Microtubules
Intermediate Filaments
Microfilaments
B and C
All of the above
If axoplasmic transport is impaired, which of the following is most likely to result?
The axon cannot propagate action potentials
The soma cannot produce new proteins
The axon terminal runout of neurotransmitter proteins
The membrane potential gets stuck at -80mV
The dendritic spines fail to mature
Which of the following is most responsible for generating and maintaining the ionic concentration gradients required for action potentials?
Voltage Gated sodium channels
Potassium leak channel
Calcium pump
Voltage-gated potassium channel
Sodium-potassium pump
Which equation can be used to calculate an ion's exact equilibrium potential, given its intracellular and extracellular concentrations?
Nernst equation
Van der Waals equation
Faraday equation
Goldman Equation
Kepler equation
Which of the following will speed up action potential conduction?
More sodium leak channels
Thicker Axons
Removing Myelin
More and larger nodes of Ranvier
Longer axons
A neuron has an intracellular K+ concentration of 150mM and an extracellular K+ concentration of 9mM. Is K+ likely to flow into or out of the neuron?
Into
Out of
Do you expect the equilibrium potential for K+ to be...
Positive
Negative
Neutral
Imagine the extracellular K+ has increased to 90mM. What happens to the equilibrium potential for K+?
It becomes more positive (less negative) than before.
It becomes more negative (less positive) than before.
It does not change.
How will this change in extracellular K+ concentration affect resting membrane potential for the neuron?
It will raise the resting membrane potential
It will lower the resting membrane potential.
It will not change.
Used at the neuromuscular junction.

When AMPA receptors are activated:
They produce an EPSP
They produce and IPSP
None of the above
Where are gap junctions found?
Synapse between a neuron and a muscle cell
Electrical synapses
Synapse between a neuron and a glandular cell
Chemical synapses
Which family of neurotransmitters includes members that are synthesized in the cytosol of the axon terminal?
Amino Acids
Amines
Peptides
A and B
All of the above
Why do NMDA receptors only activate when the neuron is depolarized?
The NT cannot bind to the NMDA receptor until the neuron depolarizes
The S4 helix twists when the membrane depolarizes
The receptor repels its associated G-protein when the neuron is polarized
A magnesium ion blocks the channel pore when the neuron is polarized
Which of the following statements regarding the ventricular system is FALSE?
The ventricle contain cerebrospinal fluid
The space of the ventricular system is continuous with the subarachnoid space
The lateral ventricles are not connected to the rest of the ventricular system
Choroid plexus lining each ventricle produces CSF
The Cell bodies in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord:
Are motor neuron cell bodies
Are interneuron cell bodies
Are primary somatosensory cell bodies
Receive input from the primary somatosensory neurons
