All of the following are functions of astrocytes except:

Produce myelin

Provide physical support to axons

through tight cell junctions with capillaries, control movement of components from the blood to CNS tissue

Uptake glucose from the capillary and chemically convert it into lactate for metabolic use by the CNS tissue

A sodium channel blocking medication would have the effect of:

Making depolarization of a nerve cell less likely to occur

Making the interior of a nerve cell more positive

Making depolarization of a nerve cell more likely to occur

Grey matter of the brain is largely composed of myelin-containing axons, and is located in the deeper aspects of the cerebrum.

True

False

Movement of potassium out of the cell, or movement of chloride into the cell would have the effect of hyperpolarizing the cell.

True

False

Serotonin is a critical neurotransmitter in voluntary muscle control, and is severely depleted in the symptomatic patients with Parkinson’s disease.

True

False

Sensory (afferent) neurons:

Transmit impulses to the CNS

Transmit impulses from the CNS to muscles and glands

Can transmit impulses to and from the CNS

Are ventral nerves

An action potential:

All are correct

Travels from the dendrites to cell body to axon to end feet

Depolarizes on the all or none principle

Is a positive feedback loop

Mylenated nerve fibers can:

Conduct impulses faster than non-mylenated nerve fibers

Conduct only motor impulses

Conduct only sensory impulses

All are correct

Sensory neurons

Are multipolar and carry impulses toward the CNS.

Are bipolar and carry impulses away from the CNS.

Are multipolar and carry impulses away from the CNS.

Which division of the nervous system innervates involuntary effectors?

Autonomic nervous system

Associative nervous system

somatic nervous system

During an action potential:

Na+ influx causes depolarization.

K+ influx causes after-hyperpolarization.

Na+ efflux causes depolarization.

K+ influx causes repolarization.

Chemicals that stimulate action potentials in postsynaptic cells are called :

neurotrophins.

Neurotransmitters.

enzymes.

hormones.

The brain and spinal cord comprise the:

Peripheral nervous system.

peripheral ganglia.

Central nervous system.

spinal nerves.
