5 Matching Questions

  1. Nodes of Ranvier
  2. Central process
  3. Axon hillock
  4. neuron function
  5. Visceral afferent fibers
  1. a Convey impulses from visceral organs
  2. b Entering the CNS
  3. c -neurons are highly irritable
    - respond to adequate stimulus by generating an action potential (nerve impulse)
    - impulse is the same regardless of stimulus
  4. d - myelin sheath gaps btwn adjacent schwann cells
    - sites where axon collateral can emerge
  5. e Cone shaped area from which axon arises

5 Multiple Choice Questions

  1. - segmented protein lipoid sheath around most long or large diameter axons
    - protect and electrically insulate the axon
    - increase speed of nerve impulse transmission
  2. Supporting cells
    - astrocytes (CNS)
    - microglia (CNS)
    - ependymal cells (CNS)
    - oligodendrocytes (CNS)
    - satellite cells (PNS)
    - Schwann cells (PNS)
  3. open and close in response to changes in membrane potential
  4. Interpretation of sensory input
  5. Toward cell body (organelles to be degraded, signal molecules, viruses, and bacterial toxins

5 True/False Questions

  1. Somatic (voluntary) nervous systemConscious control of skeletal muscles

          

  2. Axon function-neurons are highly irritable
    - respond to adequate stimulus by generating an action potential (nerve impulse)
    - impulse is the same regardless of stimulus

          

  3. Peripheral nervous system (PNS)-Paired spinal and cranial nerves
    - carry messages to and from the CNS
    - sensory (afferent) division
    -motor (efferent) division

          

  4. Myelin sheath in CNS- schwann cells wraps many times around the axon
    - neurilemma
    - nodes of ranvier
    - concentric layers of Schwann cell membrane

          

  5. NeuronsExcitable cells that transmits electrical signals
