An action potential results from movement of ions across the cell
membrane. Depolarization occurs because of
the [x] (this word should be "inward" or "outward") flow of [y]. Repolarization
occurs because of the [z] flow of [r]. - ✔✔x: inward, y: sodium, z: outward, r:
potassium
During a synapse, an influx of [x] in the terminal bouton, causes [y] to move
and bind to the cell membrane,
releasing [z] into the synaptic cleft. - ✔✔X: calcium y: synaptic vesicles z:
neurotransmitters
Action potentials are initiated in the x - ✔✔axon hillock
The two types of cells of the nervous system are the [x] and [p]. The one
that is made for signaling
and communication is the [r] - ✔✔x: neuron p: glia r: neuron
The central nervous system is comprised of the [x] and [y] - ✔✔x: brain y:
spinal cord

glial cell: microglia - ✔✔consume harmful substances
glial cell: astrocyte - ✔✔helps form blood-brain barrier
glial cell: oligodendroglia - ✔✔forms myelin in CNS
glial cell: Schwann cell - ✔✔forms myelin in the PNS
posterior spinal cord - ✔✔dorsal
anterior spinal cord - ✔✔ventral
superior cerebrum - ✔✔dorsal
posterior cerebrum - ✔✔caudal
superior spinal cord - ✔✔rostral
anterior cerebrum - ✔✔rostral
inferior spinal cord - ✔✔caudal
divides brain into top and bottom regions - ✔✔horizontal
Most axons are covered with _____________________, which is what
makes white matter look white. - ✔✔myelin
Neurotransmitters generate postsynaptic potentials that are either [x] or [p]
- ✔✔excitatory or inhibitory
What is the voltage of the resting membrane potential? [x]
What is the voltage of an action potential ? [y] - ✔✔resting: -70 mV
, ©NINJANERD 2024/2025. YEAR PUBLISHED 2024.
action potential: -65mV
Neurons receive input through the [x] and/or [y]. The signal is transmitted
along the [z] - ✔✔x: dendrite y: cell body (soma) z: axon
The nervous system can be divided into two major parts: [x] and [y] (Do not
use abbreviations!) - ✔✔central nervous system and peripheral nervous
system
The view shows a - ✔✔sagittal
Dopamine is produced in the [x]. Its function is [y]. [z] is the primary
neurotransmitter
of the PNS, occuring in synapses with muscle tissue. - ✔✔x: substantia
nigra
y: modulatory
z: acetycholine
The view shown is a ______ view. - ✔✔coronal
The point of communication between two neurons is a
________________________. - ✔✔synapse
A [x] is an involuntary response to some type of stimulus.
Minimally, it must include a [p] neuron and a [o] neuron. - ✔✔x: reflex
p: sensory
