Name___________________________________Date__________________Period__________ Nervous System Webquest ! Go to the following website ! http://www.mind.ilstu.edu/curriculum/neurons_intro/neurons_intro.php 1. What are the two types of cells that make up the central nervous system? ! ! ! 2. In your own words, what is a neuron? (Hint: click on the link that says "neuron") ! ! ! ! 3. In your own words, what is a synapse, and where is it located? ! ! ! ! 4. What are three types of information that neurons must process? What does each type allow us to do? ! ! ! ! 5. How many different types of neurons might there be? How many neurons might be in the brain alone? ! ! ! ! 6. In your own words, what is a glial cell? ! ! ! 7. What are the three different kinds of neurons, and what do each do? ! ! ! ! ! ! 8. What are two functions of the cell body? ! ! ! ! 9. What is a dendrite? What is an axon? How many of each can you have in a neuron? ! ! ! ! 10. What is an axon terminal? What does it release? ! ! ! ! 11. What do neurotransmitters do? ! ! ! ! 12. What is an action potential? What is conduction? ! ! ! ! 13. What are ions and what role do they play in passing an electrical signal? ! ! ! ! 14. What is meant by polarization? What is depolarization? ! ! ! 15. What is the threshold? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Look at the animation for questions 16-22 16. What is membrane potential? Why does it exist? ! ! ! 17. Describe what happens at resting potential. ! ! ! ! 18. What happens when a neuron is stimulated? ! ! ! 19. During depolarization, which ions rush in? How does this change the inside of the membrane? ! ! ! 20. Why do potassium ions move through the potassium channels? What does this result in? ! ! ! 21. What is the refractory period? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 22. Draw a graph and label the following: polarization, stimulus, full depolarization, action potential, repolarization, refractory period. Use units on your y axis. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 23. How quickly does an action potential travel along the axon? ! ! Use the Synapse animation for questions 24-29 24. What is neurotransmission? Where does it occur? ! ! ! ! 25. What are the two types of synapses? ! ! ! 26. __________________between two neurons occurs when a gap junction fuses the membranes of a pair of dendrites together. ! 27. Most neuron to neuron _______________occur between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another. ! 28. What does chemical neurotransmission require? ! ! 29. When the sum of all the synaptic potentials equals or exceeds the threshold, the neuron will fire an _____________________ along its axon. ! ! 30. What fills the synaptic cleft? What type of barrier does it create for the electrical signal? ! ! 31. What is the function of the neurotransmitter? ! Use the chemical neurotransmission animation to complete questions 32-34 32. What part of the neuron would be the presynaptic neuron, and the post synaptic neuron? ! ! ! 33. Why are neurotransmitters necessary for the conduction of a nerve impulse? ! ! ! 34. What must happen for an ion channel to open?
