A) Ca +
B) Cl −
C) HCO3 −
D) K+
Which of the following is a consequence of myelination in large nerve fibers?
A) Decreased velocity of nerve impulses
B) Generation of action potentials only at the nodes of Ranvier
C) Increased energy requirement to maintain ion gradients
D) Increased membrane capacitance
E) Increased nonselective diffusion of ions across the axon membrane
Which of the following is not a graded potential?
A. slow-wave potential
B. Receptor potential
C. Action potential
D. end-plate potential
Repolarization phase of action potential is due to:
A. Potassium efflux
B. Sodium efflux
C. Potassium influx
D. Sodium influx
Which statement is not accurate about the absolute refractory period?
A. Another stimulus, regardless of its strength, cannot initiate another action potential during this period.
B. During this period, voltage-gated Na+ channels open, then close and are inactivated.
C. Immediately following this period, the membrane can experience another action potential if the stimulus is strong enough.
D. This period occurs during the hyperpolarization phase of the action potential

C. Action potential move backward
D. Take place in non-myelinated axon
the major excitatory neurotransmitter at neuronal synapses is :
A. Acetylcholine
B. Epinephrine
C. Glutamate
D. GABA
Reduction of membrane potential from -70 to -50 mV is
A. Depolarization
B. Repolarization
C. Hyperpolarization
D. Rest membrane potential
Which statement is incorrect?
A. Saltatory conduction occur in myelinated nerve fibers
B. A local current flow from an active to an adjacent inactive area decreases the potential in the inactive area to threshold.
C. Contiguous conduction occurs along Schwann cells that surround myelinated nerve fibers
D. Saltatory conduction is faster than contiguous conduction.
E. Contiguous Conduction occur in unmyelinated fibers.
