A&P2 Module 1 Exam

A&P2 Module 1 Exam This is a collection of cell bodies found in the peripheral nervous system. Ganglia This part of the autonomic system accelerates the heart beat and increases breathing rate. Sympathetic The dorsal root of a nerve contains what type of neurons? Sensory (Afferent) This part of a neuron conducts nerve impulses towards the cell body. Dendrites An interneuron inside the spinal cord is part of the: Central nervous system True or false: Neurons come into direct physical contact with one another. False The neuron pictured, below, is best described as Multipolar Describe the synthesis and storage of neurotransmitters. Small molecule neurotransmitters are synthesized locally within the axon terminal. Some of the precursors necessary for the synthesis of these molecules are taken up by selective transporters on the membrane of the terminal. The neuron cell body manufactures neurotransmitters, which are stored in secretory vesicles at the end of axon terminals. An afferent neuron carries information: From the peripheral to the central nervous system A postsynaptic neuron would be found: After the synapse What is the location and function of Satellite cells? Location: Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Function: Regulation of environment of neuron cell bodies
