Excitatory synapses make the post-synaptic cell less likely to fire. - ANSWER-False The neural tissues are: - ANSWER-Spinal cord, sensory neurons, and brain How do the glial cells (i.e., myelin sheath) speed up the firing of neurons? - ANSWER-The cell wraps extensions of a fatty insulating substance (myelin) around the axons of neurons. The action potential is: - ANSWER-A result of the movement of ions. Receptors are made from membrane-bound polyribosomes. - ANSWER-True List the 4...

EEG pros correct answer: Excellent time resolution - Cognitive, perceptual, linguistic, emotional processes are fast and dynamic - For example, consider theta band (4-8 Hz), a slow rhythm but quite fast for our conscious experience - Or consider gamma (30 -80 Hz) Direct indicator of neuronal activity Multidimensional (time, space, frequency, power, phase, connectivity etc) Portability (observing brain in action) Relatively inexpensive EEG cons correct answer: It is not well-s...

LCDC EXAM STUDY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALL CORRECT Two main types of cells in the nervous system - Answer-glia and neurons Glia - Answer-Cells that out number neurons, cannot process information like neurons, make up the blood brain barrier that protects the brain from toxic chemicals in the blood Nervous system - Answer-Consists of neurons, axons and receptors Receptors - Answer-Proteins that help regulate activity of cells in the nervous system. Activation of receptors by neurotrans...

RAPID-adapting mechanoreceptors - ️️Meissner and Pacinian (dynamic phase QUICKLY becomes static phase) dorsal root ganglion (DRG) - ️️(part of the PNS) cluster of cell bodies in the dorsal root of a spinal nerve (when the action potential reaches the DRG, it splits into 2 - one travels toward the cell body and the other continues down the axon) dorsal horn - ️️the POSTERIOR column of grey matter in the spinal cord (shape differs depending on spinal segment) - contains SENSORY n...
