1. Depol
2. Cal channels open
3. Exocytosis of synaptic vesicles
4. Release of NT
5. NT reacts with receptors
6. Promotes post synaptic membrane depol
7. Membrane retrieval by coated vesicles

Question 9

Nerve impulse rate depends on

Answer 9

Diameter of axon

Myelin sheath

Question 10

Large diameter

Answer 10

motor and proprioception

Question 11

Medium diameter

Answer 11

fine touch

Question 12

Small diameter

Answer 12

crude touch and pain

Question 13

Small unmyelinated fibers

Answer 13

postganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic axons

slow diffuse pain fibers

Question 14

Components of axon “SAMMI”

Answer 14

SER
Axoplasm
Mito
MT
IF

Question 15

Process of myelination

Answer 15

1. Wraps around axon
2. Schwann cell, cytoplasm , and plasma membrane begin to form layers around axon
3. Overlapping inner layers of Schwann cell and plasma membrane form the myelin sheath
4. Schwann cel, cytoplasm and nucleus are pushed to periphery of cell as the myelin sheath is formed

Question 16

Regulation of myelination is dependent on

Answer 16

Neuregulin

A transmembrane protein on the neurolemma of the axons

Question 17

Unmyelinated axons

Answer 17

Neurolemmocyte starts to wrap axons

The unmyelinated axons are enveloped by the neurolemmocyte , but no myelin sheath wraps around each axon

Loose CT

Answer 20

endoneurium

Question 32

What do astrocytes do

Answer 32

provide physical and metabolic support for neurons can also provide a scaffold for migrating neurons during development

Question 33

Astrocytes also can do what

Answer 33

extend foot processes between blood vessels and neurons to help form BBB

astrocytes

Question 35

Ependymal cells

Answer 35

epithelial like lining of the CNS cuboidal or columnar cells tightly bound to junctional complexes apical surface contains cilia or microvilli unlike typical epithelium, these don't sit on BL Basal surface have inholdings that interdigitate with astrocyte processes
