Na+ gates open before K+ gates
The voltage-gated potassium channels close before the membrane potential is brought back to its resting level.
false
An action potential arriving at the presynaptic terminal causes
voltage-gated calcium ion channels to open, and calcium ions to diffuse into the cell

Within a neuron, information is transmitted down the length of a single axon through
electrical signals called action potentials
Once neurotransmitters flow into the synaptic cleft between two neurons
They bind to receptor proteins on the surface of the postsynaptic neuron, they start a chain of events that results in a new action potential being generated within the postsynaptic neuron, they cause receptors to release sodium ions into the postsynaptic neuron
Which of the following is a benefit of using chemical signals rather than electrical signals to send messages to the next neuron?
Electrical signals are too weak to cross the synaptic cleft, Multiple neurotransmitters are able to be released at once, increasing the range of responses generated, the distance between neurons is too far for an electrical signal to travel
The cells of the nervous tissue are all neurons, or cells that transmit nerve impulses.
false
The gap where there is no myelin sheath around a nerve fiber is called a node of Ranvier.
True
Which one of the following is entirely located within the CNS
interneuron
Which part of the brain is not functioning correctly if an individual cannot learn new facts and retain them?
hippocampus
How is alcohol classified?
depressant
Place the events in the transmission of an action potential in the correct order:
1. An action potential begins in the receiving neuron.
2. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic
cleft.
3. An action potential arrives at an axon terminal.
4. Calcium ions enter the axon terminal.
5. Sodium ions diffuse into the receiving neuron.
6. Synaptic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane.
7. Neurotransmitter molecules bind to the membrane of the receiving neuron

The hypothalamus also helps to regulate___
body temperature
Select all of the following that could happen to the neurotransmitter after it binds to the receiving membrane receptor

Which of the following secretes erythropoietin
kidney
How are the nervous system and the endocrine system alike?
they both regulate the activities of other systems
Why is the pancreas both an endocrine and an exocrine gland?
because it produces at least 1 hormone that is delivered through a duct and 1 that is delivered to the bloodstream
