Neurobiology and behavior

What covers the axon of some neurons and speeds impulses?

• Dendrites

• Myelin Sheath

• Synaspe

• Dopamine

What is a neuron?

• A nerve cell

• A neural impulse that travels down the axon

• Space between the axon tip and the dendrite

• Brain and spinal cord

Summarize sensory neurons purpose

• CNS neurons that communicate between sensory and motor neurons

• Carry incoming information from the sense receptors to the CNS

• Carry outgoing information from the CNS to the muscles and glands

• Controls the body's skeletal muscles

What would result if you were to sustain damage to your motor cortex?

• Lack of sight

• Lack of control over voluntary movements

• Lack of sensation

• Lack of hearing

What examples deal with the sympathetic nervous system?

• Laying in bed listening to music

• Rocking back and forth outside

• Hanging off of a cliff

• Hitting a baseball

What is the function of the somatic nervous system?

• Controls the glands and muscles of the internal organs

• Controls the body's skeletal muscles

• Arouses the body in stressful situations

• Calms the body to conserve energy

List the parts of a motor neuron

• Dendrites, Cellbody, Nucleus, Axon, Myelin Sheaths

• Axon, Nucleus, Cellbody, Neurotransmitters, Myelin Sheaths

• Myelin Sheaths, Neurotransmitters, Axon, GABA, Serotonin

• Nucleus, Cellbody, Dopamine, Myelin Sheaths, Dendrites

Which of these is NOT a function of a neuron?

• Receive info

• Transmit info to the rest of the body

• Produce info

• Process info

Jason was a healthy college student who was playing a game of football with his friends, he got tackled by the competing linebacker and hit his head on the ground and passed out. He woke up later in the hospital where the doctor told him that his heart rhythm was irregular and he had to be fed through a tube because his digestion system no longer normal. Which part of his brain was injured severely enough to cause these symptoms?

• Medulla oblangata

• Cerebellum

• Basil ganglia

• Hypothalamus

Gaps in the myelin sheath are called _______.

• nodes of Ranvier
• synapses
• Na+/K+ pumps
• fenestrations
