Yes; Peripheral nerves can regenerate the length of the axon through
axonal regeneration because of the growth of Schwann cells ahead of
the axon.


10.Name and describe what is occurring in the neuron cell membrane in
section 2 of the diagram. Include the charge of the membrane during this
phase.:


Depolarization: The sodium gates open and sodium rushes into the
axon during the depolarization phase of the action potential.

False. The action potential is always the same. The frequency and
number of nuerons activated change the increase in intensity.


14.Which of the following statements is false concerning the
neuromuscular junction?:


Ach is released from the presynaptic motor neuron to cause an action
potential in the muscle fiber.


15.How is a message sent from one neuron to another?:
