Questão 13

Questão
Is this statement true? Axons, dendrites and migrating neuroblasts rely on a part of their cells called 'filopodia' in order to guide them to the area they need to be.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Responda
  • Beta-neurexin
  • Neuroligin-1
  • Alpha-neurexin
  • Neuroligin-2

Questão 15

Questão
What will happen if the filopodia reaches an axon that is not complimentary?
Responda
  • The filopodia will retract
  • The filopodia will still bind, it just won't be active
  • binding still occurs and the neuron will still be active.

Questão 16

Questão
During synapses strengthening if the circuit is effective what receptor is activated and what does it allow to move into the cell?
Responda
  • NMDA receptor
  • Nicotinic receptor
  • Calcium ions
  • Potassium ions

Questão 17

Questão
Calcium ions moving into the axon allows what to happen?
Responda
  • Increases AMPA receptors on the cell surface
  • Increases the effectiveness of AMPA receptors (phosphorylation)
  • Causes actin cytoskeleton to grow and increase dendritic spine area and thus more space for AMPA receptors
  • Strengthens synpase
  • Weakens synpase
