d. Knowledge is created through sensory experiences.
2. Why is it often useful to use both EEG and fMRI in a study?

areas.
b. fMRI is accurate with the moment of activity and with EEG you can see the active
areas.
c. EEG is accurate with the moment of activity and with fMRI you can see the specific
active neurons.

active neurons.

a. A= peptides, B= proteins, C= amino acids.
b. A= amino acids, B= proteins, C= peptides.
c. A= proteins, B= amino acids, C=peptides.
d. A= proteins, B= peptides, C= amino acids.

soma to the terminal knots (anterogade) the neurotransmitters are transported by: A. From the
terminal knots to the soma (retrogade) the neurotransmitters are pre-enerted by: B.
a. A= kinesin, B= dynein
b. A= myosin, B= kinesin

b. rRNA
c. mRNA
d. tRNA
, 7. Which of the following claims are correct?
I. Schwann cells can surround several axons at once, while oligodendrocytes can only
surround one axon at a time.
II. Oligodendrocytes form myelin sheaths in CNS, Schwann cells in PNS.
a. Claim 1 is correct
b. Claim 2 is correct
c. Both claims are correct
d. Both claims are false

immunological defense and the removal of dead cells. Of the (B) are three variants, these three
all aim to
a. A= oligodendrocytes, B= astrocytes
b. A= astrocytes, B= oligodendrocytes
c. A= macroglia, B= microglia
d. A= microglia, B= macroglia

system is still intact. This patient can...
a. Make correct eye and head movements, but cannot recognize objects.

c. As far as he knows he can’t see, but without being conscious of it, he gets information
