the basic functional units of the nervous system are individual cells called

supporting the cells of the nervous system, called neuralgia, perform all of the following except

what is the term for the nervous system comprising all neurons outside the brain and spinal cord

the autonomic nervous system provides regulation of each of the following except

which of the following is NOT a basic function of the nervous system

neurons are classified on the basis of structure as each of the following except

the multipolar neuron consists of all of the following excepr

the axons of some neurons are wrapped in an insulating sheath made of

the insulating sheath is interrupted at regular intervals, exposing the neural membrane. these interruptions are called ? of ranvier

neurons use ? to carry information from the cell body to the synaptic terminal

an action potential is a change in membrane potential during ? of a neuron

where in a neuron is the highest density of voltage gated sodium channels found

events that make initiation of an action potential less likely are

which of the following is a correct step in the generation of an action potential

from the time an action potential begins until the normal resting potential has stabilised, the membrane will not respond normally to additional depolarising stimuli, this period is known as the

in a neural action potential repolarisation involves the loss of ? ions

the ? exchange pump slowly restores intracellular and extracellular ion distribution to pre stimulation levels when the neuron is not active

an action potential is delayed along the axon of a neuron in a series of steps, with action potentials in one section of the axon bringing the adjacent region to ? and handing on the impulse

continuous propagation is the basic mechanism by which an action potential is propagated along a ? appearing to move along the membrane in a series of tiny steps

where action potentials jump along the axon in a series of steps, this is known as

electrical impulses are passed from neurons or other cells at a specialised junction called

electrical synapses are rare and occur when presymaptic and postsynaptic membranes are locked together tightly by

in a chemical synapse, communication across the synaptic cleft requires the release of a ? from the presynaptic membrane

according to the lock and key model, the same neurotransmitter may act on

substance start can bind to a receptor are called ligands. ligands that block or reduce neurotransmitter action are called

neurotransmitters that may be either excitatory or inhibitory depending on the postsynaptic receptor are called ? neurotransmitter

ACh is the neurotransmitter of the neuromuscular junction, the specialised synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle, where it acts on the ? ACh receptor

which of the following is not an accurate event at the cholinergic synapse

when signals from another nerve terminal at the presynaptic membrane causes a decreased release of neurotransmitter, it is called

an excitory postsynaptic potential is a ? caused by the arrival of a neurotransmitter

individual postsynaptic potentials can combine by the process of summation, which integrates the effect of

the addition of stimuli occurring in rapid succession is called

a reflex arc contains each of the following except

the region of the brain which performs higher functions and planning and execution of voluntary motor action is called the

the electroencephalogram provides a clinical assessment of overall brain function, and records each of the following except

the ? is an area of the brain responsible for maintenance of homeostasis by controlling behaviours essential to survival of the individual or species via hormones and the sympathetic nervous system

activation of the ? branch of the autonomic nervous system causes rest and repose responses, associated with relative inactivity and digestion

a number of organs have ? by both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, with opposite effects

the principle neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system, which may act on alpha and beta reception is

the principle neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic system is ? acting on muscarinic receptors

what is the relationship between action potentials abs graded potentials

why do voltage regulated K+ channels not need to inactivate

which feature of voltage regulated ion channels is responsible for neurons refractory period

why can an action potential not be initiated during the refractory period?

why does continuous propagation of the action potential not occur in the myelinated axons

why do action potentials travel along distances while graded potentials do not

what determines the duration of an action potential

which of the following cannot initiate a graded potential

pick the correct statement. at a chemical synapse

what terminates transmission at the cholinergic synapse?

pick the correct statement. slow postsynaptic receptors

what function of neurons is performed by summation

why do alkalosis and acidosis affect neural impulse conduction

atropine binds to muscarinic acteylcholine receptors and prevents their activation by acteylcholine. Thai means it acts as an

selective serotonin regulator inhibitors prolong the action of serotonin (5HT) at a synapse by preventing its removal from the synaptic cleft. this means they act as

Parkinson’s diseases is caused by deficient dopamine pathways in the brain. it is therefore best treated with
