which of the following correctly describes the series of events in an action potential
thershold, depolarization repolarization
the peripheral nervous sysytem
may be dived into somatic and autonomic nervous systems
during the absolute refactory period
an action potential will not occur
which neuroglia cells produce myelin
oligodendrocytes, schwann cells
(a and b are correct)
consists of neuron cell bodies, neuroglia and unmyelinated nerve fibers
gray matter
which of the following contributes to the maintenance of resting membrane potential
presence of higher concentration of na+ outside the cell, presence of higher concentration of k+ inside the cell ( a and b are correct0
are often most observed in dendrites and cell bodies
graded potentials
allow an impulse to travel the distans of the axon
action potentials
which axon would conduct umpulses the fastest
a myelinated axon with a large diameter
place the events involved generating an action potential in order in whcih they accur
na+ enters the cell, membrane depolarizes, k+moves out of the cell, membrane repolarizes
whic of the following ions is responsible for hte depolarization phase of the action potential
na+
which of the following myelinates axons in the cns similar to the schwann cell in yhe pns
oligodendricyte
place the meninges and associated spaces in order from the most superficial to deepest
dura mater, arachnoid mater, subarachnoid space, pia mater
the patellar reflex
is a monosynatpic reflex, occurs in response to the streching of a muscle ( a and b are correct)
phagocytic glial cells foun in cns
microglia
found lining ventricles of brain; make csf
ependymal cell
foun only in peripheral nervous system; support neuron cell bodies in ganglia
sateillite cell
each of the following is a lobe of the cerebrum of the brain except the
hypothalmus
cerebrosinal fluid
provides nourishment to the brain, provides some mechanical protection for hte brain. r(a and b are correct)
the brain stem includes all of the following except the
diecephalon
is the site decussation (cross over) of the pyramids, is involved in the regulation of the heart rate and blood pressure, sets the basic rhythem of respiration
medulla oblongata
( all of the above are correct)
the cerebellum is responsible for which of the follwoing
coordinate os muscle movemtens
the thalmus does all of the following except
helps regulate autonomic activities
controls and integrates autonomic nervous system activity
hypothalmus
is the thinking part of the brain
cerebrum
its sensory input comes primarily from visceral organs, most of its motor pathways include two neurons that synapse at a ganglion.
true of the autonomic nervous system
(a and b are correct )
whic of the following is not example of an autonomic response
tapping your friends shoulder to get her attention
preganglionic sympathetic neurons, preganglionic and postganglionic parasympathetic neurons, most postganglionic sympathetic neurons associated with sweat glands
cholinergic neurons
( a b and c )
whchi of the following will not usually activate a sympathetic response
eliminating waste
which of the follwoing is not increase by parasympathteic activation
increase heart rate
the ____ nervous system regulates involuntary actions such as smooth muscle contraction in the organs
autonomic
increased stimulation by the ___ division of the autonomic system generally increases heart rate
adrenergic
the ___ division of the autonomic nervous system is also called the craniosacral division and the cell bodies of its neurons are located in the brain stem and sacral spinal cord
cholinergic
___ neurons release acetycholine; they are found in the somatic and sutonomic nervous systems
parasympathetic
sympathteic activation causes a set of responses designed to protect the body from a real or perceived threat. Collectively, these responses are called the ___ response
fight or flight
parasympathetic activation allows the body to process ingested food and store energy. the parasympathetic response is sometimes called the ____ response
rest or digest
the ___ nervous system regulates voluntary actions such as skeletal muscle contraction
somatic
___ neurons release norepinephrine; they are found in the autonomic nervous system.
sympathetic
a __is shallow groove in the cerebral cortex
sulcus
the ___ is a collection of structures that are collectively called the emotional brain.
limbic system
the __ is a collection of structures that activate the cerebral cortex into a state of wakefulness
reticular formation
the __ is a reflex center for integrating sensory information concering positon of body parts and for coordinating complex skeletal muscle movements
cerebellum
the __ of the brain that contains the cardiac center, vasomotor and respiratory centers.
medulla oblongata
the __ are connective tissue coverings that enclose the spinal cord and brain
meninges
the ____ is the tough, superficial outer meninge
dura mater
because they vcontain both motor and sensory fibers, spinal nerves are called ____ nerves
mixed
a rapid, automatic predictable sequece of actions occuring in response to a specific stimulus is a
action potential
