Between each myelin sheath is a gap that
speeds up action potentials this is called
Question 18

______ _______ occurs as the action
potential moves down the axon and it is
said to “jump” from node to node…
Question 19

In Multiple Sclerosis and ALD patients,
this happens resulting in decreased
conduction of an action potential.

The two major ions involved in the action
potential are
Question 21

A membrane is said to be _________ due
to the unequal distribution of positively
charged ions inside and outside the nerve
cell
Question 22

The outside of the axon is said to have a
________ charge, while on the inside of the
axon we have a ______ charge
Question 23

The voltage change across the membrane
in known as an ______ _______


During the ______ period, a neuron will not
generate another action potential

The _______ / _______ pump works to
return the neuron back to resting
membrane potential

At the synapse, The two major chemical
components are…
Question 28

The function of Cholinesterase in the
Synaptic cleft is to…
Question 29

This process helps a stimulus reach
threshold to generate an action potential
Question 30

Thin protective membranes that provide
protection for the brain and spinal cord are
called ?
Question 31

The increased size of this has “separated”
humans from all other species (allowing
them to become more sophisticated).
Question 32

This structure in the brain is located below
the cerebrum and is responsible for
sensory impulses
Question 33

This structure in the brain is attached to the




Acetylcholine is released in the synaptic terminal
of a neuron.
An action potential travel down the axon toward
the terminal where it causes neurotransmitter to
be released which bind to receptors on the
following dendrite (post synaptic membrane) and
a new action potential to be created.
Cannot reverse this because dendrites do not
release acetylcholine.
