Document Summary

Neurons and glial cells form the foundation of the nervous system. Cells and their products are organized into tissues and these tissues are organized into organs and these organs are organized into organ systems. The cell theory all organic beings are composed of individual cells. Cajal doctrine says that each neuron is a separate cell and is the fundamental building block of the nervous system. He also came up with the idea that there the neural connections had a predetermined design. Specific nerve energies theory our sensory experience is determined by the pathway it"s carried on. They also found that in the majority of neurons, information flows one way through a neuron. The dendrite receives the information and passes it through the cell body to the axon. Axons send that information away from the cell body to the next insertion. Cell structure and function: molecules 4 classes of molecules, carbohydrates or glycogen .

65. Where is bloodstream PCO2 monitored?

(a) lungs (b) aortic and carotid bodies (c) hypothalamus

66. Is PCO2 measured within the CNS?

(a) no (b) yes, within the brainstem (c) yes, within the hypothalamus

67. Is PO2 measured within the CNS?

(a) no (b) yes, within the brainstem (c) yes, throughout the brain

68. Glomus organs are innervated by sensory neurons. Are these sensory neurons stimulated byneurotransmitters released from Type I glomus cells?

yes or no

69. Does the structure of glomus organs enable direct sampling of arterial blood?

yes or no

70. Glomus organs are innervated by myelinated axons. Such axons are found within cranial nerve pairs IX andX (glossopharyngeal and vagus). Which type of glial cell myelinates axons within these nerve pairs?

(a) oligodendrocyte (b) fibrous astrocyte (c) Schwann cell

71. The sensory neuron axons that innervate glomus organs enter the CNS via the left and right solitary tracts. Where are the bodies of these sensory neurons?

(a) within the glomus organ (b) a ganglion at the base of each nerve (c) within the brainstemâs solitary nuclei

72. The term hypercapnia denotes elevated bloodstream PCO2. This condition induces acidemia, i.e. an arterialpH < 7.4. By convention, the underlying physiological reason (or process) is called acidosis. Consequently,acidemia can arise from either metabolic or respiratory acidosis. Ketogenesis and hypoventilation affordexamples of such processes. If arterial pH reaches 7.0, then CNS depression and coma follow. Acidemia iscountered by an autonomic reflex. Where does central integration occur for this reflex?

(a) sensory cortex (b) brainstem (c)hypothalamus

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.

Afferent and efferent neurons differ in:

	their size.
	the directionality of the information they send.

	interneuron.
	homeostatic neuron.
	motor neuron.
	sensory neuron.

Which of the following is NOT the role of an interneuron?

	stimulating a muscle to contract
	conveying information from the internal environment of an animal
