How do microglia impact neuronal function? They decrease the rate of firing and increase synaptic adhesion molecules. They decrease the rate of firing and decrease synaptic adhesion molecules. They decrease the number of synapses and increase synaptic adhesion molecules. They increase the rate of firing and increase synapse numbers. Which repair mechanism does not occur in mammals when nervous tissue is damaged? Long-range regrowth of damaged axons in the central nervous system. Restoration of damaged central neurons. Neurogenesis. Long-range regrowth of damaged axons in the peripheral nervous system.

Acetylcholine is neurotransmitter that evokes different responses in different cells. In skeletal muscle cells, it causes and in heart cells, it contraction; decrease frequency of firing expansion; decrease frequency of firing contraction; secretion it evokes the same response in all cell types Question 2 Receptors on surface of the cell bind to extracellular signaling molecules and convey the signal to the interior of the cell; There are three main classes of cell surface receptors. Which of the following is not one of them? Enzyme coupled receptors G-protein coupled receptors Steroid coupled receptors Ion channel coupled receptors

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, most neurons release a chemical called a neurotransmitter. Which of the following statements regarding this process is INCORRECT? A. Ca2+ influx into the axon terminal results in fusion of the membranes of the synaptic vesicle and the neuronal cell membrane. B. Ca2+ influx into the axon terminal occurs by active transport of Ca2+ ions against its concentration gradient across the cell membrane. C. The process by which neurotransmitter release occurs from the axon terminal is exocytosis. D. An action potential reaching the axon terminal causes the opening of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. E. Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles in the axon terminal of the neuron.
