Q

What is compact bone?

A

Thick and solid

Has a central canal or Haversian canal

Has many osteons or haversian systems

Q

What is secreted from the parathyroid gland and what does it do?

A

Parathyroid gland hormone

28
Q

What are excited or irritability cells?

A

Cells that can alter a charge when stimulated

Ex: neurons

29
Q

How is alter in charge across cell membrane accomplished?

A

Ion channels

Ionic players

  • Na+
  • K+
30
Q

Nerve or neurons that are at rest have what charge?

A

Slightly negative

31
Q

What is a potential difference?

A

Difference of charge across cell membrane

Negative on the inside
Positive on the outside

32
Q

What is the resting potential?

A

Difference in charge across the membrane when cell is resting

33
Q

What is the resting potential number inside a cell membrane?

A

-70mV

34
Q

What is an oscilloscope?

A

Used to measure electrical events

35
Q

What is depolarization?

A

Heading toward positive territory from resting

36
Q

What is hyperpolarization?

A

Heading toward more negative territory from resting

37
Q

What is repolarization?

A

Depolarize and let it return to resting

38
Q

What is graded potential?

A

Slight stimulate has gradual change in charge

39
Q

What are the ions that voltage gated ion channels open for?

A

1) Na+ (they flood in)

2) K+ (they flood out)

40
Q

What is the action potential?

A

Threshold and on

Basis of all nerve pulses

All or none

If you don’t depolarize and hit the threshold there is no action potential

If you depolarize and hit the threshold you get action potential

No action potentials are stronger than the others

41
Q

After an action potential occurs what happens and explain

A

Refractory period- new action can not be stimulated

2 parts

1) absolute refractory period
2) relative refractory period

42
Q

What is the absolute refractory period?

A

Occurs in the beginning

Impossible to have another action potential

Na+ and K+ ions are glued shut until end of absolute refractory period

43
Q

What is the relative refractory period?

A

Can hit another action potential if hit with stronger than normal stimulation

Not glued shit anymore

44
Q

How are nerve signals transmitted? Step by step (from pictures from lecture)

A

1) neuron is at rest and has negative charges inside and positive charges outside
2) Na+ comes in at front of neuron
3) Na+ follows local current
4) Na+ moves to middle and K+ leaves from front of neuron
5) K+ leaves neuron as Na+ move to end and refractory period occurs from where Na+ started

45
Q

What is the local current?

A

Movement of Na+ atoms moving down axon

46
Q

What does the refractory period ensure?

A

Ensures action potential moves in one direction and doesn’t go backwards

47
Q

What does propagation mean?

A

Action potential stimulates action potential stimulates action potential and continues to move like a WAVE down the axon

48
Q

Is the strength of the action potential all in one lost or reduced?

A

No

49
Q

What does myelin do?

A

Speeds up movement of action potential down an axon

50
Q

What is an neurolemmocyte?

A

Schwanns cell

Special kind of glial cell

Wrapped around axon

51
Q

What is the nodes of ranvier?

A

Parts of axon not covered by schwanns cells

52
Q

What is saltatory propagation mean?

A

Nerve transmission has to skip down axis because of Schwanns cell

53
Q

What are the 3 types of diameter the axon can have?

A

1) Type A fiber (Type A neuron/ axon)
2) Type B fiber
3) Type C fiber

54
Q

What is type A fibers?

A

Largest diameter (thick) and fastest

300 miles per hour

55
Q

What are type B fibers?

A

Intermediate diameter and moderate speed

40 miles per hour

56
Q

What is type C fibers?

A

Thinnest diameter and slowest of the three

2 miles per hour

57
Q

What is the connection between cells?

A

Synapse

58
Q

Why do neurons connect to other cells?

A

To submit transmissions

59
Q

What is the second cell CNS connects to?

A

Nerve cell

Neuron to neuron

60
Q

What is the 2nd cell PNS connects to?

A

61
Q

What does the axon communicate with on other cells?

A

Dendrites

62
Q

What is a presynaptic neuron?

A

1st cell of sequence

63
Q

What is a postsynaptic neuron?

A

2nd cell in sequence

64
Q

What do the axon terminal branches do?

A

They have neurotransmitters at the end and release and stimulate postsynaptic neurons

65
Q

What is at the end of each axon terminal branches?

A

Axon bulb or synaptic knob or terminal bouton

66
Q

What is a synaptic cleft?

A

Space between dendrite and axon bulb

67
Q

A

Contains neurotransmitters

68
