UTA Anatomy Final Questions with Correct
Answers | Updated (100% Correct Answers)
Myelinated Answer: myelin is an insulating layer, which conducts
signals through the axon at a much faster speed
EPSPs Answer: are graded potentials that can initiate an AP in the
axon, produce a graded potential that lessens the chance of an AP
in an axon. - small depolarization is created
IPSPs Answer: produce a graded potential that lessens the chance
of an AP in an axon. - small hyperpolarization is created.
Clusters of RER and free ribosomes in neurons are called Answer:
nissl bodies
At the normal resting potential of a neuron, its Na K ion exchange
pump transports Answer: 3 intracellular sodium ions for 2
extracellular potassium ions
The site in the neuron where EPSPs and IPSBs are most commonly
integrated is Answer: the axon hilcock
Spatial Summation- Answer: 2 synapses required to induce EPSPs
EPSP Answer: excitatory postsynaptic potential
IPSP Answer: inhibitory postsynaptic potential
