False ANSWER: False 2. Neurons receive information and transmit it to other cells. a. True b. False ANSWER: True 3. Santiago Ramón y Cajal used special staining techniques to reveal that the brain is composed of individual cells. a. True b. False ANSWER: True 4. An efferent axon carries information away from a structure. a. True b. False ANSWER: True 5. The greater the surface area of a dendrite, the more information it can receive from other neurons. a. True b. False ANSWER: True 6. Neurons are distinguished from other cells by their shape. a. True b. False ANSWER: True 7. The role of glial cells is to act like “glue” or scaffolding to support the neurons. a. True b. False ANSWER: False 8. Glial cells transmit information across long distances. a. True b. False ANSWER: False 9. There are two types of glial cells that produce myelin sheath. In the central nervous system, Schwann cells fulfill this role and, in the periphery, oligodendrocytes produce it. Stuvia.com - The Marketplace to Buy and Sell your Study Material

False ANSWER: False 11. The difference in voltage in a resting neuron is called the resting potential. a. True b. False ANSWER: True 12. Increasing the electrical gradient for potassium will reduce the tendency for potassium ions to exit the neuron. a. True b. False ANSWER: True 13. At the resting potential, the potassium channels are completely closed and the sodium channels are almost closed. a. True b. False ANSWER: False 14.
