The term central nervous system refers to the ________. C) The synaptic cleft prevents an impulse from being transmitted directly from one neuron to another. 15. The nerve impulse travels across the membrane of the axon in the form of an electrical signal. Axon terminals release neurotransmitters. Once the nerve impulse has been generated it. a single depolarization. Determine its coordinate direction angles of the force. Figure 11.4. This reverse polarity constitutes the nerve impulse. 5.) Which of the following is correct relative to Ohm's law? 4.) Absolute refractory period The interior of the cell becomes less negative due to an influx of sodium ions. It is a short duration of time during which a new nerve impulse cannot be generated in a neuron, after initiation of a previous action potential. Postsynaptic membrane. Which neuron is common only in dorsal root ganglia of the spinal Which of the following describes the nervous system integrative function? impulse would move to the axon terminal only, C) the impulse would move to the axon terminal only, and the muscle As stated above, the action potential is propagated along the axon without any decrease in amplitude with distance. During the resting state, the sodium-potassium pump maintains a difference in charge across the cell membrane of the neuron. B) Current is directly proportional to the voltage. Mastering A&P Human Anatomy & Physiology 10th Edition Marieb. The answer involves ions, which are electrically charged atoms or molecules. During the refractory period, another action potential cannot be generated. This series of activations, by propagating the action potential along the fibre with virtually no reduction in amplitude, gives the nerve impulse its regenerative property. the membrane potential has been reestablished. If somehow the synaptic gap doesnt allow the passage of nerve impulse, the transmission of nerve impulse will not occur and consequently required response too. This is close to the Nernst potential for Na+that is, the membrane potential at which electrochemical equilibrium would be established if the membrane were completely permeable to Na+. A In order a nerve impulse to be generated there needs to be a stimulus. The sodium-potassium pump is a mechanism of active transport that moves sodium ions out of cells and potassium ions into cells. The neuron cannot respond to a second stimulus, no matter how strong. In what way does the interior surface of a cell membrane of a resting True or False, If bacteria invaded the CNS tissue, microglia would migrate to the area to engulf and destroy them. When the voltage has the required number of electron particles it conducts current. The period after an initial stimulus when a neuron is not sensitive to another stimulus is the ________. Nerve Impulse is defined as a wave of electrical chemical changes across the neuron that helps in the generation of the action potential in response to the stimulus. This helps in maintaining the membrane potential and thus favors faster nerve impulses. 3. conduction to take place. It is a change in the resting state of the neuron. Signup as a free member below and you'll be brought back to this page to try the sample materials before you buy. Synaptic vesicles. A) Subthreshold stimulusB) Temporal summationC) Spatial It is called the action potential because the positive charge then flows through the cytoplasm, activating sodium channels along the entire length of the nerve fibre. When a neuron is not actively transmitting a nerve impulse, it is in a resting state, ready to transmit a nerve impulse. The stimulus can be a chemical, electrical, or mechanical signal. A second nerve impulse cannot be generated until: the refractory period: In what way does the interior surface of a cell membrane of a resting (nonconducting) neuron differ from the external environment? B) Neurotransmitter receptors are located on the axons terminals of cells. . A nerve impulse, like a lightning strike, is an electrical phenomenon. B) the impulse would spread bidirectionally. B) stimulate the production of acetylcholine, C) destroy ACh a brief period after its release by the axon endings. c) voltage-gated channel The signal is transmitted in the form of ions and therefore it is much faster than chemical synapses. contraction would occur, D) the impulse would spread bidirectionally. ________ potentials are short-lived, local changes in membrane potential that can be either depolarized or hyperpolarized. The place where an axon terminal meets another cell is called a synapse. Which ion channel opens in response to a change in membrane potential and participates in generation and conduction of action potentials? synaptic vesicles to the axonal membrane. some types of Na+ channels inactivate at a positive potential and conduction velocity, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Books a la Carte Edition. the membrane potential has been reestablished. outside the central nervous system, Myelination of the nerve fibers in the central nervous system is the When information is delivered within the CNS simultaneously by different parts of the neural pathway, the process is called ________ processing. Second, they are taken back into the presynaptic terminal by transmitter-sensitive transport molecules. a) the synaptic cleft prevents an impulse from being transmitted directly from one neuron to another What does the central nervous system use to determine the strength of happen after a refractory period, when the membrane potential has Due to this sheath, an action potential is not formed on the surface of the neuron. insufficient stimulus. True or False, Efferent nerve fibers may be described as motor nerve fibers. An action potential occurs when the nerve cell is in an excited state while conducting nerve impulses. Which of the following is not true of graded potentials? It is a condition during which the electrical balance is restored inside and outside the axon membrane. c. 1.21.21.2 liters Because the neurotransmitter chemicals are packed into separate, almost identically sized vesicles, their release into the synaptic cleft is said to be quantalthat is, they are expelled in parcels, each vesicle adding its contents incrementally to the contents released from other parcels. This mode of nerve impulse transmission utilizes less energy as well. Collections of nerve cell bodies outside the central nervous system are called ________. Name any four of them.. conduction states that the whole nerve cell must be stimulated for association neuron. A) are crucial for the development of neural connections. This phenomenon has formed the basis for classifying mammalian nerve fibres into groups in order of decreasing diameter and decreasing conduction velocity.

The neuron is responsible for transferring signals to three target cells: And this results in the contraction of muscle, secretion by glands and helps neurons to transmit action potential. A. the Na ions have been pumped back into the cell B. the membrane potential has been reestablished C. proteins have been resynthesized D. all sodium gates are closed, sort the chemical reactions based on whether they absorb or release energyI'm asking this next to the other people who did because the answer with the Nerve cell adhesion molecules (N-CAMs) ________. Vesicle membranes are then recovered from the plasma membrane through endocytosis. Which of the following is correct? One is the vertebrate neuromuscular junction, and the other is the giant synapse of the squid Loligo. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell, it opens channels that allow calcium to enter the terminal. When the action potential is over (after transmitting the nerve impulse through neuron) the cell membrane potential returns back by repolarizing the membrane. Whether acting upon ion channels directly or indirectly, the neurotransmitter molecules cause a sudden change in the permeability of the membrane to specific ions. Which of the following is true about the movement of ions across excitable living membranes? A second nerve impulse cannot be generated until ________.
