- The Purkinje cell is an example of this type of neuron. sensory neuron pyramidal neuron Oprincipal neuron Obipolar neuronarrow_forwardThe membrane of a neuron is vital to its ability to respond to signals from other neurons. Which of the following statements about this membrane is NOT accurate It ensures that the interior of the cell has a slightly positive charge at rest. It is selectively permeable, allowing ions to move in and out of the cell. It contains different types of specialized protein ion channels. It is made of two layers of lipids (fat molecules)arrow_forwardAll of the following are true for neurons EXCEPT neurons must produce many proteins neurons are electrically excitable cells neurons have a relatively high consumption of oxygen neurons undergo mitosisarrow_forward
- The neuron cell is made up of which of the following parts? Axon Dendrite Soma All of the abovearrow_forwardNeuron cells are a uniquely specialized type of cell. The following diagram illustrates the special structures of a neuron cell. Use the dropdown menus to label the structures where indicated. What are labels 1-6? options: axon terminals, nucleus, myelin sheath, dendrites, cell body, axon. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is not true about neurons? When there is no active nerve impulse, the concentration of Na+ ions outside of the cell is greater than inside the cell After a nerve impulse passes a region of the axon, that region will not be able to carry another impulse again for a brief period of time When a nerve impulse occurs, sodium channels in the axon open first, followed by potassium channels The inside of an axon is typically negatively charged compared to the outside of an axon The cell uses energy to actively pump Na+ ions into the axon and K+ ions out of the axon.arrow_forward

- The above repolarization of a neuron will result in which of the following ionic currents? a potassium current will transport K+ ions out of the cytoplasm a sodium current will transport Na+ ions out of the cytoplasm a potassium current will transport K+ ions into the cytoplasm a sodium current will transport Na+ ions into the cytoplasm a sodium current will transport K+ ions into the cytoplasmarrow_forwardThe image attached below depicts a histological slice of human cerebral cortex tissue.Using knowledge of the central nervous system and various cell-cell interactions, identify thekey type(s) of cell junctions present in this image (for example, tight junctions, gap junctions, and adherens junctions/desmosomes). Briefly describe the function of these celljunctions. How would the function of the central nervous system be impaired if your above identified celljunctions were disrupted?arrow_forwardWhich of the following BEST explains the inside negative potential in resting neurons? sodium flows down its electrochemical gradient through sodium-selective channels that are open in resting neurons membrane transporters produce a large sodium concentration gradient by selectively accumulating sodium ions outside the cell the membrane of a resting neuron is more permeable to potassium ions than to other ions present a larger concentration of chloride ions are found inside the cell making the inside of the cell more negative compared to the outside of the cellarrow_forward
