BME 111: (2007 FALL)

Take Assessment: Bioelectricity


1. The structures that conduct information away from the cell body and are quite variable in
length are called the?
dendrites
cell bodies
axons
sarcolemmas
all of the above
2.

The principle anion outside the cell is?


Cl DNA
K+
Proteins

3. In the brain, one neuron may form synapses with up to 10,000 other neurons.
True
False
4. The resting membrane potential is primarily due to

separation of proteins
separation of lipids
separation of charges
separation of cells

first guess was D and it was wrong. Changed to answer C.


5.

some emergent properties of the brain include

music
consciousness
cognition
language
All of the above

6. The principle anion in the cell is

K+
ClDNA

Proteins

7. The nervous system is able to integrate and control some of the functions of the
organism because of its signalling properties.
True
False

8. The resting membrane potential is negative because

there are many proteins inside the cell.


there are many K+ inside the cell
there are many Na+ ions outside the cell.
the lipid bilayer is amphipathic.

9. Synapses

are the junctions between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another
neuron
contain volatge-gated calcium channels
contain numerous synaptic vesicles that contain one type of neurotransmitter
All of the above

10. The structures that receive information in a neuron are called the

dendrites
cell bodies
axons
sarcolemmas

11. The voltage-gated sodium channel is closed when

the membrane potential decreases to -80 mV.


the threshold voltage value for the membrane potential is reached
the sodium concentration is 10 fold greater outside the cell than inside the cell.
the membrane potential reaches 30 mV

12. Neurons (nerve cells) contain

dendrites
cell bodies
axons
all of the above
B and C

13. The cerebellum is involved in

speech and language


emotions
coordination of movements and balance
mathematics

14. The synaptic vesicles


contain many molecules of a specific neurotransmitter
fuse with the plasma membrane when Ca++ ions are present in the cytoplasm
release the neurotransmitter molecules into the synaptic cleft
All of the above
A and C
15. Opening the voltage gated sodium channel

allows sodium ions to diffuse into the cell .


allows sodium ions to diffuse out of the cell
allows potassium ions to diffuse into the cell
allows chloride ions to diffuse into the cell
