Describe
function
and
release
of
neurotransmitters
-
ANS
Neurotransmitters
are
chemicals
stored
inside
secretory
vesicles
(axon
terminal
vesicles)
at
the
end
of
the
axon
terminals.
When
neurotransmitters
are
released
by
the
axon
terminal
vesicles,
they
carry
the
transmission
of
the
nerve
impulse
from
one
neuron
to
another.
An
efferent
neuron
carries
information:
-
ANS
From
the
central

An
afferent
neuron
carries
information:
-

From
the
peripheral
to
the
central
nervous
system.

cord
is
part
of
the:

Describe
the
synthesis
and
storage
of

A
patients
left
thumb
was
severed
in
a
cooking
accident
and

reattached
during
surgery.

the
patient
be
expected
to
regrow
axons

Why
not?
-
ANS
Yes. Peripheral
nerves
can
regenerate
the
length
of
an
axon
through
axonal
regeneration
because
of
the
growth
of
Schwann
cells
ahead
of
the
axon.

following
is
true
concerning
the
sodium-potassium
pump?
-
ANS
It
must
remain
in
constant
operation
to
maintain
resting
state.
T/F
:
A
sensory
neuron
is
signaling
the
body
of
extreme
pain.
This
means
that
the

than
usual.
-
ANS

is
no
variation
in
the
strength
of
the
action
potentials.
(all
or
nothing)
There
is
a
variation
in
the
number
and
frequency
of
neurons
firing.

following
statement
is
false
concerning
the
neuromuscular
junction?
-

ACh
is
released
from
the
presynaptic
motor
neuron
to
cause
an
action
potential
in

muscle
fiber.
Which
of
the
following
is
true
concerning
the
neuromuscular
junction?
-
ANS
The
NMJ
terminates
on
a
muscle
fiber.
How
is
a
message
sent
from
one
neuron
to
another?
-
ANS
There
is
a
minute
fluid-filled
space,
called
a
synapse,
between
the
axon
terminal
of
the
sending
neuron
and
the
dendrite
of
the
receiving
neuron.
When
a
nerve
impulse
reaches
the
end
of
an
axon,
neurotransmitters
are
released
into
the
synapse.
These
bind
with
a
receptor
on
the
next
neuron,
opening
Na+
gates
in
the
receiving
dendrite
which
causes
depolarization
and
the
impulse
is
carried.

responses
and
muscle
tone?
-

Multiple
sclerosis
is
an
autoimmune
disease
which
attacks
the
myelin
sheath
of
the
nerve
axon.
Patients
with
this
disease
may
experience
difficulty
using
the
muscles
of
their
arms
and
legs.
Explain
why
this
occurs.
-
ANS
Myelin
increases
nerve
conduction
speed
and
protects
the
nerve.
If
the
myelin
is
damaged,
the
conduction
speed
would
be
slower
than
normal,
and
the
nerve
axon
itself
would
be
vulnerable
to
permanent
damage
without
the
myelin
present
for
protection.
