Botulinum toxin (Botox) works by blocking the exocytosis of acetylcholine. A number of different medical and cosmetic procedures use this chemical. Injection of small quantities of botulinum toxin (Botox) into specific overactive muscles causes muscle relaxation that smooths the skin and reduces wrinkles. Injection into certain spinal ganglia helps reduce a certain form of chronic pain, and injections into the salivary glands causes the reduction of overactive saliva production. What type of toxin is Botox? a. Agonist b. Antagonist

Which is an incorrect statement about simple nerve nets? a- Neurons are randomly poisoned relative to one another. b- They control the contraction and expansion of the gastrovascular cavity. c- They don’t contain nerves. d- They are organized into ganglia.
- Which type of cell transmits signals to the central nervous system?1- efferent neurons2- interneurons3- motor neurons4- afferent neurons - Sensory transduction involves1- converting a stimulus into a membrane potential2- sending brain instructions to motor neurons3- the central but not the peripheral nervous system4- converting a stimulus into neurotransmitter - When light hits the rods and cones in our eyes1- it alters the shape of a protein called retinal2- it causes Ca+ channels to open3- it causes K+ channels to open4- it causes them to depolarize - In mammals, both hearing and equilibrium involve 1- chemoreceptors2- retinal3- mechanoreceptors4- electromagnetic receptors
Describe the roles of and differentiate between the divisions of the vertebrate nervous system (afferent, efferent, somatic, autonomic, sympathetic, parasympathetic).
Which of the following statements about the intensity of a nerve response is true? Select one: a. A stimulus reaching the threshold level may or may not propagate a nerve impulse. b. A small voltage shift and a large voltage shift will yield the same nerve impulse as long as the stimulus reaches the threshold level. c. All stimuli, regardless of the strength, will always generate a nerve impulse. d. A stimulus resulting in a greater voltage shift will result in a stronger nerve impulse and increased sense of perception in the brain.

Many neurotoxins have been used extensively in physiological studies of neurons. When comparing tetrodotoxin found in puffer fish and batrachotoxins from poison dart-frogs, the former had no effect on a neurons resting potential but completely stopped its action potential, whereas the later toxin immediately initiates depolarization of a neuron but prevents repolarization. Can your group hypothesize how these toxins affect the nerve transmission differently?
Match the following components of the nervous system with their correct descriptions Interneurons Sensory neurons Motor neurons Nerve net Neurons that send signals to effector cells like muscles and glands that affect change Neurons that carry signals from the environment to the central nervous system from the peripheral nervous system Neurons that transmit signals between other neurons, part of the CNS A diffuse arrangement of neurons that are found in jellyfish and other cnidarians
