Pregunta 5

Pregunta
The absolute refractory period refers to the period of hyperpolarisation in an action potential.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
The refractory period is important for what?
Respuesta
  • Unidirectionality
  • Discrete action potentials

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Conductance is approximately equal to permeability.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
How is an action potential propagated in a non-myelinated axon?
Respuesta
  • The local current in an axonal section flows to the next "segment" of the axon, causing depolarisation of that part of the membrane. This continues, causing propagation of the action potential.
  • The non-myelinated axon is insulated by a myelin sheath which allows current to 'jump' from node to node, via "saltatory conduction".

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Anterograde transport occurs away from the cell body of a neurone.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
Kinesin are motor proteins that partake in anterograde transport.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
Kinesin walk towards the positive end of microtubules found in the axon, which usually leads away from the cell body of the neuron.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
Motor proteins carry vesicles or membrane bound organelles like mitochondria to their desired location.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
What is the correct process of wallerian degeneration?
Respuesta
  • Trauma -> Axonal breakdown -> Macrophage invasion from nearby blood vessels -> Phagocytosis -> Ready for regeneration
  • Trauma -> Axonal breakdown -> Axonal fragments absorbed into bloodstream -> Ready for regeneration

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
What is the correct process of wallerian regeneration?
Respuesta
  • Edge of trauma site develops an axonal sprout -> the sprout encourages schwann cell division -> the schwann cells release neurotrophins to guide the growth cone -> growth cone grows -> axon regenerated
  • Edge of trauma site develops an axonal sprout -> the sprout encourages oligodendrocyte division -> the oligodendrocytes release neurotrophins to guide the growth cone -> growth cone grows -> axon regenerated

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
A class 1 nerve injury would cause what?
Respuesta
  • Minor compression and no axon degeneration
  • Crushing and resulting degeneration
  • Severe tear and endoneurium will be compromised

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
A class 2 nerve injury would cause what?
Respuesta
  • Minor compression and no axon degeneration
  • Crushing and resulting degeneration
  • Severe tear and endoneurium will be compromised

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
A class 3 nerve injury would cause what?
Respuesta
  • Minor compression and no axon degeneration
  • Crushing and resulting degeneration
  • Severe tear and endoneurium will be compromised

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
Reactive astrocytes contribute to CNS nerve regeneration.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
What part of a local anaesthetic is shown by the red question mark?
Respuesta
  • Aromatic ring
  • Linkage
  • Amine group

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
What part of a local anaesthetic is shown by the green question mark?
Respuesta
  • Amine group
  • Aromatic ring
  • Linkage

Pregunta 21

Pregunta
What different type of link may be present in the part of the LA labelled with a blue question mark?
Respuesta
  • Ester
  • Amide
  • Carbonyl
  • Ketone

Pregunta 22

Pregunta
Why do most modern local anaesthetics have an amide linkage rather than an ester linkage?
Respuesta
  • Broken down more slowly - longer time of action
  • Broken down more quickly - shorter time of action
  • More prone to causing allergies
  • Less prone to causing allergies

Pregunta 23

Pregunta
The function of the aromatic ring in the local anaesthetic is to provide lipid soluble properties.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 24

Pregunta
Local anaesthetics are...
Respuesta
  • Weak bases
  • Weak acids
  • Strong bases
  • Strong acids

Pregunta 25

Pregunta
Following on from the previous question, would a local anaesthetic be ionised in...
Respuesta
  • Acidic conditions
  • Alkaline conditions

Pregunta 26

Pregunta
The ionised form of the local anaesthetic can cross the plasma membrane to exhibit its action.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 27

Pregunta
The ionised version of the local anaesthetic blocks the voltage-gated Na+ channels to prevent action potentials being generated.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 28

Pregunta
Why is local anaesthetic less effective when a bacterial infection is present?
Respuesta
  • Local anaesthetics are weak bases. Bacteria that are present at the infection site will be metabolising substances which creates an acidic environment. An acidic environment will cause ionisation of the local anaesthetic. The ionised form of the local anaesthetic cannot cross the plasma membrane. Less local anaesthetic crossing the PM means there is less blocking of VG Na+ channels and therefore the local anaesthetic is less effective.

Lower diameter, less myelinated axons are more sensitive to local anaesthetic.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False
