Question 1

Question
Acetyl Choline always produces an EPSP.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 2

Question
Glutamate produces an IPSP.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
Gaba produces an IPSP.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
Choose the correct statements about methamphetamine.
Answer
  • It increases levels of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin.
  • It blocks the reuptake of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin.
  • It acts in reward centres and as such is highly addictive.
  • It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system.

Question 5

Question
Choose the incorrect statement.
Answer
  • Acetylcholine activates stimulus gated Na+ channels, and can be found in NMJs and the brain.
  • Glutamate activates stimulus gated Na+ and Ca+ channels, and is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS.
  • GABA activates Na+ and Cl- channels, and is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS.

Question 6

Question
A neuron can have >50,000 synapses at its input zone.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7

Question
Local synaptic potential (EPSPs and IPSPs) summate. Spatial summation is integration of inputs from [blank_start]different synaptic knobs[blank_end]. (Different localisation/[blank_start]local polarisations[blank_end] of input zone.) Temporal summation is the integration of inputs from the [blank_start]same synaptic knob[blank_end] but from different, [blank_start]short time intervals[blank_end].
Answer
  • different synaptic knobs
  • local polarisations
  • same synaptic knob
  • short time intervals

Question 8

Question
Local polarisations last longer than action potentials. This allows temporal summation to be effective.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
Converging networks can amplify signals. They have few control points and can therefore allow precise control. Diverging networks provide redundancy, making sure there is a 'back up' should another transmission fail and assuring an action is carried out.
Answer
  • True
  • False
