Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Acetyl Choline always produces an EPSP.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Glutamate produces an IPSP.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
Gaba produces an IPSP.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
Choose the correct statements about methamphetamine.
Respuesta
  • It increases levels of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin.
  • It blocks the reuptake of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin.
  • It acts in reward centres and as such is highly addictive.
  • It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system.

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Choose the incorrect statement.
Respuesta
  • Acetylcholine activates stimulus gated Na+ channels, and can be found in NMJs and the brain.
  • Glutamate activates stimulus gated Na+ and Ca+ channels, and is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS.
  • GABA activates Na+ and Cl- channels, and is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS.

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
A neuron can have >50,000 synapses at its input zone.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Local synaptic potential (EPSPs and IPSPs) summate. Spatial summation is integration of inputs from [blank_start]different synaptic knobs[blank_end]. (Different localisation/[blank_start]local polarisations[blank_end] of input zone.) Temporal summation is the integration of inputs from the [blank_start]same synaptic knob[blank_end] but from different, [blank_start]short time intervals[blank_end].
Respuesta
  • different synaptic knobs
  • local polarisations
  • same synaptic knob
  • short time intervals

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
Local polarisations last longer than action potentials. This allows temporal summation to be effective.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Converging networks can amplify signals. They have few control points and can therefore allow precise control. Diverging networks provide redundancy, making sure there is a 'back up' should another transmission fail and assuring an action is carried out.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False
