Q

In the anatomical classification what have TWO extensions from the cell body, one from each end, one is the axon 2nd is a dendrite and is found I the eyes, nose, ears (afferent,sensory)

Q

In the anatomical classification what has ONE extension from the cell body. The extensions divides into 2 branches but only one is associated with the dendrite and is found in sensory neurons such as temp, touch, and pain

17
Q

The info must be in a form the body can transport and read like what

A

TV/ SATELLITE signals

18
Q

What is a form of signal the nervous signal use

A

Action potential

19
Q

What is also called a nerve impulse or signal and described as a wave of electromagnet activity that allows a neuron to carry signal over a distance and generated by the diffusion of specific ions in & out the neuron is

A

Action potential

20
Q

Most substances in nature are what and have neither a positive or negative charge

21
Q

If something have a charge it has

22
Q

In action potential the insides of all cells in the body are what when compared to the outside of the cell

23
Q

In action potential what is the polarity of the inside of a cell

A

Negative polarity

24
Q

What is maintained by protein pumps in the cell membrane that uses ATP ex ATPhase pump s (active transport)

A

Internal negative polarity

25
allows diffusion of specific ions to occur thru protein channels from high concentration to low Changes polarity inside cell are results from what
When a stimulus comes in contact with a neurons dendrites/cell body
26
In action potential a stimulus can come from
``` External environment (hot/cold light, movement) Internal environment (brain making impulse ,stretch of an organ, muscle ```
27
What is a change in polarity called
Electrochemical activity
28
What does NA+\k+ pump use
Active transport
29
Where does action potential occur ONLY in neurons
The axons
30
What is the extension of the cell body only one per neuron surrounded by layers of a phospholipid membrane
Axons
31
What are the layers of phospholipid membrane and are produced by non- neuron cell
Myelin sheath
32
The action potential that moves to the next area of the axon that is un-myelinated
Node of ranvier
33
The area of the axon where the action potential moved from is now refractory which means
It cannot generate another action potential for a specific time and the AP Can only move in one direction
34
To connect all parts of the body to CNS. In the CNS processes the incoming data. To send signal back to the rest of the body to direct activities.
Functions of action potential
35
During the function of a action potential each step of it there will be connections between what
Neurons
36
In the neuronal arrangement the 1st neuron before the synapse is called
Pre-synaptic neuron
37
The 2nd neuron after the synapse is called
The post synaptic neuron
38
In a neuronal arrangement each time there is a neuronal connection there is a synapse which means what is used
Neurotransmitter
39
In signal transmission when an impulse reaches the end of the pre-synaptic neuron (1st neuron ) what happens
Neurotransmitter released into synapse. Release from vesicles (packages) Exocytoces. How strong the impulse is determines the amount of neurotransmitter released
40
In signal transmission the greater the concentration of neurotransmitter released into the synapse means
The faster it DIFFUSES across the synapse. (Speed) | The greater the response of the post-synaptic neuron (intensity)
41
The nervous system produces how many different types of neurotransmitters
30
42
What type of neurotransmitters are based on substances they are synthesis from
Products of metabolism Modified amino acids I unmodified amino acids Peptides
