WHAT IF? Suppose you examine two groups of individuals with CNS damage. In one group, the damage hasresulted in a coma (a prolonged state of unconsciousness). In the other group, it has caused paralysis (a loss ofskeletal muscle function throughout the body). Relativeto the position of the midbrain and pons, where is thelikely site of damage in each group?

- WHAT IF? How might increased branching of an axonhelp coordinate responses to signals communicated bythe nervous system?arrow_forwardConsider the circuit from Q5 (above). We want to add another inhibitory neuron to this circuit to increase the likelihood that neuron D will have an action potential. With which cell (A, B, C or D) should our new inhibitory neuron make a synapse to make it more likely that the post - synaptic neuron will have anaction potential?The diagram below shows a simple neural circuit with three pre - synaptic cells labelled 'A', 'B' and 'C', and a post - synaptic cell labelled 'D ' (see image below). Assume neurons A and B each have outputs of +2 and neuron C has output of -1.arrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/summation) to learn about summation. The process of converting electrical signals to chemical signals and back requires subtle changes that can result in transient increases or decreases in membrane voltage. To cause a lasting change in the target cell, multiple signals are usually added together, or summated. Does spatial summation have to happen all at once, or can the separate signals arrive on the postsynaptic neuron at slightly different times? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- 3. In a lab a neuron is stimulated by various electrical charges with the following results: 10mV no action potential, 20 mV action potential, 30 mV action potential, 40 mV action potential. What is the threshold potential? A. 10 mV B. 20 mV C. 30 mV D. 40 mVarrow_forwardQuick question on the process of movement Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the peripheral neurons lose their myelin sheath. In this disease, voluntary movement of the limbs is slowed because; Pick the ones that are true the rate of opening of ligand-gated Na+ channels is decreased. the generation of the action potential is blocked at points along the unmyelinated region due to the absence of voltage-gated channels the action potential amplitude is degraded at the Nodes of Ranvier of the peripheral neuron. The Schwann cells are targeted and destroyed by the immune system, affecting saltatory propagation. the rate of opening of ligand-gated Na+ channels is decreased.arrow_forward1. When a neuron is not generating an action potential, its membrane (the neurolemma) has a resting membrane potential. During rest, are gated Na+ and K+ channels (open? closed?)___________________________________.2. Only cells with “excitable membranes” can create action potentials. The two types of cells in the body that can do this are?___________________________________ and ___________________________________.3. Which event pushes a membrane further away from being able to generate another action potential: (hyperpolarization/depolarization /repolarization)?___________________________________.4.

- WHAT IF? Our brain receives more action potentialswhen our eyes are exposed to light even though ourphotoreceptors release more neurotransmitter in thedark. Propose an explanation.arrow_forwardPlease asap. thanku Qs 3 If the K+ channels are blocked by TEA, which direction does the equilibrium potential for K+ move? And why?arrow_forward1.) In an experiment you artificially cut in half (~50% reduction) the number of voltage gated sodium channels that are located on the membrane of the axon hillock. Which of the following is the most likely result of this experimental manipulation? A. Summation of more IPSPs would be required for an action potential to occur B. This change would have no effect on the value required to reach threshold C. Even with a very large number of summating EPSPs it would be impossible for an action potential to occur D. The value to reach threshold would be higher (more positive) making it less likely for an action potential to occur E. All of the above statements are FALSEarrow_forward
- 1. Now assume that you have a typical neuron that has very few Na+ channels open relative to the number of K+ channels. This is the condition of a neuron that is at rest. What will the resting membrane potential be? 2. Suppose a neuron’s resting potential is -70 mV. What will happen to the membrane potential if you could open more K+ channels open more Na+ channelsarrow_forwardGive typed full explanation of both questions otherwise leave it 1) You generate action potentials in a neuron bathed in solution in a petri dish by applying a threshold level depolarizing stimulus near its axon hillock. If the solution surrounding the neuron contained 5mM K+, 150 mM Na+, and 0 mM Ca2+ which of the following would you expect? a. the neuron would not release neurotransmitter from the axon terminal b. the neurons action potentials would have an unusually long duration c. the neuron would have a resting membrane potential of zero d. the neuron would not be able to propagate action potentials down the entire length of the axon 2) If blood pressure decreases, which of the following would allow glomerular filtration rate to remain unchanged? a. dilation of both the efferent and afferent arterioles b. dilation of efferent arterioles and constriction of afferent arterioles c. constriction of efferent arterioles and dilation of afferent arterioles d. constriction of both the…arrow_forward4 Which of the following would be an example of spatial summation that produces a depolarizing effect at the postsynaptic neuron? Resting membrane potential is -70 mV and threshold is -55 mV.
