False
Question 8
pts
Describe the function and release of neurotransmitters.
• Neurotransmitters are chemicals stored inside secretory vesicles (axon terminal
vesicles) at the end of the axon terminals.
• When neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal vesicles, they carry the
transmission of the nerve impulse from one neuron to another.

Question 12
pts
A patient’s left thumb was severed in a cooking accident and then reattached during surgery.
Would the patient be expected to regrow axons in their thumb? Why or why not?
• Yes; Peripheral nerves can regenerate the length of the axon through axonal
regeneration because of the growth of Schwann cells ahead of the axon.

pts
