Document Summary

Second mastering biology assignment: human brains contain many neurons but most are interneurons, a sensory neuron will interact with a motor neuron at the sensory neuron"s axon terminals. 3: a weight liter"s skeletal muscles are controlled by neurons because their signals cross a gap to. If the membrane potenial is at -70mv, a decrease in the movement of potassium ions out of that neuron"s cytoplasm might result in the depolarizaion of the neuron. 8: na+/k+ atpase moves sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, a caion that is a more prevalent solute in the cytosol of a neuron than it is outside the neuron is. The synapic vesicles release neurotransmiter into the synapic clet. Neurotransmiter binds with receptors associated with the postsynapic membrane. Calcium is released and binds to the troponin complex. Tropomyosin shits and unblocks the cross-bridge binding sites.

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

	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.

Another name for (13) is the (14) _____ _____ _____; it represents an ability for the membrane to be disturbed.

The junction specialized for the transmission between a neuron and another cell is called a (1) _____ ______. Usually, the signal being sent to the receiving cell is carried by chemical messengers called (2) _____. (3) _____ is an example of this type of chemical messenger, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft, combines with protein receptor molecules on the muscle cell membrane, and soon thereafter is rapidly broken down by enzymes. At an (4) ____ synapse, the membrane potential is driven toward the threshold value and increases the likelihood that depolarization and an action potential will occur. At an (5) ____ synapse, the membrane potential is driven away form the threshold value, and the receiving neuron becomes hyperpolarized and is less likely to achieve an action potential.
