Structure And Function Of Neurons

Question 1

What is do dendrites do?

Answer 1

Where the neurotransmitter receptors are found. Once the receptor and neurotransmitter bind, this causes a new electrical impulse to occur

Question 2

Dendrites - Where the neurotransmitter …. are found. Once the receptor and neurotransmitter …., this causes a new …. to occur

Answer 2

Receptors
Bund
Electrical impulse

Question 3

What’s does a cell body do?

Answer 3

Includes the nucleus which contains the genetic material of the cell

Question 4

Cell body - Includes the …. which contains the …. of the cell

Answer 4

Nucleus
Genetic material

Question 5

In dendrites when the receptor and neurotransmitters bind it causes what?

Answer 5

New electrical impulses to occur

Question 6

What’s found in the cell body of a neuron?

Answer 6

Nucleus

Question 7

What does the nucleus contain?

Answer 7

Genetic material

Question 8

What does the axon do?

Answer 8

Sends nerve impulse through the neuron to transmit a message to the next neuron

Question 9

Axon - Sends …. through the neuron to …. a ….. to the next ….

Answer 9

Nerve impulses
Transmit
Message
Neuron

Question 10

What does the axon send through the neuron to transmit a message?

Answer 10

Nerve impulses

Question 11

What does the nodes of ranvier do?

Answer 11

Speeded up the transmission of the impulse by forcing it to jump across the gaps along the axon

Question 12

Nodes of ranvier - Speeded up the transmission of the …. by forcing it to …. across the …. along the ….

Answer 12

Impulses
Jump
Gaps
Axon

Question 13

What does the myelin sheath do?

Answer 13

Protects the axon and helps to speed up transmission of the message

Question 14

How does the nodes of ranvier speed up transmission of the impulse?

Answer 14

By forcing it to jump across the gaps along the axon

Question 15

What does the myelin sheath protect?

Answer 15

Axon

Question 16

The myelin sheath speeds up what?

Answer 16

Transmission of the message

Question 17

What does the terminal button do?

Answer 17

The end of the neuron and they send the information through to the next neuron, through the release of neurotransmitters

Question 18

Terminal button - The …. of the neuron and they send the …. through to the next neuron, through the ….. of …..

Answer 18

End
Information
Release
Neurotransmitters

Question 19

Where on the neuron is the terminal button?

Answer 19

End of the neuron

Question 20

The terminal button sends information where?

Answer 20

Through to the next neuron through the release ur the neurotransmitters

Question 21

What’s the order of the structure of the neuron?

Answer 21

Dendrites
Cell body
Axon
Nodes of ranvier
Myelin sheath
Terminal button

Question 22

Where are the dendrites?

Answer 22

Attached to cell body

Question 23

Where’s the axon?

Answer 23

The long part connecting cell body to terminal button

Question 24

Where’s the nodes of ranvier?

Answer 24

The gap between each myelin sheath
