Question
Chapter 13.4, Problem 10AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The part that acts as the sensory relay center of the brain and as a link between the nervous system and the endocrine system.
Introduction:
The forebrain of the early embryo divides into the telencephalon in the adult brain. The telencephalon becomes the cerebrum and the diencephalon. The diencephalon connects the brainstem to the cerebrum. It is mainly divided into four components: thalamus, subthalamus, epithalamus, and hypothalamus.

- Which statement is TRUE about the synapse? Neurotransmitters shuttle the signal back and forth between the pre- and post-synaptic cell. The pre-synaptic cell and post-synaptic cell are in direct contact, allowing the electrical signal to seamlessly flow from one to the other. The action potential jumps from the pre-synaptic cell into the post-synaptic cell. The action potential ends in the pre-synaptic cell and neurotransmitters carry the signal across the synaptic cleft to the post-synaptic cell.arrow_forwardWhat physiological changes would you expect in a patient who is about to undergo a root canal procedure and is quite anxious about it?arrow_forwardHow are signals transmitted from one end of a nerve cell to the other, and from one neuron to another?arrow_forward
- What are the main functions of the sensory-somatic nervous system?arrow_forwardWhat are the main differences between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system?arrow_forwardYou hit the gym, releasing dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin in your brain. What are these three things? Explain how these three things are transmitted and retained in the brain, and how these three things impact our body (Hint: a good answer should include the terms neuron, dendrite, axon, action potential, and synapse)arrow_forward
- How does an action potential in the presynaptic neuron trigger a response in the postsynaptic neuron? The action potential causes the release of signaling molecules from the presynaptic neuron that bind receptors and stimulates changes in gene expression in the postsynaptic neuron The action potential "jumps" across the synapse and is continued in the postsynaptic neuron The action potential causes the release of Ca++ ions in the postsynaptic neuron, which bind to ligand-gated channels that begin an action potential in that neuron The action potential ultimately triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the pre-synaptic neuron that bind to and open ligand-gated channels in the post-synaptic neuronarrow_forward* The hypothalamic neurons that supply the structure that contain the asterisk: a. Synapse directly on their target b. Release hormone into the hypophyseal portal blood stream c. Contain neurosecretory granules that accumulate in axon swellings d. Release either growth hormone or prolactin|arrow_forwardwhat about the neurofascin?arrow_forward
- Which of the following is the role of axonal Calcium (Ca2+) channels in neuronal communication at the synapse? a) they inhibit the action potential causing it to stop b) Calcium channels have no role in this process c) by allowing calcium to exit the cell, they promote the propagation of action potential across the synapse by creating depolarization d) by blocking calcium entrance, they mediate the contraction of presynaptic axon to facilitate movement e) when they open, calcium enters the presynaptic terminal, promoting fusion of neurotransmitter vesicles with presynaptic membrane, and release of neurotransmitters to the synaptic cleftarrow_forwardWhat is the role of neurotransmitters in the nervous system?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about action potentials and information transmission in the synaptic cleft is FALSE? 1. Action potentials determine the amount of neurotransmitters that are released into the synaptic cleft 2.Action potentials ultimately result in more calcium leaving the target cell at the postsynaptic membrane 3. Action potentials determine the duration that neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft 4. Action potentials ultimately result in more calcium entering the neuron at the axon terminalarrow_forward
