Q

Adrenergic neurons two types of receptors

A

Alpha and beta (inhibitory)

23
Q

Cluster of neuronal bodies located in the PNS

A

A ganglion

24
Q

Cluster of neuronal cell bodies located in the CNS

25
Bundle of axons located in the PNS
Nerve
26
Bundle of axons located in the CNS
Tract
27
Name the three types of proprioceptive sensation
Muscle spindles Tendon organs Joint kinesthetic receptors
28
Ruffini corpuscles in joints respond to
Pressure
29
Pacinian corpuscles in joints respond to
Acceleration and deceleration
30
Class of sensory fibres: - which groups are myelinated? - list serve
- 1-4 | - muscle, tendon, temp, pain/itch
31
Sensory information travels along two main routes:
Posterior columnar tracts and spinothalamic tracts.
32
Another word for spinothalamic is
Anterolateral | Itch, pain sensation, tickle
33
Another word for posterior column is
Medial leminiscal | Proprioception, pressure, judge weight and shape
34
Spinocerebellar tracts carries
Subconscious info about muscle and space
35
Corticospinal (to limbs, direct) crosses
Decussation occurs in medulla or anterior tract (central)
36
Important intracellular atom is
Potassium (K+)
37
What type of ion channel is open during resting potential?
Potassium channels
38
What maintaines the resing potential?
Active tp by Sodium potassiuma- ATPases
39
An inflow of chlorine ions would lead to a
Hyperpolarisation, inside more negative and further away from actionpotential (-55mV)
40
Amp (A) measures
Current
41
Volt measures
The force that drives the current
42
Ohm measures
Resistance to current
43
What is the resting membrane potential dependent on?
Distribution og ions across the membrane
44
What is special about myelinated fibres?
There is no hyperpolarisation occuring after action potential do no extended refractory period. Plus a lack of K+ channels which increases firing rate. Pump only works at the nodes of Ranvier.
45
Gustation (taste) uses which signaling
G-coupled or membrane channels
46
Olfaction uses which signaling
cAMP which leads to opening of kation channels
47
The three layers of the eye
Sclera, choroid and retina
48
Signalingpathway leading to vision
Light - eye - nerve fibres - ganglion - bipolar cells - synapsis - receptor - rods and cones - pigmented cells
49
Photoception is
Converting light energy to electrical energy
50
Photoception in the dark
Sodium in the cell leading to depolarisation
51
Gutamate is
Excitatory neurotransmitter
52
Inotropic receptors are, while metatropic are
Excitatory and leads to depolarisation, metatropic opposite
53
What is the Nernst potential?
Equilibriun point reached by ions between the inside and outside of the cell.
