- Identify whether the statement is TRUE or FALSE 1. The tightly packed coil of neurolemmocyte membrane that encircles certain kinds of axons is called a node. 2. Depolarization of the membrane of a nerve cell occurs by the rapid influx of organic ions. 3. In a resting neuron the outside is negatively charged. 4. The interior surface of a membrane of a nonconducting neuron differs from the exterior surface in that the former is negatively charged and contains more sodium.arrow_forwardNeurofibromatosis type 1 is a condition where tumours can grow in the nerves near the skin. The growth of tumours prevents the action potentials from quickly travelling through the neurons. Identify the nerve structure from the image below and the division of the nervous system affected by neurofibromatosis type 1. CNS = Central Nervous System PNS = Peripheral Nervous System Select one: a. Nerve Structure Division of Nervous System 3 PNS b. Nerve Structure Division of Nervous System 4 CNS c. Nerve Structure Division of Nervous System 5 PNS d. Nerve Structure Division of Nervous System 1 CNSarrow_forwardQuestion 6 of 20 : Select the best answer for the question. 6. In addition to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane, a single neuron possesses A. one dendrite and several axons. B. many nuclei and one neurolemma. C. one nucleus and many neurolemma.

- ILLUSTRATE the following and give their function: A. Cross Section of a Nerve B. Cross Section of the Spinal Cord C. Neuron and Neuroglia in Nerve smear NMN mmnarrow_forwardOrder the steps of the neuromuscular junction transmission using the following images. Then, usethe to describe what is happening in the step. Neuromuscular Junction Transmission - Contraction 1. Action potential travels from motor neuron cell body along the myelinated axon to neuromuscular junction. 2. Acetylcholine (ACh) is released from axon (neuron), crosses synapse (space between axon and sarcolemma).ACh binds to ACh receptors (channel) in sarcolemma. 3.ACh channels open. Ions (like sodium, Na+) flow into sarcolemma.Action potential spreads in sarcolemma and into transverse tubules. 4. Action potential causes the release of calcium (Ca2+) from sarcoplasmic reticulum into sarcoplasm 5.Ca2+ goes to the troponin, which moves the tropomyosin away from actin 6. Myosin head breaks down ATP, causing the sliding filament mechanism to shorten sarcomereMuscle contractsarrow_forwardLetter and words 1) Which of the following are parts of the central nervous system? I. Nerves II. Spinal Cord III. Brain A. III only C. II and III only B. I and III only D. I , II and III 2) Which among the following is NOT a part of the brain? A. Brain Stem C. Cerebrum B. Cerebellum D. Cranium 3) How does the body react to life-threatening situations? A. The parasympathetic nervous system calms down the body. B. Fight or flight response is turned on by sympathetic nervous system. C. Brain shuts down all the body functions to conserve precious energy. D. All the nerves in the body are activated to increase chances of survival. 4) A loud bang is heard across the room. In reaction to this, people turned their heads towards the noise. Which is the stimulus in this case? A. loud bang C. room B. people D. turning of heads 5) What type of nerve connects the eyes directly to the brain?

- Please note these are all one question group and should be answered as such! Which of the following statements accurately defines epineurium? A. Fluid-filled space at a synapse through which neurotransmitters diffuse B. A vesicle containing neurotransmitters in the axon terminal of a neuron C. The CT sheath that binds together the groups of fascicles, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels in a peripheral nerve D. The branch of the ANS that adapts the body for rest and digestion Which of the following statements accurately defines sacral plexus? A. The ventral rami of C1–C4 (and a small contribution from C5) that serve the head and neck B. The ventral rami of L1–L4 that serve the pelvis and lower limb C.

Label the parts of this neuron: 2. Explain the function of each component in #1. 3. Mark the following statements as TRUE or FALSE: An action potential is something that only occurs at synapses. Afferent pathways send sensory information to the CNS for processing. When they are at rest, neurons are more positively charged inside than outside the cell. FALSE Action potentials originate at the axon terminal and move towards the dendrites. An action potential travels down the length of the neuron with the help of voltage-gated calcium channels. Neurons can only have one action potential and must be recycled by glia once they have depolarized. At axon terminals, calcium influx stimulates vesicle release. Ligand-gated ion channels open in response to a molecule binding to them. 4. For each FALSE statement in #3, explain why it is incorrect.
