You are recording from neurons in a non-human primate and have noticed that these neurons fire in response to the animal waving its right hand as well as when the animal is watching you wave your right hand. What kind of neurons are they? cerebellar neurons primary motor neurons supplementary motor neurons premotor neurons substantia nigra neurons

After hitting your thumb accidentally with a hammer, you quickly withdraw your hand. You donot feel pain for a short period of time. This sequence of events may be explained by the fact that theA. threshold of the receptor has been so greatly exceeded that the neuron does not pass themessage to the brainB. neural impulse is so large that the brain is unable to interpret the signal because it is beyond therange of toleranceC. neural processing occurred in the spinal cord first, which caused you to quickly remove yourthumb from further damageD. sensory receptors in the thumb were damaged by the blow and are unable to initiate a stimulusto the sensory nerve
If a mosquito bites you in the forearm, action potentials will have to reach the CNS before you can perceive the bite and react by swatting the mosquito. Which one of the following is the correct sequence of events that takes place from the time the mosquito bites you until you swat it? O somatic sensory receptors, afferent division, primary somatosensory cortex, primary motor cortex, efferent division, SNS, skeletal muscles O visceral sensory receptors, afferent division, primary somatosensory cortex, primary motor cortex, efferent division, SNS, skeletal muscles somatic sensory receptors, efferent division, primary somatosensory cortex, primary motor cortex, afferent division, SNS, skeletal muscles special sensory receptors, afferent division, primary somatosensory cortex, primary motor cortex, efferent division, SNS, skeletal muscles
3. Reflex arc hilial stimulus musde stretch) Match the descriptions of steps of a reflex arc with the labeled diagram above: Located in the CNS, this structure receives sensory impulses and sends out motor impulses This cell delivers nerve impulses to an effector organ This structure contracts as a result of a stimulus _F_ This structure responds to a stimulus This cell delivers nerve impulses to the CNS
Somatic sensory and somatic motor information are propagated via specialized neurons. If you dip your toes in a hot tub before entering the tub, the action potentials generated by the water temperature travels via which of the following structures before it can be perceived by you? O unipolar neurons from the toes to the spinal nerve, ventral root, spinal cord, thalamus, primary somatosensory cortex O unipolar neurons from the toes to the spinal nerve, dorsal root, spinal cord, thalamus, primary somatosensory cortex O multipolar neurons from the toes to the spinal nerve, ventral root, spinal cord, thalamus, primary somatosensory cortex O multipolar neurons from the toes to the spinal nerves, dorsal root, spinal cord, thalamus, primary somatosensory cortex
Gray matter in the spinal cord seems that color because the cells are dead O contains the myelinated axons of motor neurons O contains the cell bodies and myelinated axons of sensory neurons contains the cell bodies of motor neurons
Bob suffers a heart attack and clutches his chest. How is sensory and motor information propagated in this event Group of answer choices both sensory and motor information from his arms are propagated via spinal nerves multipolar neurons carrying motor information to the muscles of his arm exited the dorsal root of the spinal nerve unipolar neurons carrying sensory information from his heart entered the ventral root of the spinal nerve somatic sensory neurons carried the pain signals from his heart to the primary sensory cortex
What function do unipolar neurons provide and where is their cell body found? They are motor neurons with their cell body in the central nervous system They are sensory neurons with their cell body located in the central nervous system They are motor neurons with their cell body located outside of the central nervous system They are sensory neurons with their cell body located outside of the central nervous system
Excitatory neurons A and B both synapse with neuron C. Neuron A releasesa neurotransmitter, and neuron B releases the same type and amount ofneurotransmitter plus a neuromodulator that produces EPSPs in neuron C.Action potentials produced in neuron A alone can result in action potentialproduction in neuron C. Action potentials produced in neuron B alone alsocan cause action potential production in neuron C. Which results in moreaction potentials in neuron C, stimulation by only neuron A or stimulationby only neuron B? Explain.
An individual diagnosed with CMT has difficulty holding a cup because: a. The myelin in the motor neurons is damaged thereby preventing an impulse frommoving along the axonb. The myelin in the sensory neurons is damaged thereby preventing an impulse frommoving along the axonc. The dendrites in the motor neurons are damaged thereby preventing an impulse frommoving along the axond. The dendrites in the sensory neurons are damaged thereby preventing an impulse frommoving along the axon
Could you please draw the Paypez circuit as a loop and not inside the brain? The circuit goes through the following neural pathways: Hippocampal formation (subiculum) → fornix → mammillary bodies → mammillothalamic tract → anterior thalamic nucleus → cingulum → entorhinal cortex → hippocampal formation.
Watch this short video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/stationtest) to see a test for station. Station refers to the position a person adopts when they are standing still. The examiner would look for issues with balance, which coordinates proprioceptive, vestibular, and visual information in the cerebellum. To test the ability of a subject to maintain balance, asking them to stand or hop on one foot can be more demanding. The examiner may also push the subject to see if they can maintain balance. An abnormal finding in the test of station is if the feet are placed far apart. Why would a wide stance suggest problems with cerebellar function?
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neuroexam2) for an introduction to the neurological exam. Studying the neurological exam can give insight into how structure and function in the nervous system are interdependent. This is a tool both in the clinic and in the classroom, but for different reasons. In the clinic, this is a powerful but simple tool to assess a patientâ€™s neurological function. In the classroom, it is a different way to think about the nervous system. Though medical technology provides noninvasive imaging and real-time functional data, the presenter says these cannot replace the history at the core of the medical examination. What does history mean in the context of medical practice?
