Portage Learning - FINAL BIOD 152
Spring 2022.
This is a bundle of axons found in the peripheral nervous system.
Correct ANS- Nerve
This part of the autonomic system increases digestion.
Correct ANS- Parasympathetic
The dorsal root of a nerve contains what type of neurons?
Correct ANS- Sensory (afferent)
This part of a neuron conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Correct ANS- Axon
A neuron going to the bicep of the forearm is part of the:
A. central nervous system
B. peripheral nervous system
C. Autonomic system
D. Somatic system
E. A&C
F. B&D
Correct ANS- F. B&D
The neuron pictured, below, is best described as:
A. Bipolar
B. Multipolar
C. Unipolar
D. Pseudounipolar
Correct ANS- B. Multipolar
True or false: Neurons do not physically touch one another.
Correct ANS- True
Describe the synthesis and storage of neurotransmitters.
Correct ANS- The neuron cell body manufactures neurotransmitters, which are stored in
secretory vesicles at the end of axon terminals
An efferent neuron carries information:
A. From the central to the peripheral nervous system
B. From the peripheral to the central nervous system
C. Within the central nervous system
D. Within the peripheral nervous system
Correct ANS- A. From the central to the peripheral nervous system
A postsynaptic neuron would be found:
A. before the synapse
B. after the synapse
C. inside the synapse
D. Only in the central nervous system
Correct ANS- B. after the synapse
What is the location and function of Satellite cells?
Correct ANS- Location: peripheral nervous system (PNS)
Function: Regulation of environment of neuron cell bodies
A patient's spinal cord was severed in a car accident. Would the patient be expected to
regrow axons in their spinal cord? Why or why not?
Correct ANS- No, only the peripheral system axons are capable of regeneration. The
spinal cord is the central nervous system
Name and describe what is occurring in the neuron cell membrane in section 4 of the
diagram. Include the charge of the membrane during this phase. Correct ANS- This is
phase 4: afterpolarization (hyperpolarization), the potassium gates are slow to clse and
that results in an undershoot of the potential, the voltage will drop below -70mV and the
return to the restign state beings.
At rest, a neuron plasma membrane is:
