Introduction:
The nervous system in humans has two different parts: the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is comprised of the spinal cord and brain. The peripheral nervous system is comprised of the nerves that are present exterior to the brain and spinal cord.

- Neuron cells are a uniquely specialized type of cell. The following diagram illustrates the special structures of a neuron cell. Use the dropdown menus to label the structures where indicated. What are labels 1-6? options: axon terminals, nucleus, myelin sheath, dendrites, cell body, axon. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not true of glial cells? They are more numerous than neurons. They transmit information. They have diverse functions in support of neurons. They can be a cause of brain tumors.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true with regards to the differences between a neuromuscular junction, and a standard central nervous system (CNS) synapse? Select all that apply. O The neuromuscular junction is a synapse between a neuron (alpha motor neuron) and a muscle fibre. CNS synapses connect two neurons. The graded potential generated by a neuromuscular junction has a much larger voltage than that of a CNS synapse. The structure of the neuromuscular junction ensures that an action potential in the alpha motor neuron always results in an action potential in the post-synaptic muscle fibre. CNS synapses do not guarantee this. The neuromuscular junction always uses Acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter, whereas CNS synapses may use a variety of neurotransmitters depending on their location and functionarrow_forward
- A taser is a device used by police to control unruly criminals by delivering a large electrical current into the body. This electrical current is able to temporarily paralyze the criminal. A Biology 30 student hypothesizes that this temporary paralysis is caused by the neurons in the body all simultaneously becoming unable to engage in a refractory period. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Provide your rationale from the point of view of Na+ ion and K+ ion movement OR from the point of view of processes that do or do not occur properly in the criminal's neural synapses.arrow_forwardThe following table summarizes the characteristics of four different neurons. Based on these characteristics, which of these neurons would most likely have the slowest conduction velocity?

In addition to the conduction of nerve impulses, the outermost layer called neurilemma aids in nerve development and regeneration. Which of the following explains why the neurons in the brain cannot repair damage like the neurons in your hands or feet can? a. Neurons in the central nervous system lack neurilemma of Schwann cells. b. Neurons in the peripheral nervous system are surrounded by grey matter. c. Axons of the peripheral nervous system lack neurilemma of Schwann cells. d. Neurons in the central nervous system are surrounded by white matter.arrow_forward
- Neurons can also be classified by their structure as unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar. Research the difference between these terms and record notes about each. Think about the neurons you drew and created. Do you think they would be classified as unipolar, bipolar, or multipolar? What is your claim and evidence?arrow_forwardDemyelination is the loss of myelin from neurones that are normally myelinated. Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which demyelination occurs in neurones involved in coordinating muscle movement. Using your knowledge of nerve impulse generation and propagation, explain how nerve impulse generation and propagation would be affected in people who have multiple sclerosis. The explanation needs to be in the form of a step by step sequence of annotated drawings. This could be in the form of an annotated cartoon/picture strip. Compare this to nerve impulse generation and propagation in an individual who does not have multiple sclerosis.arrow_forwardThe image attached below depicts a histological slice of human cerebral cortex tissue.Using knowledge of the central nervous system and various cell-cell interactions, identify thekey type(s) of cell junctions present in this image (for example, tight junctions, gap junctions, and adherens junctions/desmosomes).
