Document Summary

You see a bunch of different colors and you have one common nerve and you attach it to an electrode, every time a base note is hitting, you will see the chromoferes being released. Actual nervous system is like a circuit board, you can pass the electricity from an electron server to a living organism. This is all because of changes of membrane potential\ In a cell, you will have a resting membrane potential thatwill vary. If there is in flux of more postivie ions and cells become more + on the inside. =depolarization, if its negative on the inside called repolarization. Your gonna have a lot more na on the outside and k on the inside. The sodium potassium pump is gonna be regulating the amouints which lead to a resting membrane potential. With regards your gonna have a more on the inside because you have + outside.

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding sea anemones?

	None of the answer options is correct.
	Spongesânot sea anemonesâpossess what is considered to be the âsimplestâ nervous system found in animals.
	Because sea anemones are âsimpleâ organisms, these animals only possess motor neurons; sensory neurons or interneurons are never found in sea anemones.
	Although sea anemones possess ânet-likeâ nervous systems, these animals have brains located at their bases (near where they would attach to rocks).
	Although sea anemones lack definitive brains, they do possess ganglia that serve a similar function to the paired ganglia of flatworms.

Some people have low levels of calcium circulating in the blood, a condition known as hypocalcemia. While for many this disorder has little to no effect, for some it can be life-threatening. How could low levels of calcium harm an individual?

	Low levels of calcium would not have any effect on synaptic transmission.
	Low levels of calcium would cause sustained depolarization of the presynaptic cell.
	Low levels of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between the pre- and postsynaptic cell.

Cephalization is: the

	All of these choices are correct.
	development of a brain within the head of an animal.
	concentration of sensory organs within the head end of an animal.
	development of a âhead endâ in an organism.

Which of the following are TRUE about the resting membrane potential? (Select all that apply.)

	It results from voltage-gated sodium channels remaining open for long periods of time.
	It results from K⁺ ions diffusing out of the cell.
	It results from the sodium-potassium pump moving more Na⁺ ions out of the cell than K⁺ ions into the cell.
