TEST Prep Chapter 11 – Nervous System histology and overview
Part of the neuron that conducts impulses away from the cell body… • Schwann cell • Axon • Dendrite • neurolemma
An impulse from one nerve cell is communicated to another nerve cell via… • Cell body • Effector • Synapse • Receptor
The term Central Nervous System refers to ….. • Autonomic nervous system • Spinal cord and spinal nerves • Brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves • Brain and spinal cord
The interior surface of a resting neuron cell membrane…… • Negatively charged with less sodium • Positively charged with less sodium • Negatively charged with more sodium • Positively charged with more sodium
A second nerve impulse cannot be generated until…. • All sodium gates are closed • The membrane potential has been reestablished • Proteins have been resynthesized • The Na ions have been pumped back into the cell
The substance released at axon terminals to propagate a nerve impulse is called…. • Ion • Cholinesterase • Neurotransmitter • Biogenic amine
Which of the following is not a function of the autonomic nervous system? • Innervation of skeletal muscle • Innervation of glands • Innervation of cardiac muscle • Innervation of smooth muscle of the digestive tract
Which is not a special characteristic of neurons? • Exceptionally high metabolic rate • Are mitotic • Have extreme longevity • Conduct impulses
What part of the autonomic nervous system is considered the “resting and digesting” division? • Peripheral nervous system • Sympathetic division • Somatic division • Parasympathetic division
The patellar “knee jerk” reflex is an example of a….. • Crossed-extensor reflex • Extensor thrust reflex • Stress reflex • Stretch reflex
Match the following: • Absolute refractory period • Depolarization • Action potential • Repolarization • Relative refractory period • neuron cannot respond to stimuli no matter how strong. • Also called a nerve impulse transmitted by axons • Interior of the cell becomes less negative due to influx of sodium ions. • Exceptionally strong stimuli can trigger a response • Specific period during which potassium ions diffuse out of the neuron due to a change in membrane permeability.
Identify Structures • Ion channel • Calcium ions • Post-synaptic membrane • Synaptic cleft • Synaptic vesicles
