O They deliver fuel molecules to neurons and remove the waste products of metabolism. O They are important for the growth and development of the nervous system. O They regulate the composition of the extracellular fluid in the CNS.

Researchers have designed a neuron that's unable to produce and release neurotransmitters. Can that neuron still have an action potential? Choose the answer with the correct answer and the correct reasoning. O No, action potentials need neurotransmitters to increase message speed O No, a neuron can't receive messages without its own neurotransmitters O No, a lack of neurotransmitters would leave a neuron unmyelinated O No, action potentials don't occur in the axon O Yes, action potentials don't require neurotransmitters:
In excitable cells, such as neurons, K+ is held at a much higher concentration inside the cell than outside. Which of the following would hold K+ at this concentration?
What is affected by the electrical signal sent by the third structure? (This will be the fourth structure in the arc.) Where is the cell body of the fourth structure located? What is affected by the electrical signal sent by the fourth structure? (This will be the fifth structure in the arc.) What does the fifth structure do in response to that electrical signal and how does this action protect you? Describe a situation where a reflex arc would be activated that is not described in your lesson. Assume that the reflex arc has five components to it. Please choose a reflex that involves a body part below the neck. (If you have trouble with this, do an internet search for information on reflex arcs.)
