Select all of the statements from the list below that are true.
Within a single axon, an action potential is always of the same magnitude. (In other words, it always looks the same on a trace of the membrane potential.)
All excitatory post-synaptic potentials trigger an action potential.
Graded potentials are always hyperpolarizing.
The action potential always moves in one direction along an axon.
Integration of sensory information is a major function of the central nervous system.
All axons in the body are myelinated.
Your nervous system is organized into two broad anatomical divisions: the central nervous system (consisting of the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Your PNS is further organized into two functional divisions. If you tap your knee, the signal to act is carried via your to the muscles in your knee. In contrast, the signals that pass via the are involuntary and act primarily to regulate your body's internal environment. This involuntary nerve system is further organized into three divisions. If you need a sudden burst of energy, your is activated to help you act quickly. In contrast, if you are relaxing and conserving energy, then it is your that is primarily in action. The third division is your which helps control the components of the digestive system.
Two separate post-synaptic interneurons receive synaptic potentials from afferent neurons in the periphery. The dendrites of one these interneurons receive an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP) and an inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP) of equal magnitude at the same time. The dendrites of the other interneuron receive one excitatory post-synaptic potential that is the same sized as the EPSP and IPSP received by the other interneuron

- a channel can be gated mechanically, voltage or by a ligand. When you hear a sound all three of these type channels are being utilized. Explain generally where/how each of these channels are being utilized starting from hearing the sound, through travelling down a nerve to transmission to another nerve.arrow_forwardHow can the sympathetic nervous system have contrasting effects in a target organ without dual innervation?arrow_forwardMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a disorder that causes the destruction of myelin sheaths surrounding neurons. People with MS display many symptoms, including slurred speech, double vision, and poor muscle coordination. What is the direct effect of MS on nerve impulse transmission? Select one: The movement of impulses along neurons is slower than normal. Dendrites cannot be stimulated by acetylcholine, therefore impulses are not generated in neurons. The threshold level of stimulation for neurons is greater than normal. Axons cannot sectete acetylcholine, therefore impulses are not able to travel across synapses. Oarrow_forward
- The autonomous nervous system regulates involuntary functions of the body and can be subdivided into the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system. Both of these systems control the same group of body functions, but have opposite effects on the functions they regulate. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity like the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has the opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions. Which of the following involuntary effects in the body are brought about by the sympathetic nervous system during a fight-or- flight situation? i. Increased salivation ii. Increased digestion ii. Loss of bowel and bladder control iv. Body shivering Сrying Pupil dilation B. i, iv and v V. vi.
