all or nothing."
Frage 6
Frage
Which are stages of an action potential?
Frage 7
Frage
What is the difference between an absolute refractory period and a relative refractory period?
Antworten
-
In a relative refractory period, only a small action potential can be generated.
-
There is no difference, they are two names for the same concept.
-
During an absolute refractory period the neuron is completely unable to generate an action potential.
Frage 8
Frage
During repolarization, ligand-gated sodium channels close and potassium channels open.
Frage 9
Frage
An action potential can be said to be self-propagating.

Antworten
-
Via oligodentricytes
-
Via glia
-
Via Swann cells
-
Via astrocytes

Frage 12
Frage
Spatial summation refers to the successive discharges from a single presynaptic terminal.
Frage 13
Frage
In which ways are the influence of ESPS limited or nullfied?
Antworten
-
Ligand-gated activation of G-protein
-
Decremental conduction as ESPS moves away from the cell body
-
Postsynaptic inhibition by release of GABA
-
Decrease in the number of inhibitory receptors on the cell membrane
