NEURON FUNCTION WORKSHEET FINAL
TEST 2026 QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ synapse.
Answer: junction between neurons
◍ Axon / Synaptic Terminal.
Answer: Branched end of an axon leading to the synaptic knob, then to the
synapse
◍ Unipolar neurons.
Answer: Type of neuron with one extension that leads into a peripheral
branch and a central branch
◍ Ependymal Cells.
Answer: Neuroglial cells that form membranes that cover specialized parts
of the brain; produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
◍ Sensory Nerves.
Answer: Nerves that are composed of sensory neurons that conduct impulses
to the CNS
◍ Divergence.
Answer: A single presynaptic neuron forming synapses with two or more
postsynaptic neurons
◍ Myelin Sheath.
Answer: layers of lipid (fatty) proteins surrounding the axon providing
insulation
◍ Spatial Summation.
Answer: Summation of graded potentials from several neurons
, ◍ depolarized membrane.
Answer: loss of resting potential
◍ Motor Nerves.
Answer: Nerves that are composed of motor neurons that conduct impulses
to muscles or glands
◍ Effectors.
Answer: Muscles that contract OR glands that secrete when stimulated by
nerve impulses
◍ Nerve Pathways.
Answer: Path where impulses travel from neuron to neuron
◍ inhibitory neurotransmitter.
Answer: inhibits postsynaptic neuron
◍ Ligand.
Answer: A molecule that binds to another molecule
◍ Reflex Arc.
Answer: Simplest nerve pathway which includes only a few neurons
◍ Central Nervous System (CNS).
Answer: Consists of the brain and spinal cord
◍ Microglia.
Answer: Neuroglial cells that support neurons and phagocytizes bacterial
cells and cellular debris
◍ Axon Hillock.
Answer: The part of a neuron where the cell body connects to the axon; the
site where nerve signals are first generated
◍ Neurilemma.
Answer: sheath formed from Schwann cells that surrounds the myelin sheath
on the axon
