UTA ANATOMY FINAL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
2026/2027
Myelinated - ANS myelin is an insulating layer, which conducts signals through the axon at a
much faster speed
EPSPs - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS nissl bodies
At the normal resting potential of a neuron, its Na K ion exchange pump transports - ANS 3
intracellular sodium ions for 2 extracellular potassium ions
The site in the neuron where EPSPs and IPSBs are most commonly integrated is - ANS the
axon hilcock
Spatial Summation- - ANS 2 synapses required to induce EPSPs
@2026 ALLRIGHTS RESERVED 1
,EPSP - ANS excitatory postsynaptic potential
IPSP - ANS inhibitory postsynaptic potential
If the sodium potassium pump in the plasma membrane fails, something that would NOT
happen would be - ANS rise in intracellular Potassium K ions
Ventral Root of spinal nerve contains - ANS cell bodies of motor neuron
Afferent- - ANS sensory neurons that carry nerve impulses from sensory stimuli towards the
central nervous system and brain
Sensory - ANS Afferent
efferent neurons - ANS are motor neurons that carry neural impulses away from the central
nervous system and towards muscles to cause movement
Motor - ANS Efferent
Cross Extensor Reflex compliments the flexor reflex by - ANS activating contralateral muscles
Spinal Tap- needle is punctured through - ANS subarachnoid space
Loss of feeling in lower body is an indicator that the ________ part of the spinal cord is
compressed - ANS Ascending Tracts
@2026 ALLRIGHTS RESERVED 2
, In adults, the Babinski Reflex suggests injury of ___________ - ANS Descending Nerve Tracts
Floor of Diencephalon - ANS Hypothalamus
Abduct - ANS contraction moves limb away from midline
Adduct - ANS contraction moves limb toward midline
4 Elements of Life - ANS Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen
Meiosis 1 - ANS begins with a diploid cell and ends with 2 cells having the haploid number of
chromosomes
Meiosis II - ANS Each of the two haploid cells divides, net result of 4 haploid gametes
Haploid - ANS having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Diploid - ANS containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
Mandibule Nerve - ANS Cranial nerve 5
Absorptions in the arachnoid granulations returns CSF to thr - ANS venous circulation
Cranial Nerves that innervate eye muscles - ANS 3, 4, 6
