What is the most basic cell of Nervous System
Neuron
The __________ potential is when the neurons are at rest (-70mV).
Resting (Vilopotential)
PNS means
peripheral nervous system
The repolarization phase of the action potential occurs because
positive ions (K+) begin to leave the cell
The bicep and tricep are which type of muscles:
A. Antagonistic
B. Synergistic
A. Antagonistic (when one contracts, one extends)
What part of the Neuron receives the signal from the previous Neuron?
Dendrite
What is the term for a chemical messenger?
Neurotransmitter
What positive ion first enters the Neuron during the action potential process?
Sodium
After being released, neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the
Post Synaptic Neuron
What are the three main layers in the skin?
Dermis, epidermis and hypodermis
Svenska: Överhud, läderhud, underhud
What Part of the Neuron sends signals to the next Neuron in the pathway?
Axon Terminal
Name of the phenomenon where the action potential "jumps" between Nodes of Ranvier on the axon.
Saltatory conduction
What is the resting membrane potential of a Neuron
-70mV
Neurotransmitters travel in here to reach the receptors
Synaptic Cleft
Name the two types of cells found in the epidermis.
Hint: both words have this format in "______cytes"
Keratinocytes, melanocytes
Svenska: keratinocyter, melanocyter
What is the Space between a dendrite and axon known as?
synapse
what are the two subdivisions of the ANS (autonomic nervous system)?
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
Action Potential occurs when...(which voltage)
The Threshold is reached (-55mV)
What is the point of the Myelin sheath on an axon?
Insulates the axon to make the action potential travel faster.

Smooth (involuntary), cardiac (involuntary) and skeletal (voluntary)
Glätt (ofrivilliga), hjärt (ofrivilliga) och skelettmuskler (viljestyrda).
What is the name of the insulated and non-insulated spaces on the axon?
Nodes of Ranvier and Myelinated sections (made of Myelin sheath cells)
Describe the function of the Na/K+ Pump
An ATP-driven pump that pumps 3 Na+ out, 2 K+ into the cell to keep the overall cell potential negative.
Helps restore resting potential after an action potential.
Depolarization occurs when
Na+ ions move into the cell
