1.

what is satlatory conduction?

a)

polarization

b)

action potential

c)

act of impulse skipping along myelin sheath

d)

depolarization

2.

what happens during the first step of nerve transmission (resting potential)? (select all that apply)

a)

membrane is polarized

b)

(-) K+ inside, (+) Na+ outside

c)

(+) K+ inside, (-) Na+ outside

d)

neuron is at rest

3.

what happens during the second stage of impusle conduction (depolarization)? (select all that apply)

a)

a stimulus causes Na+ chambers to open and Na+ the cells

b)

inside membrane becomes (+)

c)

inside membrane becomes (-)

d)

the neuron becomes depolarized

4.

what happens during action potential (3rd step)? (select all that apply)

a)

if stimulus is strong enough, it skips along the axon of the neuron

b)

neuron perfroms a function

c)

inside becomes (+), outside becomes (-)

d)

the neruon returns to resting potential

5.

what happens during repolarization (step 4)?

a)

K+ channels open, neruon instantly becomes polarized

b)

K+ channels open, K+ moves out, and Na moves back in

c)

K+ channels open, K+ moves in, and Na+ moves back out

d)

this is the last step

6.

what happens during refractory period (step 5)? select all that apply

a)

Na/K pump restores resting potential

b)

provides a period of 'rest' before next impulse

c)

carries out impulse

d)

Na/K pump causes depolarization

7.

what are the fucntions/characteristics of grey matter?

a)

have no myelin

b)

movement, touch

c)

vibration

d)

interneurons

8.

what are the functions/characteristics of white matter?

a)

bundles of myelinated axons

b)

communication routes

c)

touch, vibration

d)

bundles of axons

9.

what are the sensory functions of the cerebral cortex? (select all that apply)

a)

pinpoint location of pain

b)

identify textures

c)

proprioception

d)

reflec arc

10.

what is the function & location of the post central syrus? (select all that apply)

a)

cerebrum, primary sensory area of brain

b)

temporal lobe, primary somatic sensory area of brain

c)

cerebral cortex, primary somatic sensory of brain

d)

temp/touch/sensory receptors

11.

what is the function/location of the POSTcentral syrus

a)

cerebellum, primary motor sensory area

b)

cerebral cortex, primary motor sensory area

c)

cerebellum, motor area

d)

involves thinking about movement

12.

what does CSF do? (select all that apply)

a)

choroid plexus in brain secrets CSF

b)

provides nutrients such as glucose to the spinal cord and brain

c)

drains blood from the brain barrier

d)

froms myelin sheath cells in the brain

13.

what is the correct order of a synaptic connection/conduction?

a)

ion channels open allowing calcium in presynapse, calcium stims release of NTs, NT bind to receptors on post synapse

b)

ion channels open allowing sodium in presynapse, sodium stims release of NTs, NT binds to receptors on post synapse

c)

ion channels open, allowing sodium and calcium in presynapse, NT bind to receptors on post synapse

d)

ion challels open, allwoing potassium in presynapse, potassium stims release of NT's, NT's bind to receptors on post synapse

14.

what are characteristics of the sympathetic divison (select all that apply)?

a)

preganglionic neurons begin in the spinal cord

b)

postganglionic neurons are long, unmyelinated, and produce an intermediate response

c)

postganglionic neurons are short and produce a slow, localized response

d)

preganglionic neurons begin in the brain

15.

what are characteristics of the parasympathetic divison? (select all that apply)

a)

preganglionic neurons begin in the brain and sacral region and are long and near target organs

b)

postganglionic neurons are short and produce a slow, localized response

c)

preganglionic neurons begin in the spinal cord and are long and near target organs

d)

postganglionic neurons are long and produce a fast response

16.

what is a ganglion? (select all that apply?
