A

PERCEPTION OF MUSCLE AND JOINT MOVEMENT/POSITION

43
Q

WHAT DOES THRESHOLD POTENTIAL CAUSE

A

44
Q

WHAT IS ACTION POTENTIAL

A

RAPID SEQUENCE OF DEPOLARIZATION AND REPOLARIZATION

45
Q

DEPOLARIZATION IS INSIDE OF MEMBRANE BECOMING ___ NEGATIVE

46
Q

HYPERPOLARIZATION IS INSIDE OF MEMBRANE BECOMING ___ NEGATIVE

47
Q

FOLLOWS ABSOLUTE REFRACTORY PERIOD
MOST SODIUM CHANNELS ARE IN RESTING STATE BUT SOME POTASSIUM CHANNELS ARE STILL OPEN

54
Q

LEAKAGE CHANNELS

A

OPEN CONSTANTLY

55
Q

GATED CHANNELS

A

OPEN AND CLOSE BASED ON SIGNALS

56
Q

RETROGRADE: FROM SYNAPTIC TERMINAL TO CELL BODY

64
Q

___ SYNAPSES ARE LESS COMMON THAN ___ SYNAPSES

A

ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL

65
Q

EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL

A

NEUROTRANSMITTER ARRIVING AT THE POSTSYNAPTIC MEMBRANE FROM CHEMICALLY GATED MEMBRANE CHANNELS BEING OPENED
