Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
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.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Resting membrane potential in the cell body of a neuron is
Respuesta
  • -40 mV
  • -90 mV
  • -65 mV

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
What mechanism is responsible for creating the chemical charge of the membrane potential?
Respuesta
  • Na-K ATPase
  • Fight or flight mechanism of ANS
  • IPSP

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
In which of the following ways can an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) occur?
Respuesta
  • 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.

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Action potentials are "all or nothing."
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Which are stages of an action potential?
Respuesta
  • Resting stage (-90 mV)
  • Depolarization stage (-70 to -50 mV)
  • Absolute refractory period (-110 mV)
  • Repolarization

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
What is the difference between an absolute refractory period and a relative refractory period?
Respuesta
  • 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.

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
During repolarization, ligand-gated sodium channels close and potassium channels open.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
An action potential can be said to be self-propagating.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
How are myelin sheaths formed?
Respuesta
  • Via oligodentricytes
  • Via glia
  • Via Swann cells
  • Via astrocytes

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
Which ion is responsible for binding and docking of synaptic vessels at the terminal bouton?
Respuesta
  • Sodium
  • Calcium
  • Chloride
  • Acetylcholine

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
Spatial summation refers to the successive discharges from a single presynaptic terminal.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
In which ways are the influence of ESPS limited or nullfied?
Respuesta
  • 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
