BIO 201 Exam 4 | Questions and Answers Latest {2024- 2025} A+ Graded | 100% VerifiedIn multiple sclerosis, the cells that are the target of an autoimmune attack are the _________.
-neurons
-muscle cells
-Schwann cells
-oligodendrocytes - oligodendrocytes
Which mechanism allows the rabies virus to gain access to the central nervous system (CNS)?
-Rabies virus moves through the blood vessels to the CNS.
-The rabies virus uses retrograde movement along the neuronal axon. -The rabies virus uses
anterograde along the neuronal axon.
-The rabies virus enters the Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system and uses salutatory
movement to move toward the CNS. - the rabies virus uses retrograde movement along the neuronal
axon
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience many challenging symptoms. Which statement best
explains one cause of these difficulties?
-Damage to ependymal cells results in stagnation of cerebrospinal fluid, damaging neurons.
-A loss of astrocytes causes leaked neurotransmitters and K+ to accumulate, impairing generation of
action potentials.
-Loss of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system results in absence of the myelin sheath of
neuronal axons, impairing rapid saltatory conduction.
-An increase in the number of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system results in an overgrowth
of the myelin sheath of neuronal axons, resulting in abnormally large action potentials. - Loss of
oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system results in absence of the myelin sheath of neuronal
axons, impairing rapid saltatory conduction
People who have hydrocephaly often have an issue with which of these glial cell types?
-Oligodendrocytes
-Ependymal cells
,-Astrocytes
-Microglia - Ependymal cells
What division of the nervous system is most specifically responsible for voluntary motor control?
-parasympathetic nervous system
-somatic nervous system
-sympathetic nervous system
-central nervous system - somatic nervous system
Which of the following is NOT one of the basic functions of the nervous system?
-Integrate sensory input for decision making.
-Release hormones into the bloodstream that travel around the systemic blood circulation to
communicate with cells in multiple locations within the body.
-Generate direct, electrical signals.
-Decode sensory information from the environment. - Release hormones into the bloodstream that
travel around the systemic blood circulation to communicate with cells in multiple locations within the
body
The term central nervous system refers to the ________.
-spinal nerves
-somatic nerves
-sensory (afferent) nerves

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of neurons?
-They are mitotic.
-They conduct impulses.
-They have an exceptionally high metabolic rate.
-They have extreme longevity. - They are mitotic
Which of the following describes the nervous system integrative function?
-senses changes in the environment
-analyzes sensory information, stores information, makes decisions -responds to stimuli by gland
secretion or muscle contraction - analyzes sensory information, stores information, makes decisions
