- What part of the nervous system produces the currents and voltages visualized with an EEG ? Individual cortical neurons Axons of many thalamic neurons Dendrites of many pyramidal neuronsarrow_forwardBackground: A doctor conducted a patellar tendon (aka knee jerk - covered in lecture, assigned reading, and laboratory) reflex test on a patient. To do so, she tested the patient's knee-jerk reflex by hitting the patient's patellar tendon with a rubber hammer. For this patient, the doctor observed that hitting the tendon caused no knee jerk reflex at all, even after many attempts. Normally, a patient will kick her lower leg after the hammer hit on the tendon. However, the doctor could stimulate contraction of the quadriceps leg muscles using a stimulating electrode that applied a voltage across the muscle. 1) During the examination, the patient got nervous. His heart rate increased. Which of the following would increase heart rate? Group of answer choices a)An increase in parasympathetic neural stimulation to the pacemaker node of the heart b)An increase in sympathetic neural stimulation to the pacemaker node of the heart c)An increase in acetylcholine release by motor neurons…arrow_forwardBackground: A doctor conducted a patellar tendon (aka knee jerk - covered in lecture, assigned reading, and laboratory) reflex test on a patient.

The doctor, with further analysis, determined that the receptor membranes of the stretch receptors were operating correctly.To do this, she carefully inserted an electrode into a stretch receptor's membrane, near to the location on the membrane where receptor proteins are located. She measured a change in voltage while hitting the tendon with the hammer. With further testing, the…arrow_forward
