Nervous System Study Guide
Testing Date: March 15 (A day) and March 16 (B day)
Know the following information, definitions, and facts.
1. Definitions of Neuron and its different structures and functions (i.e. axon, cell body, dendrite,
Shwan cells, myelinated and unmyelinated sheaths, and axon terminals)
2. Definitions and function of synapse.
3. Compare nerve impulse traveling speed in myelinated and unmyelinated axons.
4. Definition and functioning process of Action potential
5. Definition and functioning process of resting potential (e.g. concentration amount of sodium
and potassium amount inside and outside of neuron cell.
6. When a neuron at rest, what is the amount of sodium amount outside and inside the cell?
7. When a neuron at rest, what is the amount of K+ ions inside and outside the neuron cell?
8. Functions of sodium-potassium pumps during action potential.
9. When an impulse moves down the axon, a small part of the axon momentarily reserves
its__________.
10. Definitions and functions of different neurotransmitters.
11. When a neuron transmitter is released from a presynaptic neuron, the neurotransmitter may
bind to membrane receptor proteins on the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron.
12. Know the processes of neurotransmitters within the synaptic cleft.
13. Explain the process of a drug and its blocking of a neurotransmitter from a synaptic cleft for a
long time.
14. Different branches of CNS and PNS.
15. Definitions of sensory and motor neurons.
16. Know different internal and external parts of the brain.
17. Be able to identify and label different parts and lobes of the brain.
18. Definitions and locations of white and gray matters.
19. Definition, parts, and function of reflex arc.
20. Autonomic Nervous system definition and function.
21. Cranial nerves and their locations and functions.
22. The action and effects of various drugs such as, cocaine, alcohol, nicotine ,narcotics within
central nervous system (5 questions)
23. Be able to label different cranial nerves within given figure (no word banks)
