Color the image in the diagram according to the following instructions. Then, take a photo (or scan) of your work and upload in the answer form. Part A Color the aplysia however you like! Part B Color the vesicles containing serotonin RED Color the vesicles containing glutamate BLUE Color the serotonin receptor(s) YELLOW Color the glutamate receptor(s) GREEN Color the calcium channel(s) PURPLE Color the potassium channel(s) ORANGE Color the inside of the facilitating interneuron YELLOW Color the inside of the sensory neuron PINK Color the inside of the motor neuron ORANGE Part C Color the sensory neuron from the siphon PINK Color the motor neuron to the gill ORANGE Color the sensory neuron from the tail GREEN Color the facilitating interneuron YELLOW Color the siphon RED Color the gill BLUE Color the tail PURPLE Q4.b When serotonin is released, what effect does it have on the postsynaptic neuron (i.e. on the receiving side of the serotonergic synapse)? Q4.c When glutamate is released, what effect does it have on the postsynaptic neuron (e.g. on the receiving side of the glutamatergic synapse)?

18. A virus has attacked neurons of the somatic sensory system of your patient. This virus hides out or lives in the cell bodies of 2nd order neurons. You have developed a drug to inactivate or 'kill' the virus, but it must be applied near to where the virus is located. Where would you deliver this drug? in the.. a. thalamus b. primary motor cortex c. postcentral gyrus d. dorsal root ganglia e. dorsal gray horn 19. Much information is contained in the name of a tract found in the white matter of the spinal cord. Which of the following is/are true regarding the posterior spinocerebellar tract? MARK ALL THAT APPLY a. It ends in the cortex of the cerebrum b. It begins in the spinal cord c. It carries motor information d. It carries sensory information e. It begins in the cortex of the cerebrum 20. The upper motor neurons of pyramidal or direct pathway tracts that you consciously control are located in the: a. thalamus b. dorsal gray horn c. postcentral gyrus d. primary motor cortex e. dorsal root ganglia 21. The pineal gland releases this hormone at night. It is involved in regulating the sleep/wake cycle: a. melanin b. dopamine c. melatonin d. serotonin e. gonadotropin-releasing hormone [GnRH] 22. If we were to connect you to an EEG machine and measure your brain waves while taking this exam, you would likely exhibit waves that are irregular, high frequency, and have a relatively low amplitude compared to deep sleep waves. These would be considered: a. alpha b. beta c. theta d. delta e. all these would be measured. 23. A patient arrives in the ER appearing to be under the influence of drugs. Despite shining a light into his eyes, his pupils are still dilated or enlarged. The drug he has taken stimulates: a. cannot determine - need more information b. different signals to the primary sensory cortex c. different signals from the primary motor cortex d. parasympathetic system e. sympathetic system 24. Some children are born with a disorder in which they cannot sense pain. Which receptors are affected? a. mechanoreceptors b. chemoreceptors c. proprioceptors d. nociceptors

At the equilibrium potential, what are the two forces that keep ions in balance? {Ch.2, Electrical Transmission} a. concentration gradient; electrostatic gradient b. Na+/K+ pump; threshold c. Na+/K+ pump; electrostatic gradient d. concentration gradient; action potential 2. During the refractory period, no additional action potentials can be generated for a period of time. This phenomenon occurs because voltage-gated Na+ channels get inactivated temporarily. {Ch.2, Electrical Transmission} a. integration; Na+/K+ pumps b. absolute refractory; voltage-gated Na+ c. relative refractory; voltage-gated K+ d. conduction; voltage-gated Ca2+ 3. Which statement about action potentials is false? {Ch.2, Electrical Transmission} a. Extreme excitation will result in a very large action potential. b. They are considered all-or-none. c. They are generated at the axon hillock. d. They can move via saltatory conduction in myelinated axons. 4. Clusters of cell bodies in the CNS (central nervous system) are called nuclei, and their associated bundles of axons are called tracts. {Ch.2, Organization of Nervous System} a. nuclei; nerves b. nuclei; tracts c. ganglia; nerves d. ganglia; tracts 5. The most common type of synapse in the brain is the axodendritic synapse. {Ch.3, Chemical Signaling between Nerve Cells} a. axosomatic b. gap junction c. axodendritic d. axoaxonic 6. The sac-like structures in the presynaptic terminal are called synaptic vesicles and are filled with neurotransmitters. {Ch.3, Chemical Signaling between Nerve Cells} a. synaptic vesicles; neurotransmitters b. synaptic vesicles; mitochondria c. mitochondria; neurotransmitters d. mitochondria; ATP 7. The classical neurotransmitters do not include neuropeptides. {Ch.3, Neurotransmitter Synthesis, Release, and Inactivation} a. neuropeptides b. amino acids c. monoamines d. acetylcholine 8. The process of releasing neurotransmitter molecules from the vesicles is known as exocytosis and occurs as a result of Ca2+ influx into the presynaptic terminals (buttons). {Ch.3, Neurotransmitter Synthesis, Release, and Inactivation} a. docking; K+ b. endocytosis; Na+ c. endocytosis; Ca2+ d. exocytosis; Ca2+ 9. Ligand-gated ion channels are fast/ionotropic; G protein-coupled receptors are slow/metabotropic. {Ch.3, Neurotransmitter Receptors and Second-Messengers} a. fast/metabotropic; slow/ionotropic b. fast/ionotropic; slow/metabotropic c. slow/metabotropic; fast/ionotropic d. slow/ionotropic; fast/metabotropic 10. Nitric oxide is an example of a substance that can act as both a neurotransmitter and a hormone. {Ch.3, Endocrine System} a. Norepinephrine b. Acetylcholine c. Nitric oxide d. Cortisol

EPSPs are a result of depolarizing sodium current, hyperpolarizing potassium current, hyperpolarizing chloride current, or none of the above. Which of the following is not a function of the spinal meninges? - physical support - provide space for circulating CSF - isolation of the spinal cord from the rest of the body - conduction of action potentials Somatic motor neuron cell bodies are located in the anterior gray horn of the spinal cord and leave the central nervous system via the ventral root. Polysynaptic reflexes have at least one interneuron, occur during stretch reflexes, and maintain proper posture. Somatic motor commands are initiated in the primary motor cortex. Which of the following receptor types is direct-acting? - Beta-1 Adrenergic - Alpha-1 Adrenergic - Muscarinic Cholinergic - Nicotinic Cholinergic The basal nuclei and cerebellum are both involved in helping the primary motor cortex refine movements based on prior experience. Type A neurons are myelinated, conduct action potentials faster than type B and C fibers, and utilize saltatory propagation. Which of the following neurotransmitters falls into the peptide class? - Acetylcholine - Epinephrine - Substance P - Glutamate Spatial summation occurs when two presynaptic neurons simultaneously stimulate a change in postsynaptic potential.
