What does the golgi complex do?

What is the function of the ribosomes and edoplasmic reticulum?

What do the mitochondria do?

What is the function of Myellin?

What is the function of the Micro Tubules

What is the function of the terminal buttons?

What is the function of the Synaptic Vesicles

What is the function of dendrites?

The Golgi Complex is only found inside the cell body of the neuron.

(False) Golgi Complexes can be found in both the cell body and the terminal buttons.

What isn't observed in a patient diagnosed with Alzheimer's Dementia?

Sometimes neurons sustain damage, this can be associated with (x) inside the neuron.

Sometimes neurons sustain damage, this can be associated with (x) outside the neuron.

Which of the following characteristics doesn't refer to amyloid plaques?

Neurofibrillary tangeles are primary found in neocortex levels II and IV.

Although Neurofibrillary tangles are found throughout all 6 layers of the neocortex, they are primarily found in layers III and V.

What structural problem is a characteristic marker of idiopathic Parkinson's Disease?

Lewy Bodies, Neurofibrillary tangles and Amyloid plaques are always present when somone is diagnosed with there respective disease/s.

(False) Although these problematic structures are associated with specific diseases, they are not guaranteed to be the cause. Sometimes people with Alzheimer's Dementia may have no amyloid plaques present in their brains, others who were never diagnosed and die of an unrelated causes may have amyloid plaques present.
