feeling of nausea and vomiting

Which of the following represents the normal order of activation in neuronal transmission?

dendrite--> cell body--> axon --> terminal button

The interior of a neuron at rest

is negatively charged relative to the outside

Movement of the axon membrane potential from -70mV to -90mV would be termed a(n)

depolarization

The membrane voltage level at which an action potential is triggered is termed the

threshold of excitation

An electrical charge applied to an axon that moves the membrane potential from -70mV to +45mV will result in a(n)

action potential

The process by which molecules are evenly distributed throughout a medium is

diffusion

The process by which similarly charged particles repel each other and are thus distributed throughout a medium is termed

electrostatic pressure

In a resting nerve cell, which of the forces listed below will act to push sodium ions into the cell?

diffusion and electrostatic pressure

Sensory stimuli that vary in intensity are coded by variations in the _____ of a neuron

firing rate

Ions enter and leave the membrane of a myelinated axon at the

nodes of Ranvier

Saltatory conduction is rapid because

the action potential does not have to depolarize every segment of the axon membrane

dendrite, soma, and axon

Synaptic vesicles are produced in the ____ and transported to the _____

soma; axon terminal

A key event for the release of neurotransmitter from the presynaptic membrane is the

arrival of an action potential at the axon terminal

Match up the receptor type with its action

metabotropic; G-protein activation leads to activation of a 2nd messenger

An auto receptor is located on the _____ and is sensitive to the ______

presynaptic membrane; the transmitter released by that neuron

The process which terminates the postsynaptic potentials induced by most neurotransmitters is

reuptake of the molecule into the axon terminal

The process which termites the postsynaptic potentials induces by acetylcholine is

enzymatic degradation via AChE

A drug that inactivated AChE would be expected to

prolong the effects of ACh in the synapse

Which of the following is true regarding the action potential AP?

The correct answer is c. An action potential, once started, cannot be stopped or negated.

Which are properties of action potentials?

An action potential has three phases: depolarization, overshoot, repolarization.

What is an action potential?

An action potential is a rapid sequence of changes in the voltage across a membrane. The membrane voltage, or potential, is determined at any time by the relative ratio of ions, extracellular to intracellular, and the permeability of each ion.

Which statement is true regarding the neuron synapse quizlet?

Which statement is true regarding the neuron synapse? Binding of a neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic neuron membrane can generate an action potential in the neuron.
