ANS: They are released when the action potential reaches the knob. DIF: Average/Above average OBJ: 28.2.3 NOT: core NOT: core ESSAY 35. ANS: The voltage across the plasma membrane of a resting neuron is the resting potential. If a neuron is stimulated, positive ions rush across the plasma membrane, reversing the charge difference. The inside of the membrane gains a positive charge, and the outside of the membrane gains a negative charge. This depolarization is called the action potential. As the nerve signal passes, the positively charged ions flow out of the cell, and the resting potential of the membrane is reestablished. DIF: Average/Above average OBJ: 28.2.3 NOT: core 36. ANS: The cerebrum controls voluntary activities and higher thinking skills. The cerebellum controls coordination and balance. The brainstem controls sleep, breathing, and helps coordinate movement. The thalamus sorts information going to and coming from the cerebral cortex. The hypothalamus regulates hunger, thirst, emotions, and body temperature. DIF: Below average/Average OBJ: 28.4.2 37. ANS: The five general categories are pain receptors, thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors. Pain receptors are throughout the body except in the brain. Thermoreceptors are located in the skin and some internal organs. Mechanoreceptors are found in skin and inner ears. Chemoreceptors are found in the nose and taste buds. Photoreceptors are found in the eyes. DIF: Below average/Average OBJ: 28.5.2
