Consider the following scenario: Sandra places her hand on the hot stove. An impulse is received by sensory neuron A and sent to sensory neuron B to provide this information to the brain. Acetylcholine is released to help facilitate movement of the hand from the stove. The motor neurons process the presence of acetylcholine and help coordinate the action. Which component of the scenario would be considered the axonal action? Select the best answer. Answer O sensory neuron A sending an impulse to sensory neuron B Osensory neuron A receiving an impulse Othe release of acetylcholine Omotor neurons processing the presence of acetylcholine

A nerve impulse is passed from one neuron to the next by means of a. transfer of sodium ions across the synapse. b. electrical conductivity where the two cells touch. c. neurotransmitters from the axon. d. a spark "jumps" the gap between them. An understanding of the underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease may lead to treatment with which of the following? a. serotonin b. dopamine c. acetylcholine d. cholinesterase In a neuron, an impulse follows which of the following pathways? a. dendrite, cell body, axon b. axon, cell body, dendrite c. dendrite, axon; the impulse does not pass through the cell body d. cell body, axon, dendrite

a. sensory receptor b. sensory neuron c. interneuron d. motor neuron e. effector (muscle or gland) A stimulus is received by a ____________________________, which initiates an impulse in the ____________________________. The impulse travels through the sensory neuron to the spinal cord and transmits it to the ____________________________. This neuron passes the impulse to the ____________________________, whose axons take the message to an ____________________________ which reacts to the stimulus.

1. The skeletal muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. 2. What is the function of the oligodendrocytes? - Create myelin layer - Clean up cellular debris - Supply blood and nutrients - Alert the body to an infection 3. The cells that make up the nervous system are called neurons. 7. The chemical that moves from the axon of one neuron across a gap to the dendrite of another is a neurotransmitter. 8. White matter appears white due to myelin. 9. A threshold stimulus results in the creation of an action potential. 4. What ions are necessary for a nerve impulse to occur? - Carbon and sodium - Oxygen and carbon - Potassium and sodium - Hydrogen and potassium 10. Reflexes (such as the knee-jerk reflex) occur when impulses travel from the muscle to the spinal cord and then back to the muscle. 5. Gaps between the myelin sheath along an axon are called nodes of Ranvier. 11. Which cell connects neurons to blood vessels? - Astrocyte - Oligodendrocyte - Glial - Myelin
