3rd Test Flashcards
(32 cards)
What neurotransmitter would take longer to take effect once it arrived at the post-synaptic neuron
Substance P
Ambidexterity leads to
Dyslexia
To cause an action potential, neurotransmitters released in several waves unto the next neuron
Temporal summation
definition of “consciousness”
awareness of one’s self
brain waves produced when under anesthesia
Delta waves
Which part of the neuron produces neurotransmitters
the cell body
Origin for the flexor carpi ulnaris is most likely found on the
Ulna
Efferent neurons are also known as
Motor Neurons
The muscle “pectoralis minor” is named this because
of the relative size it has to another muscle
Aspartate could affect memory by
causing depolarizations in the CNS
Parts of the blood-brain barrier
Thick basal lamina and astrocytes
What is a short protein used as a neurotransmitter
Enkephalin
Process of action potential occuring
Action potential arrives at cell body, it travels past axon hillock and goes down axon collateral, calcium channels open allowing calcium to enter cell, synaptic vessels fuse to membrane of cell, and neurotransmitter is released
Which parts of the brain is involved in emotions
Limbic system and Hypothalamus
Neurons classified as unipolar
neurons in the dorsal root ganglion
Using the”staircase effect”
swinging a golf club a few times prior to teeing off
slow twitch muscle
the leg of a cow
the cerebral cortex is made mainly of
gray matter
Which of the following supporting cells produce myelin sheaths in the peripheral nervous system
Schwann Cells
The ability for a muscle to stretch beyond its normal length is
extensibility
The functional unit of a skeletal muscle is
sarcomere
Frontal lobotomies led to
the inability to make decisions and verbalize one’s thoughts
Drainage areas for cerebrospinal fluid in the brain are called
dural sinuses
what would not be a reason to routinely exercise
to reduce the excess lactic acid building up in the muscles
