Neuronal Flashcards

(20 cards)

1
Q

Describe the action of a Pacinian corpuscle 

A

A strong stimulus produce is a generator potential that exceeds a threshold value

Q

Difference in the structure of the neurons

A

A motor neuron has the cell body on one end and then rights coming out whereas the sensor neuron has a hanging cell body in the middle

Q

Explain spatial versus temporal summation

A

Tempura is one presynaptic neuron releasing multiple times, but spatial is multiple pre-synaptic neurons releasing at different synapse points like different location

Q

What is the all or nothing response?

A

If a threshold is met, then there will be a full action potential

Q

GABA

A

Opens cl ion channels in post synaptic membrane so causes hyper polarisation of the post synaptic membrane

Q

How immune system causes damage to nervous system

A

Antigens on neurones activate it and antibody against neurones are produced so phagocytes break neurone

Q

Why is transmission of action potential slower in absence of saltatory conduction

A

Whole axon needs to be depolarised no nodes of ranvier

Q

Depolarisation of..

17
Q

If no na can enter

A

No action potential no impulse conducted along axon so no release of neurotransmitter

18
Q

Graph

A

Resting at end

19
Q

Why does deformation of plasma membrane of the tip cause the membrane to become more permeable to NA

A

Causes more sodium ion channels to open and so has more gaps between phospholipids

20
Q

Similarities between sensory and motor neurone
