Quiz 3 Flashcards
Check all the following that will lead to an increase in membrane excitability.
____ Hypocalcemia
____ Increasing membrane permeability to K+
_____Alkalosis
____ [K+]ECF = 8 mM
Hypocalcemia
Alkalosis
The relative refractory period corresponds to the period of time when the voltage gated Na+ channels are resetting to their
resting state. The action potential conduction velocity is inversely related to fiber diameter.
(statement false/ true)
First statement is true and second statement is false
(T/F) The neurotransmitter released by Neuron Y could be opening Ca2+ channels in Neuron Z
true
(T/F) When Neuron X and Y are active at the same time, the amount of neurotransmitter released by Neuron Y is less than when only Neuron Y is active.
true
(T/F) Neuron X is part of an axoaxonic synapse.
true
(T/F)The neurotransmitter released by Neuron X could open Cl- channels in Neuron Y
true
If neuron Y has a high action potential frequency (increased number of action potentials produced in rapid succession), this can lead to ______ in Neuron Z.
Temporal Summation
Which region of the brain is NOT involved in regulation of skeletal muscle activity?
Periaqueductal Gray Region
pain pathway
Which region of the brain is are involved in regulation of skeletal muscle activity?
Basal Nuclei
Red Nucleus
Superior Colliculi
Substantia Nigra
Which of the following is part of the midbrain that is a collection of dopamine neurons which synapse with neurons in the Basal Nuclei?
Substantia Nigra
slide 14 and 20
Which of the following is the name for a group of neuron cell bodies in the Medulla Oblongata that produces serotonin? This group of neurons inhibits ascending pain signals.
A. Periaqueductal Gray Region
B. Nucleus Raphe Magnus
C. Rostral Ventromedial Medulla
D. Reticular Formation
B. Nucleus Raphe Magnus
not c not serotonin producing neuron
As noted on NS III PowerPoint on slide 19, Raphe nuclei is the name for nuclei in the brainstem that produce/release serotonin.
If a patient has spastic paralysis of their tongue and facial muscles this suggests damage to the Anterior Corticospinal Tract.
A patient with damage to their Vestibulocerebellum would demonstrate vertigo and nystagmus.
(statement false/ true)
The first statement is false; the second statement is true.
If a person suffered a stroke that resulted in their inability know that they are touching an apple versus an orange based on touch alone (no visual information), what cerebral lobe would be suspected as the location of their stroke?
Parietal Lobe
Which of the spinal cord motor tract control ipsilateral muscles only?
Anterior Corticospinal Tract
Tectospinal Tract
Pontine Reticulospinal Tract
Corticobulbar Tract
Pontine Reticulospinal Tract
Two other tracts that could be correct answers to this question would be the Medullary Reticulospinal Tract and Vestibulospinal Tract.
Which number corresponds to the period of time during which the activation gates and inactivation gates of the voltage gated Na+ channels are both open?
1
