ANP 1106
Prepare for the ANP 1106 – Final Exam with this focused study
resource designed to reinforce key anatomy and physiology
concepts. It reviews body systems, essential structures,
physiological functions, and exam-style questions to support
effective revision. Suitable for students studying anatomy and
physiology or health science programs.

ANSWER ....... 1. must be released by the presynaptic
action potential
2. must have a postsynaptic receptor
Name the types of neurotransmitter ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER
....... peptides, gases and lipids, purines, amino acids
biogenic amines and acetylcholine
What are the most common neurotransmitters in the CNS?
✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... 1. Glutamate (excitatory)
, Page 2 of 44
2. GABA (inhibitory)
The action of a neurotransmitter depends on its? ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... Receptor
Ionotropic ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... opens up a channel
metabotropic ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... doesn't open a
channel instead it activates a G protein to preform a
cascade
Is acetylcholine's effect on nicotinic receptors to depolarize
skeletal muscle cells inhibitory or excitatory? ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... excitatory
Is acetylcholine's effect on muscarinic receptors hyper
polarize cardiac muscle cells inhibitory or excitatory? ✓ ✓
...... ANSWER ....... inhibitory
Summation ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... adding of all of the
signal
, Page 3 of 44
temporal summation ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... one
neuron over a long period of time
spatial summation ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... all of the
neurons at one particular time
The electrical properties of neurons allow communication
through the connections forming... ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER .......
circuits
diverging circuit ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... diverge to
spread signals to several neurons
converging circuit ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... integrate
signals from several neurons
reverberate circuits ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... to hold
information in memory and produce parallel after-
discharges to produce a longer-lasting effect
, Page 4 of 44
3 methods to classify the sensory receptors ✓ ✓ ......
ANSWER ....... 1. anatomical location
2. complexity
3. type of stimulus
transduction ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... where the energy
of the stimulus is transformed into electric activity
what are the 2 types of potentials produced by stimulation?
✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... 1. the stimulus produces the
opening of ionic channels which then produce a
depolarization named receptor potential
2. depolarization beyond the threshold of excitation
produces the opening of voltage-gated channels which then
produce an action potential.
The frequency of action potential discharge. corresponds to
the... ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... intensity of the stimulus
adaptation ✓ ✓ ...... ANSWER ....... The initial response
of a receptor decreases after a period of time
