Basics Of Neuromodulation

Question 1

Which of the following principals is not a physiological mechanism for enhancing muscle force?

Size principal: more and larger motor united are recruited to generate higher forces

Voltage spillover: excess electrical signals from the nervous system spillover over to neighboring muscles; increasing force production

Rate coding: neurons fire at higher frequency to generate more force

Answer 1

Voltage spillover

Question 2

Which components of the cell membrane of neurons are involved in signaling neurons?

Voltage gated ion channels

Duty cycles ports

Hypoglossal muscle spindles

Answer 2

Voltage gated ion channels Duty cycles

Question 3

Answer 3

Frequency: should be times per millisecond
