Q

A generalized neuron

Study These Flashcards
A

Dendrites: receives info from other neurons via synapses
Cell body (soma): contains nucleus and most cell organelles
Axon Hillock: integrates info collected by dendrites and initiates action potentials
Axon: telephone line of nerve cell that synapses at terminal to target cell (other neuron, gland or muscle cell)

20
Q

Neurons:

Study These Flashcards
A

generate and transmit electrical signals

21
Q

Glial cells (6)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • electrical insulation of nerve cells
  • blood-brain barrier
  • uptake of transmitter
  • provide nutrients, O2
  • maintain extracellular environment
  • fight infections of the nervous system
    # of glial cells = # of nerve cells
22
Q

Neurons work electrochemically

Study These Flashcards
A

“Electro”: difference in charge across the cell (neuron) membrane
“Chemical”: concentration gradients of ions across cell membrane
Lipid Bilayer prevents free movement on ions
Ion channel and ion transporter prevents ion flux across membrane

23
Q

Membranes and membrane potentials

Study These Flashcards
A

Cells are surrounded by Lipid membranes = ions normally can’t pass through them - allows cells to change ion composition of their interior cytoplasm relative to their surrounding
ion pumps are used to bring in/pump out ions - they are specialized to transport specific ions across their membrane
their active process requires E from ATP
High concentration of Na+ outside and K+ inside

24
Q

Voltage-gated ion channels

Study These Flashcards
A

Closed-Open - inactivated channels
channels are ion-selective
To open them: reduction in membrane potential caused by a stimulus such as sensory input/transmission of an impulse from a neuron

25
Resting Potential
Resting membrane potential is caused by differences in the concentrations of ions inside/outside cell difference of charge inside/outside cell is governed by ionic species (mostly potassium)
26
Activation: opening of potassium channels
- Excitable cells can use the resting potential through voltage ion channels - Voltage-gated sodium channels are closed at resting potential. They open for ion flow whne the mmrbane potential shifts above a certain threshold 1. Resting: Na+ and K+ channels closed 2. Depolarization: Na+ channel open 3. Hyperpolarization: Na+ channels close, K+ channels open
27
Formation of an action potential:
1. Stimulus from a sensory cell causes the target cell to depolarize toward the threshold potential 2. If the threshold of excitation is reached, all Na+ channels open and the membrane depolarizes 3. AT the peak action potential, K+ channels open and K+ begins to leave the cell. Na+ channels close 4. Membrane becomes hyperpolarized K+ ions leave cell. Hyperpolarized membrane is in a refractory period (cannot fire) 5. K+ channels close and Na+/K+ transporter restores the resting potential
28
Transmission of signal along the axon
- waves of depolarization is spreading down the axon, which makes stimulus - transmission of signal along axon: the action potential must travel along the axon and reach the axon terminals, where it can initiate neurotransmitter release Speed of conduction varies with the tissue standing wave goes down the axon, to the synapse which transmits the info
29
Myelin
insulator to prevent current ion from leaving axon, increasing speed of action potential conduction
30
Synaptic transmission between neurons
synaptic cleft = fluid filled space neurotransmission at a chemical synapse begins with the arrival of an action potential at the presynaptic axon terminal an action potential will depolarize the membrane when it reaches the axon. The voltage-gated Na channels are opened, Na ions enter the cell, furthuer depoarlized the presynaptic membrane - This depolarization causes voltage-gated Ca channels to open. Ca ions enter the cell, initiating a signaling cascade
31
Eyes - Mollusca
- every grade of complexity, from simple photoreceptor to image forming eyes, is found among molluscs
32
Larvae
- gastrula develops into a ciliated-band larva - species with external fertilization: first larval stage is trochophore, giving rise to the characteristic molluscan veliger larva - Species with internal fertilization: trochophore stage is passed within an egg capsule, and the animal hatches as a veliger
33
Trochophores
named for the wheel-like appearance of the main ciliary band. Mouth opens just below the prototroph, the anus is posterior and terminal
34
Gastropods and bivalves
have veliger larvae. It has the basis topology of a trochophore but with an expanded ventral foot region with an operculum (shell secreted to enclose the visceral mass)
35
Torsion
- during the development of veliger, the visceral mass rotates 180 degrees - mantle cavity, gills, anus, gonopore, and nephridiopore are now anterior, above the head - creates difficulties in the disposal of waste over the head - Advantage: permits a compact body form protected by the shell once the mantle cavity has moved forward - twisting of gut and crossing of nerve cord is caused my torsion
36
Metamorphosis
- veliger lives from a few hours to a few weeks in the plankton. - organs are retained as the larval heart regresses - larval shell is retained as the protoconch at the tip of the shell spire
37
Conus
modification of the radula for predation
38
Opisthobranch Molluscs: Nudibranchs
- Radula is present - Hermaphroditic - compete male and female systems, internal fertilization - externally bilaterally symmetrical - no shells - instead of being protected, they are poisonous - Don't do torsion - Respiratory structures on their back - Some nudibranchs lack dorsal projections and resemble polyclad flatworms (very coloured) - Convergent evolution of pelagic gastropods by modification of the foot: Pterotrachea, Corolla
39
Pulmonate Gastropods: breathing
- familiar snails and slugs - extremely diverse and abundant in terrestrial and freshwater habitat - conversion of the mantle cavity - spirally coiled shell or shell reduced or absent in some terrestrial groups
40
Bivalvia
- headless mollusks - no jaw or radula - buried forms communicate with surface through siphons - mantle cavity contains a pair of large ciliated gills
41
Scaphopoda
- curved tubular shell, open at both ends - retractile foot - modified for filamentous outgrowth - lies buried head down in sand or mud - ciliated tentacles which probe for food - lost their heads
42
Cephalopoda
- squids, octopus - have nervous and sensory system - Foot modified into grasping organs - advanced in image-forming eyes
43
Nautilus
- restricted to indo-parcific tropics at moderate depth o fringing reefs - predators on crustaceans - also scanvengers - locomotion by jet propulsion using funnel
44
Giant Squid
- part of cephalopod - Enormous animal - deepwater predators - predators are sperm whales
45
Polyplacophora
- have calcareous shell - have a radula - present in all seas - Chitons
46
Monoplacophora
- became extinct a long time ago and were re-discovered in 1952 - Broad ventral foot
47
Aplacophora
- body covered with calcareous spicules
