Which of the following does not contribute to propagation of action potentials? a. As the area outside the membrane becomes negative, itattracts ions from adjacent regions; as the inside of the membrane becomes positive, it attracts negative ions from nearby in the cytoplasm. These events depolarize nearby regions of the axon membrane. b. The refractory period allows the impulse to travel in only one direction. c. Each segment of the axon prevents the adjacent segments from firing. d. The magnitude of the action potential stays the same as it travels down the axon. e. Up to a limit, increasing the intensity of the stimulus increases the number of action potentials.
View the University of Michigan Webscope (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nervefiber) to see an electron micrograph of a cross-section of a myelinated nerve fiber. The axon contains microtubules and neurofilaments, bounded by a plasma membrane known as the axolemma. Outside the plasma membrane of the axon is the myelin sheath, which is composed of the tightly wrapped plasma membrane of a Schwann cell. What aspects of the cells in this image react with the stain that makes them the deep, dark, black color, such as the multiple layers that are the myelin sheath?
Which of the following statements best describes saltatory conduction? a. It inhibits direct neurotransmitter release. b. It transmits the action potential at the nodes of Ranvier andthus speeds up impulses on myelinated axons. c. It increases neurotransmitter release at the presynapticmembrane. d. It decreases neurotransmitter uptake at chemically gatedpostsynaptic channels. e. It removes neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft.
Assume presynaptic excitatory neuron A terminates on a postsynaptic cell near the axon hillock and presynaptic excitatory neuron B terminates on the same postsynaptic cell on a dendrite located on the side of the cell body opposite the axon hillock. Explain why rapid firing of presynaptic neuron A could bring the postsynaptic neuron to threshold through temporal summation, thus initiating an action potential, whereas firing of presynaptic neuron B at the same frequency and the same magnitude of EPSPs may not bring the postsynaptic neuron to threshold.

When a neuron reaches threshold voltage, all voltage-gated channels are triggered to make conformational changes. The order in which this happens comes down to the timing/speed/kinetics of the different gates on the channels. Put the following events in the order they occur after a neuron reaches threshold voltage. 1. Voltage-gated K+ channels finish closing their gate. 2. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open their activation gate, increasing Na+ permeability. 3. Voltage-gated Na+ channels close their inactivation gates, reducing Na+ permeability. 4. Voltage-gated K+ channels open their gate, increasing K+ permeability. 5. Voltage-gated Na+ channels reset to their original conformation.

Events in Synaptic Signal Transmission 1. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft. 2. Neurotransmitters bind to ion channels. 3. Sodium ions enter into the dendrites. 4. Neurotransmitters are returned to the axon terminal, broken down by the enzymes or diffused away from the synapse. 5. Action potential arrives in axon terminal. 6. Synaptic vesicles containing the neurotransmitters fuse with the presynaptic membrane. 7. lon channels open.
