Name 4 types of glia and their function

What is 

astrocytes = BBB, maintain environment 

microglia = immune cells of brain 

oligodendrocytes = makes up myelin sheath of CNS

Schwann cells = makes up myelin sheath of PNS

100

Thalamus and hypothalamus is derived from which region of neural tube

What is diencephalon

100

Parts of an atom with charges 

What is 

Middle/nucleus = proton (+) and neutron (no charge) 

Outside/shells = electrons (-) 

100

Concentration of ions at rest 

What is more sodium outside what is more potassium inside

100

Major excitatory and major inhibitory NT 

what is glutamate and GABA 

200

Draw a diagram of a neuron and label the parts 

What is diagarm of a neuron 


200

Germ layer that majority of nervous system develops from

What is ectoderm

200

Products of mitosis and meiosis 

Mitosis = two identical daughter cells 

Meiosis = 4 non-identical gametes 

200

membrane potential change under threshold

what is graded potential

200

name of acetylcholine ionotrophic and metabotrophic channels 

I = nicotinic 

M = muscarinic 

300

Innervation of the somatic nervous system 

What is skeletal muscle 

300

Order of ventricles 

lateral- intraventricular foramen - 3rd - cerebral aqueduct - 4th 

300

Oxygen's role in cellular respiration

Final electron acceptor

300
Channel roles, when do they open, ions that flow through 

What is 

-Voltage gated sodium = opens threshold potential 

  Na comes into cell through passive transport

- Voltage gated potassium = opens threshold potential 

   K leaves cell through passive transport 

- Na-K pump = always open 

   3 na out 2 K in 

300
precursor of catecholamine synthesis

Tyrosine 

400

Draw/describe 3 differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system

What is function 

P = Rest and digest 

S = Fight or flight 

What is neurotransmitters

P = acetycholine

S = acetylcholine AND norepinephrine + epinephrine 

What is origin in spine 

P = thoracic and lumbar 

S = cervical and sacral (organized in sympathetic chain ganglia)

PPT slide 1 (answer 1-5)


Double points (explain function as well) 

See slide 

400

Location, and function of each metabolic pathway 

Glycolysis = anaerobic, cytoplasm/cytosol to create small amounts of ATP and a product of citric acid cycle (pyruvate) 

Citric acid cycle = mitochondrial matrix, to create high energy electron carriers for ETC 

Electron transport chain = aerobic, mitochondrial membrane, to create huge amounts of ATP using oxygen as the final electron acceptor

400

Draw action potential chart 

Slide ppt 6

400
Agonists, antagonists of acetylcholine channels including effect

Slide

500

Draw the diagram of innerviation of sympathetic and parasympathetic innerviation (including sympathetic exception) 

(slide 20 chapter 1) 

500

Explain pairs of anatomical directions

slide ppt 4

500

Your SI's roommates names

Jessica and Dan

500

Draw the refractory periods on AP chart 

Explain why we have them 

Slide 

-What is preventing the signal from traveling backwards 

-Relative: undershoot of hyperpolarization due to increased stimulus to reach threshold

-Absolute: inactivation of sodium channels prevents a new AP from forming

500

Steps of synaptic transmission 

What is 

1. Action potential arrives

2. voltage gated Ca opens and Ca influx 

3. Ca causes synaptic vesicles to move to membrane 

4. exocytosis of neurotransmitters
