SLP Neuro Final Exam Questions And Correct Answers
An action potential is generated by the flow of ions across the cell membrane.
Depolarization occurs due to the [x] this should be either "inward" or "outward"] flow of
[y]. Repolarization occurs due to the [z] flow of [r]. -ANSWER x: inward, y: sodium, z:
outward, r: potassium
The synapse involves an influx of [x] in the terminal bouton, that causes [y] to move and
bind to the cell membrane,
releasing [z] into the synaptic cleft. - ANSWER X: calcium y: synaptic vesicles z:
neurotransmitters
Action potentials are initiated in the x - ANSWER axon hillock
