Question 1

Question
Regarding sensory receptor properties
Answer
  • All receptors respond to a specific quality of a stimulus
  • A touch receptor will generate a constant rate of discharge of its axon for as long as the receptor is stimulated.
  • The frequency of a train of action potentials in an afferent fibre reflects the intensity of the stimulus given to its receptor
  • The first step in sensory transduction is the generation of an action potential

Question 2

Question
Receptors that respond when a stimulus is first applied, but quickly stop responding to continual stimulation, are the
Answer
  • phasic receptors
  • nocioreceptors
  • exteroceptors
  • tonic receptors

Question 3

Question
An environmental stimulus acting on the body initially produces an electrical response, called a(n) .................. in the receptor neuron
Answer
  • generator potential
  • excitatory postsynaptic potential
  • action potential
  • stimulus potential

Question 4

Question
Alkalosis .......neuronal activity , while acidosis ....... neuronal activity
Answer
  • increases , increases
  • .increases,decreases
  • decreases, increases
  • decreases,decreases

Question 5

Question
Synaptic transmission is inhibited by all the following, except
Answer
  • oxygen lack
  • alkalosis
  • acidosis
  • prolonged activity of synapse

Question 6

Question
Post-tetanic Potentiation in synapses
Answer
  • is due to increased Ca ++ concentration in postsynaptic neurons
  • is due to increased Ca ++ influx into presynaptic neurons
  • results from slow prolonged stimulation of synapse
  • causes fatigue of the synapse

Question 7

Question
Intermittent Claudications evoke
Answer
  • visceral pain
  • deep pain
  • cutaneous hyperalgesia
  • colicky pain

Question 8

Question
in hemisection of the spinal cord , all the following are true EXCEPT:-
Answer
  • anethesia is found at the level of lesion ipsilaterally
  • hyperthesia nay present above the level of lesion on the same side due to irritation of dorsal root
  • spastic paralysis and exaggerated muscle reflex is found contralaterally below level of lesion
  • all of the above are true

Question 9

Question
when sensory area I of the cerebral cortex is ablated
Answer
  • perception of pain is completely abolished
  • perception of touch is completely abolished
  • there is loss of tactile localization but two point discrimination is spared
  • there is loss of tactile localization as well as two point discrimination

Question 10

Question
which of the following NOT produce intracranial headache :-
Answer
  • brain tumor
  • lumbar puncture
  • constipation and alcohol
  • otitis media
