psych 115 midterm 1 UCLA Exam Questions and Answers 100% Pass What is the role of Dorsal root ganglion cells? - Answer- • DRG = unipolar neurons in peripheral nervous system • Job is to relay somatosensory info from skin to spinal cord Describe a touch stimulus. - Answer- • Touch to skin generates a receptor potential by opening mechanoreceptor Na channels • Receptor potential passively propagates (flows) to the integration zone • Receptor potential is attenuated (becomes small...

neuromuscular system - ANSWER coordination and integration of the muscles of the body together with the nerves that supply them cell body (soma) -peripheral - ANSWER dictates the critical firing rate of the action potential. Larger cell bodies are associated with higher critical firing rates. Also contain the structures involved in replication and transmission of the genetic code Dendrites - ANSWER short neural branches that *receive* impulses through numerous connections and conduct...

modern cell theory All known living things are made up of one or more cells. All living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms. The activity of an organism depends on the total activity of independent cells. Energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells. Cells contain DNA which is found specifically in the chromosome and RNA found in the cell nucleus and cytoplasm. All cells are ba...

Question 1 Action potentials move down myelinated axons via saltatory conduction. This is because __________. Possible Answers: they jump from the middle of the gaps to the middle of the myelin sheaths additional impulses boost their speed periodically they jump from gap to gap in between the myelin sheaths they speed up dramatically in areas with more myelin wrapping, depending on the thickness of the sheath Correct answer: they jump from gap to gap in between the myelin sheaths Question 2 Wh...
