Stellate cells initially process sensory input to the cortex, whereas pyramidal cells send fibers from the cortex to terminate on efferent motor neurons. (True or false)
Neurons contain ________, which can receive signals from other neurons. a. axons b. mitochondria c. dendrites d. Golgibodies
View the University of Michigan Webscope (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nervefiber) to see an electron micrograph of a cross-section of a myelinated nerve fiber. The axon contains microtubules and neurofilaments, bounded by a plasma membrane known as the axolemma. Outside the plasma membrane of the axon is the myelin sheath, which is composed of the tightly wrapped plasma membrane of a Schwann cell. What aspects of the cells in this image react with the stain that makes them the deep, dark, black color, such as the multiple layers that are the myelin sheath?
Place each label in the proper position to designate the appropriate glial cell. Insulate neurons and enhance the rate of transmission in the PNS Produce and circulate CSF Macrophages of the CNS Surround and insulate cells of the PNS and found around the somas Form the myelin sheath in the PNS Most abundant CNS glial cells Form the myelin sheath in the CNS Multi-functioning cells involved with neurogenesis, scar formation, etc. Ciliated cells resembling epithelium Oligodendrocytes Ependymal Cells Microglia Astrocytes Schwann Cells Satellite Cells Reset
Which of the following is not true of glial cells? They are more numerous than neurons. They transmit information. They have diverse functions in support of neurons. They can be a cause of brain tumors.
Peripheral axons can mainly regenerate because of Astrocytes Schwann cells Construction of the neurolemma Oligodendrocytes All of the above are correct
Which of the following statements best describes the properties of a myelinated axons? The axon has an even distribution of ion channels but it is covered by layers of myelin apart from short sections termed the nodes of Ranvier where there is no myelin. The action potential is able to jump from node to node because the myelin sheath increases the length constant. There are very few ion channels underneath the myelin. The density of Na+ channels at the nodes of Ranvier is very high but there are no K+ channels in myelinated axons. The myelin sheath increases the rate of action potential conduction because the action potential underneath the myelin sheath travels faster than an action potential in an unmyelinated axon.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE concerning astrocytes? They are the most abundant glial cells They act as bridges between the blood vessels and neurons They form the myelin sheath around the axon They repair damage 1 points QUESTION 28 Damage to large numbers of oligodendrocytes in the CNS would result in loss of the structural framework of the brain. a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier. decreased production of cerebrospinal fluid. decreased insulation around axons. 1 points QUESTION 29 Which statement about lateral inhibition is false? It occurs via inhibitory neighbouring neurons. Neighboring input is inhibited from reaching the brain. It is characteristic only of receptors in the skin. It results in a sharpening of the sensation of contrast.
What type of glial cell is most important for the formation of the blood brain barrier? astrocytes microglia O ependymal cells O oligodendrocytes
Identify and label the following structures on the neuron model figure below: cell body, dendrites, neuron nucleus, neurolemma, axon hillock, nucleus of Schwann cell, Nissl bodies, myelin sheath, axon, node of Ranvier, axon terminals (of neurons synapsing with model neuron), endoneurium (refer to Figure 10.6). 3) 11
With the help of figure 12.6 on page 395 and the definitions below, label the following diagram of a typical neuron. axon - the long extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from myelin sheath - the fatty substance that surrounds and the body of the cell. axon terminals - the hair-like ends of node of Ranvier - one of the many gaps in the myelin the axon cell body - the cell body of the neuron; it contains the nucleus and other cell organelles dendrites - the branching structure of Schwann's cells - cells that produce myelin - they are a neuron that receives messages |(attached to the cell body) 1. protects some nerve fibers sheath – impulses jump from node to node resulting in faster transmission nucleus - the organelle in the cell body of the neuron that contains the genetic material of the cell located within the myelin sheath. ©EnchantedLearning.com Place an arrow along the diagram to indicate the direction that impulses travel long the neuron. 2.
Excitatory neurons A and B both synapse with neuron C. Neuron A releasesa neurotransmitter, and neuron B releases the same type and amount ofneurotransmitter plus a neuromodulator that produces EPSPs in neuron C.Action potentials produced in neuron A alone can result in action potentialproduction in neuron C. Action potentials produced in neuron B alone alsocan cause action potential production in neuron C. Which results in moreaction potentials in neuron C, stimulation by only neuron A or stimulationby only neuron B? Explain.
