Portage Learning A&P 2: Final EXAM
Collection of cell bodies found in the peripheral nervous system: - ANS Ganglia
This part of the autonomic system increases digestion. - ANS parasympathetic
The ventral root of a nerve contains what type of neurons - ANS motor (efferent)
Part of neuron that conducts nerve impulse away from cell body - ANS Axon
A neuron going to bicep of the forearm is part of the - ANS Peripheral/ Somatic
T/F: Neurons come into direct physical contact w/ one another. - ANS False: don't physically
touch.
Describe function and release of neurotransmitters - ANS Neurotransmitters are chemicals
stored inside secretory vesicles (axon terminal vesicles) at the end of the axon terminals.
When neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal vesicles, they carry the transmission
of the nerve impulse from one neuron to another.
An efferent neuron carries information: - ANS From the central to the peripheral nervous
system
An afferent neuron carries information: - ANS From the peripheral to the central nervous
system.
An interneuron inside the spinal cord is part of the: - ANS central nervous system
Describe the synthesis and storage of neurotransmitters: - ANS The neuron cell body
manufactures neurotransmitters, which are stored in secretory vesicles at the end of axon
terminals.
A postsynaptic neuron would be found - ANS after the synapse
what is the location and function of satellite cells - ANS location: peripheral nervous system
function: regulate the environment of neuron cell bodies.
what is the location and function of astrocytes - ANS location: central nervous system, the
brain
function: forms the blood, brain barrier
A patients left thumb was severed in a cooking accident and then reattached during surgery.
Would the patient be expected to regrow axons in their thumb? Why? Why not? - ANS Yes.
