What is the most basic cell of Nervous System 

Neuron

100

The __________ potential is when the neurons are at rest (-70mV).

Resting (Vilopotential)

100

PNS means

peripheral nervous system

100

The repolarization phase of the action potential occurs because

positive ions (K+) begin to leave the cell

100

The bicep and tricep are which type of muscles:

A. Antagonistic

B. Synergistic

A. Antagonistic (when one contracts, one extends)

200

What part of the Neuron receives the signal from the previous Neuron?

Dendrite

200

What is the term for a chemical messenger?

Neurotransmitter

200

What positive ion first enters the Neuron during the action potential process?

Sodium

200

After being released, neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the

Post Synaptic Neuron

200

What are the three main layers in the skin?

Dermis, epidermis and hypodermis

Svenska: Överhud, läderhud, underhud

300

What Part of the Neuron sends signals to the next Neuron in the pathway?

Axon Terminal

300

Name of the phenomenon where the action potential "jumps" between Nodes of Ranvier on the axon.

Saltatory conduction

300

What is the resting membrane potential of a Neuron

-70mV

300

Neurotransmitters travel in here to reach the receptors

Synaptic Cleft

300

Name the two types of cells found in the epidermis.

Hint: both words have this format in "______cytes"

Keratinocytes, melanocytes

Svenska: keratinocyter, melanocyter

400

What is the Space between a dendrite and axon known as?

synapse

400

what are the two subdivisions of the ANS (autonomic nervous system)?

Sympathetic and parasympathetic

400

Action Potential occurs when...(which voltage)

The Threshold is reached (-55mV)

400

What is the point of the Myelin sheath on an axon?

Insulates the axon to make the action potential travel faster.

400

Name the 3 muscle cell types, and state which ones are voluntary (viljestyrd) and which are involuntary (inte viljestyrd)?

Smooth (involuntary), cardiac (involuntary) and skeletal (voluntary)

Glätt (ofrivilliga), hjärt (ofrivilliga) och skelettmuskler (viljestyrda).

500

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)

500

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.

500

Depolarization occurs when

Na+ ions move into the cell

500

Name the 4 steps of the Action potential, the name of each step, and the polarization of the cell in mV.

1. Action Potential (-55mV)

2. Depolarization (+35mV)

3. Repolarization and Hyperpolarization (-90mV)

4. Resting Potential (-70mV)

500

Name each part of the joint (leder):
