psych 115 midterm 1 UCLA Exam Questions and Answers 100% Pass What is the role of Dorsal root ganglion cells? • DRG = unipolar neurons in peripheral nervous system • Job is to relay somatosensory info from skin to spinal cord Describe a touch stimulus. • Touch to skin generates a receptor potential by opening mechanoreceptor Na channels • Receptor potential passively propagates (flows) to the integration zone • Receptor potential is attenuated (becomes smaller) as it propaga...

What makes up the central nervous system? Correct Answer: brain and spinal cord What makes up the peripheral nervous system? Correct Answer: All nerves not in the brain or spinal cord What is the function of the central nervous system? Correct Answer: receives and processes information; initiates action What are the 2 divisions of the PNS? Correct Answer: Afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) divisions What are the 2 parts of the efferent (motor) division? Correct Answer: Somatic and ...

2 divisions - Answer-Central and Peripheral NS CNS contains - Answer-brain and spinal cord PNS contains - Answer-nerves that connect brain to muscles, glands, and varous receptors define Neuron - Answer-basic unit of nervous system, a cell that has dendrites carrying electrical impulses to cell body, and axon carrying elect. impulses away to synaptic end bulbs, where electrical impulses convert to chemical messages that cross the junction to the next cell Neurotransmitters - Answer-release...

absolute poverty - Answer inability to meet a bare minimum of basic necessities, including clean drinking water, food, safe housing, and reliable access to healthcare acetylcholine (ACh) - Answer the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction, throughout the PNS and by the preganglionic neurons of the SNS acetylcholinesterase - Answer the enzyme that breaks down ACh in the synaptic cleft achieved status - Answer statuses that are considered to be due largely to an i...

Neuro transmitter Receptor Subtype Location/Function/ Effects/symptoms of excess or deficit if applicable Distribution (ie: CNS/PNS, GI, vascular) Drug classes that target this neurotransmitter or receptor Specific medications that target this neurotransmitter or receptor Glutamate AMPA Ligand-gated ion channels Modulates cell excitability by allowing the flow of calcium and sodium ions into the cell. Located at the CNS in neurons and glia. Excess has resulted in schizoph...

CNS vs PNS central nervous system-consists of your brain and spinal cord-the brain communicates with the muscles in creating a plan to accomplish the movement-spinal cord acts as a conduct that carries motor information from the brain to the body and sensory information from the body to the brainperipheral nervous system-made up of all of the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord with the rest of the body-sending motor signals-extend from the spinal cord to the muscle and stimulate it to...

Acetylcholine - relays info from neuron to muscle; too much produces muscle spasms, too little causes paralysis action potential of a neuron - the spike in voltage that passes through the axon; the purpose is to convey information or to send a message; it's the sudden positive change in the electrical charge of an axon adrenal glands - involved in the stress response and the regulation of salt balance agonists - boost normal neurotransmitter activity; more receptors are activated so more ...

BSC2085 Exam 3 Questions and Answers 100% Pass What does the endocrine system communicate by? - Answer- means of chemical messengers (hormones) secreted by blood how does the nervous system send messages from cell to cell? - Answer- 1. Receives stimuli from environment and transmits messages to CNS 2. The CNS processes the information 3. CNS issues commands to muscle and gland cells to carry out response What are the 2 division of the nervous system? - Answer- CNS (brain/spinal cord) PN...
