A chemical synapse is a type of synapse that occurs between two neurons and between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers (i.e. at a Neuromuscular junction, NMJ). Compare and contrast the specific events that occur at chemical synapses at these two sites. Describe clearly how they are similar and how they are different, starting at the arrival of a nerve impulse at the pre-synaptic neuron and ending up with the changes observed at the postsynaptic membranes.
If a patient was experiencing difficulty controlling their movement and displaying motor tremors and this problem was seen ONLY in the central nervous system (not PNS), what system in the central nervous system is likely where the dysfunction is located, what neurotransmitter would likely be related to these symptoms, and what would be the effect of blocking reuptake for this neurotransmitter if the patient was given a reuptake inhibitor for this neurotransmitter?
Discuss a situation where the nervous system is functionally influencing the work system. (Give 5 situation and explain it)
Identify the parts of a neuron or a brain that correspond to the given functions below. The parts are found inside the grid and loop these words either horizontally, vertically, diagonally or inversely. 1. controls the growth of a nerve cell 2. carry impulses or messages toward the cell body 3. carry messages away from the cell body 4. serves as the body’s life support system 5. coordinates muscle movement 6. responsible for mental processes 7. controls breathing, heart rate and swallowing 8. controls the movement of the eye 9. regulates breathing and helps control eye movement 10. serves as a relay station for senses
Identify the inhibitory neurotransmitter which opens chloride ion channels. gamma amino butyric acid acetylcholine tubocurarine strychnine glutamate Spastic paralysis (resulting from the failure of muscles to relax), induced by the neurotoxin strychnine, occurs when this poison blocks the binding of: the excitatory neurotransmitter acetylcholine to post-synaptic sodium channels the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate to post-synaptic calcium channels the excitatory neurotransmitter serotonin to post-synaptic potassium channels the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine to post-synaptic chloride channels the inhibitory neurotransmitter melatonin to post-synaptic bicarbonate channels

Classify the following characteristics to demonstrate your knowledge of differences between the autonomic and somatic divisions of the nervous system. Neurons release acetylcholine that binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors located on the effector organs Can lead to excitation or inhibition of the Neurons are also called motor neurons effectors Receptors on effector organs are also responsive to epinephrine that is released into the blood by the adrenal medulla Innervates smooth and cardiac muscle, glands, and Gl neurons Neurons release norepinephrine that binds to adrenergic receptors located on the effector organs Has two-neuron chain between the CNS Single neuron between the CNS and effectors Neurons release acetylcholine that binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors located on the effector organs and effectors Can lead only to excitation of the effectors Activates skeletal muscles Autonomic Nervous System Somatic Nervous System
The task is about how signals propagate from one nerve cell to another, and consists of three sub-questions. Describe what happens in the nerve terminal when an action potential reaches there. Describe what happens in the target cell if the incoming signal is excitatory. Describe which neurotransmitters and receptors are involved in the various switches (synapses) in the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system.
The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, or NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a tool used by healthcare providers to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke. The NIHSS is composed of 11 items, each of which scores a specific ability between a 0 and 4. For each item, a score of 0 typically indicates normal function in that specific ability, while a higher score is indicative of some level of impairment. Make a list of the 11 items included in the NIHSS and write the corresponding scores for each item. You may also include the minimum to maximum possible total scores with their interpretation based on stroke severity.
For this question you may use either a neuron or a skeletal muscle fiber (but not both) to answer. In words and/or figures, describe how the binding of a neurontransmitter to its receptor eventually leads to a mechanical event (neurotransmitter release or skeletal muscle contraction). In other words, describe the steps involved in either muscle contraction or nerve conduction. Remember: You may either 1) type your answer here, 2) type in a separate file and upload the file here with or without additional images or 3) write your answer on a separate sheet of paper, scan or screenshot an image of your response and upload the file here.
Catecholamines are neurotransmitters that are produced in the adrenal glands and are released during a stress response. Some typical effects are increased heart rate, increased blood glucose levels and elevated blood pressure. Examples include dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Reserpine is a drug that can control high blood pressure by reducing the number of catecholamine neurotransmitters present in the synapse. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the effect of reserpine in the synapse and the division of the nervous system it affects? Select one: а. Effect in the Synapse Division of the Nervous System Keeps catecholamines longer in the synapse Sympathetic nervous system b. Effect in the Synapse Division of the Nervous System Inhibits release of catecholamines from the presynaptic neuron Sympathetic nervous system С. Effect in the Synapse Division of the Nervous System Inhibits release of catecholamines from presynaptic neuron Parasympathetic nervous system d.…
