Q: What is a collection of cell bodies found in the peripheral nervous system?
A: Ganglia ✔✔
Q: Which part of the autonomic system increases digestion?
A: Parasympathetic ✔✔
Q: What type of neurons does the ventral root of a nerve contain?
A: Motor (Efferent) ✔✔
Q: Which part of a neuron conducts nerve impulses towards the cell body?
A: Dendrites ✔✔
Q: A neuron going to the bicep of the forearm is part of which system?
A: F. B&D (Peripheral nervous system and Somatic system) ✔✔
Q: What type of neuron is pictured in the image below?
A: Multipolar ✔✔
Q: True or false: Neurons come into direct physical contact with one another.
A: False: Neurons do not physically touch. They are separated by synapses. ✔✔
, Q: Describe the function and release of neurotransmitters.
A: Neurotransmitters are chemicals stored inside secretory vesicles (axon terminal vesicles) at
the end of the axon terminals. When neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal vesicles,
they carry the transmission of the nerve impulse from one neuron to another. ✔✔
Q: An efferent neuron carries information:
A. From the central to the peripheral nervous system
B. From the peripheral to the central nervous system
C. Within the central nervous system
D. Within the peripheral nervous system
A: A. From the central to the peripheral nervous system ✔✔
Q: A postsynaptic neuron would be found:
A. Before the synapse
B. After the synapse
C. Inside the synapse
D. Only in the central nervous system
A: B. After the synapse ✔✔
Q: What is the location and function of Satellite cells?
A: Location: Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
Function: Regulation of environment of neuron cell bodies ✔✔
Q: If a patient's spinal cord was severed in a car accident, would they be expected to
regrow axons in their spinal cord? Why or why not?
A: No; Only peripheral system axons are capable of regeneration. The spinal cord is in the
central nervous system. ✔✔
