  • True
  • False

Questão 2

Questão
The autonomic nervous system consists of the:
Responda
  • peripheral and afferent nervous systems
  • sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
  • sympathetic and efferent nervous systems
  • parasympathetic and somatic nervous systems

Questão 3

Questão
Gray matter in the brain and spinal cord consists primarily of:
Responda
  • NERVE FIBERS
  • neuroglia
  • axons
  • cell bodies

Questão 4

Questão
Neurotransmitters are released in a synapse and bind to
Responda
  • presynaptic terminals
  • the synaptic cleft
  • the base of the axon
  • receptors on the postsynaptic neuron

Questão 5

Questão
Compared to the outside of the neuron, the inside has a [blank_start]negative[blank_end] charge.
Responda
  • negative
  • positive
  • equal
  • none of the above

Questão 6

Questão
When an impulse reaches a synapse
Responda
  • two nerve fibers come in direct contact
  • impulses will pass in either direction
  • an electrical spark will jump the gap
  • chemical transmitters are released

Questão 7

Questão
Along a neuron, the correct pathway for impulse conduction is
Responda
  • dendrite, axon, cell body, and receptor
  • dendrite, cell body, and axon
  • axon, cell body, and dendrite
  • receptor, axon, and cell body

Questão 8

Questão
Which is true of an action potential?
Responda
  • The plasma membrane is impermeable to Na+ and K+ ions.
  • Na+ ions move extracellularly.
  • The charges become equal on the outside and inside of the plasma membrane.
  • The outside of the plasma membrane is negatively charged and the inside is positively charged.

Questão 9

Questão
In the human nervous system:
Responda
  • most of the cells are neurons
  • most of the cells are glia cells
  • there are almost equal numbers of glia cells and neurons
  • the ratio of cells is unknown because of the complexity of the nervous system

Questão 10

Questão
Which of the following is a function of the central nervous system (CNS)?
Responda
  • integrating sensory information
  • evaluating the information
  • Initiating an outgoing response e are f
  • all of the above are functions

Questão
Small, distinct regions of gray matter within the CNS are called nuclei.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 12

Questão
Interneurons reside:
Responda
  • in the CNS and peripheral nervous system
  • in the CNS only
  • in the peripheral nervous system only
  • none of the above

Questão 13

Questão
The central nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 14

Questão
Which of the following is true of spatial summation?
Responda
  • Simultaneous stimulation of more than one postsynaptic neuron occurs.
  • Impulses are fired in a rapid succession by the same neuron.
  • Neurotransmitters released simultaneously from several presynaptic knobs converge on one postsynaptic neuron.
  • Speed of impulse transmission is increased when several neurotransmitters are released.

Questão 15

Questão
A neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called a(n):
Responda
  • motor neuron
  • sensory neuron

  • It always consists of an afferent and an efferent neuron.
  • It always consists of an afferent neuron, an efferent neuron, and an interneuron.
  • It always consists of an afferent neuron, an efferent neuron, the brain, and the spinal cord.
