When the presynaptic cell contacts a muscle cell, the synapse area is called a motor end plate. - ANSWER TRUE Briefly explain why the action potential flows only from the axon hillock to the terminal web. - ANSWER During the course of an action potential there is a refractory period that makes sure the action potential can't trigger backwards by the use of caps on gated sodium channels. The caps close and keeps the action potential flowing in one direction. How do the glial cells (i.e., m...

Nonpharmacological techniques may be used in place of drugs or as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy to help reduce the use of? correct answers - therapeutic touch, acupuncture, massages are all complementary alternative therapies - these types of therapies can be used instead of the main treatment or in conjunction as an adjuvant therapy - complementary alternative therapies can be used as adjuvants because they help decrease side effects as well as allowing lower dose The nurse keeps naloxone ...

What is Neurotransmission?:  Neuron → Neuron/Cell/Organ/Muscle/Etc. Communication  Point of ‘Communication’ = The “Synapse” Terminology:  Pre-Synaptic Neuron: The ‘Sender’ Neuron  Synaptic Cleft: The ‘Gap’ Between cells  Post-Synaptic Cell: The ‘Receiver’ Cell  Synaptic Potential: The ‘Drive’ for Transmission (that mobilizes the synaptic vesicles to pre-synaptic membrane). Neuron-Neuron Neurotransmission:  Note: Neurons Synapse with Each ...
