chapter 6/7 Flashcards
what is true about neurotransmitters and neuromodulators
convey info among neurons (endogenous ligands)
how does botox therapeutically produce paresis in overactive muscles
releases ach at neuromuscular junction
Supported by functional MRI which shows that functional areas of the brain are activated during specific movements, rehabilitation optimizing the brain’s neuroplasticity is best done following a rehabilitation approach using:
task-specific training
Which of the following is the structural part of a neuron that releases a neurotransmitter?
presynaptic terminal
ACh receptor subtypes include:
nicotinic and muscarinic
characteristics of neuroplasticity
Habituation
plasticity
Cellular recovery after injury
what is ESPS
excitatory postsynaptic potential
Neurons that are deprived of oxygen for a prolonged period:
die and do not regenerate
An athlete has a non-sports related accident and cuts partway through his right forearm, severing his radial nerve close to the elbow. He is coming to the training room for AT, PT and OT . Recovery of sensory and motor function of his foream and hand will take approximately how long?
Approximately 12 months
Recovery from axonal injury in the PNS occurs through the process of:
regeneration
The key molecule responsible for release of neurotransmitter from a presynaptic vesicle is:
calcium
Cells in the PNS that produce myelin and nerve growth factor
Schwann cells
Learning an individual’s name is possible because of::
long term potentiation
