Module 1 Exam – Nervous System
1. This is a collection of cell bodies found in the peripheral nervous system. Ganglia 2. This part of the autonomic system increases digestion. Parasympathetic
3. The ventral root of a nerve contains what type of neurons? Motor (Efferent)
4. This part of a neuron conducts nerve impulses towards the cell body. Dendrites
5. An interneuron inside the spinal cord is part of the: Central nervous system 6. True or false: Neurons do not physically touch one another. True
7. An afferent neuron carries information: From the peripheral to the central nervous system 8. A postsynaptic neuron would be found: After the synapse
9. A patient’s left thumb was severed in a cooking accident and then reattached during surgery. Would the patient be expected to regrow axons in their thumb? Why or why not? Yes; Peripheral nerves can regenerate the length of the axon through axonal regeneration because of the growth of Schwann cells ahead of the axon. 10. At rest, a neuron plasma membrane is: Polarized (around -70mV) This study source was downloaded by 100000854619884 from CourseHero.com on 10-14-2022 06:49:20 GMT -05:00
