Question : Presynaptic facilitation by serotonin is caused by Student Answer: increased extracellular concentration of potassium ion. increased extracellular concentration of sodium ion. temporal summation. blockage of calcium channels in the presynaptic membrane. calcium channels in the presynaptic membrane remaining open longer. 40. Question : If the dorsal root of a spinal nerve is severed, Student Answer: output to visceral organs would be blocked. sensory input would be blocked. output to skeletal muscles would be blocked. the brain would not be able to communicate with that level of the spinal cord. the spinal cord would not be able to process information at that level. 41. Question : The reflex that prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension is the reflex. Student Answer: tendon flexor reciprocal crossed extensor stretch 42. Question : The layer of the meninges in direct contact with the spinal cord is the Student Answer: subarachnoid space. choroid plexus. dura mater. arachnoid. pia mater. 43. Question : The site of intercellular communication between neurons is the Student Answer: hillock. collateral. synaptic knob. telodendria. synapse. 44. Question : Figure 12-1 The Neuron Use Figure 12-1 to answer the following questions: The structure labeled "2" is a Student Answer: perikaryon. soma. initial segment. Nissl body. dendrite. 45. Question : Summation that results from the cumulative effect of multiple synapses at multiple places on the neuron is designated Student Answer: impulse transmission. spatial summation. inhibition of the impulse. hyperpolarization. temporal summation. 46. Question : open or close in response to binding specific molecules. Student Answer: Chemically gated channels Leak channels Activated channels Voltage-gated channels both C and D 47. Question : Which of the following is a function of neuroglia? Student Answer: act as phagocytes produce cerebrospinal fluid regulate the composition of interstitial fluid provide a supportive framework all of the above 48. Question : EPSPs (excitatory postsynaptic potentials) occur when Student Answer: more potassium ions than usual leak out of a cell. more calcium ions than usual leak out of a cell. chloride ions enter a cell. hyperpolarizations occur. extra sodium ions enter a cell. 49. Question : The spinal cord consists of five regions and segments. Student Answer: 25 12 5 31 number varies widely among individuals 50. Question : After acetylcholinesterase acts, the synaptic knob Student Answer: reabsorbs the choline. reabsorbs the acetylcholine. reabsorbs the acetate. all of the above both B and C 51. Question : Muscles of the neck and shoulder are innervated by spinal nerves from the region. Student Answer: cervical coccygeal lumbar thoracic sacral 52. Question : The site in the neuron where EPSPs and IPSPs are integrated is the Student Answer: axon hillock. dendritic membrane. synaptic knob. chemical synapse. electrical synapse. 53. Question : Which of the following is not a function of the neuroglia? Student Answer: support memory phagocytosis maintenance of blood-brain barrier secretion of cerebrospinal fluid 54. Question : If the potassium permeability of a resting neuron increases above the resting permeability, what effect will this have on the transmembrane potential? Student Answer: The membrane will become depolarized. The inside of the membrane will become more positive. There will be almost no effect on transmembrane potential. The inside of the membrane will become more negative. both B and D 55. Question : Which type of synapse is most common in the nervous system? Student Answer: processing radiative chemical mechanical electrical 56. Question : Cerebrospinal fluid flows within the Student Answer: subarachnoid space. filum terminale. dura mater. pia mater. arachnoid mater. 57. Question : The white matter of the spinal cord is mainly Student Answer: nodes of Ranvier. Schwann cells. unmyelinated axons. neuroglia. myelinated axons. 58. Question : The nerve, which arises in the cervical plexus, innervates the diaphragm. Student Answer: sciatic ansa cervicalis * Times are displayed in (GMT-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)
