This is a bundle of axons found in the peripheral nervous system. Your Answer: Nerve Nerve Question 2 Not yet graded / 2.5 pts This part of the autonomic system accelerates the heart beat and increases breathing rate. Your Answer: 2/16 sympathetic nervous system Sympathetic Question 3 Not yet graded / 2.5 pts The ventral root of a nerve contains what type of neurons? Your Answer: motor neurons Motor (Efferent) Question 4 Not yet graded / 2.5 pts This part of a neuron conducts nerve impulses towards the cell body. Your Answer: dendrites Dendrites Question 5 2 / 2 pts 3/16 Correctt!! Question 6 2 / 2 pts The neuron pictured, below, is best described as: 4/16 Correctt!! Correctt!! Question 7 2 / 2 pts True or false: Neurons do not physically touch one another. True 5/16 Neurons do not physically touch. They are separated by synapses. False Question 8 Not yet graded / 4 pts Describe the function and release of neurotransmitters. Your Answer: Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are stored in the axon terminal vesicles. When neurotransmitters are released they carry the nerve impulse to one neuron to the next. Neurotransmitters are chemicals stored inside secretory vesicles (axon terminal vesicles) at the end of the axon terminals. When neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal vesicles, they carry the transmission of the nerve impulse from one neuron to another. Question 9 2 / 2 pts An afferent neuron carries information: From the central to the peripheral nervous system 6/16 What is the location and function of Satellite cells? Your Answer: Satellite cells surround the body of peripheral neurons. They regulate the cell body environment. Location: Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Function: Regulation of environment of neuron cell bodies
