Exam 4:How Do Neurons Use Electrical Signals to Transmit Information? Part B

Lou Gehrig's disease is also known as:

A change in the resting potential from -70 mV to -68 mV is called:

Depolarization is primarily linked with _____,whereas hyperpolarization is mainly linked with _____.

Erica is an 18-year-old in her first year of university.One day while she was watching a video in class,Erica started to hear what she thought was music playing.Suddenly,she began shaking in her seat and fell to the floor.After the incident ended,one of her classmates helped her to the campus medical center,where she was later diagnosed as having:

Myasthenia gravis is:

Refractory periods are due to:

Which of the following is NOT involved in producing the resting potential?

A cell cannot produce an action potential:

The speed at which nerve impulses travel down an axon are greatly increased by:

Large protein anions are:

Microelectrodes can:

_____ is often accompanied by drooping eyelids,difficulty swallowing,and general fatigue.

Another term for volts is:

To measure the voltage across the cell membrane,you would normally:

Tetrodotoxin (puffer fish poison)mainly influences:

EPSPs are associated with:

On larger myelinated axons,nerve impulses can reach speeds of up to _____ meters per second.

The _____ acts in a way similar to a democracy in that it "counts votes" from incoming EPSPs and IPSPs,and if there is enough excitation,an action potential will fire.

A change in the resting potential from -70 mV to -50 mV typically results in:

Electricity is a flow of electrons from a body that contains a higher charge (more electrons)to a body that has a lower charge (fewer electrons).The body containing the higher electrical charge is called a:
