What is the structure of a neuron?
-
Cell Body -> Axon -> Dendrites -> Dendrites of Adjecent Neurons
-
Axon -> Dendrites -> Cell Body -> Dendrites of Adjecent Neurons
-
Dendrites ->Cell Body ->Axon ->Dendrites of Adjecent Neurons
-
Dendrites of Adjecent Neurons ->Cell Body -> Axon -> Dendrites
Correct Answer
A. Dendrites ->Cell Body ->Axon ->Dendrites of Adjecent NeuronsExplanation
The correct answer is the structure of a neuron is Dendrites -> Cell Body -> Axon -> Dendrites of Adjacent Neurons. This is the correct sequence of the parts of a neuron. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles. The axon carries the electrical signals away from the cell body. And finally, the dendrites of adjacent neurons receive the signals transmitted by the axon.Rate this question:

All or None Law-neurons are either on or off, there is no in between
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the All or None Law states that neurons either fire completely or do not fire at all. This means that there is no in-between state where the neuron partially fires. When a neuron receives enough stimulation to reach its threshold, it will fire an action potential, transmitting a signal to other neurons. However, if the stimulation is not sufficient to reach the threshold, the neuron will not fire at all. Therefore, the firing of neurons follows an all-or-none response.Rate this question:

What is the deffinition of Synapse
-
Are chemicals that carry messages across the synapse to a dendrite of a receiving neuron.
-
The space between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages
-
Regulates motor behavior, motivation, pleasure, and emotional arousal
-
Influences mood and arousal
Correct Answer
A. The space between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messagesExplanation
The correct answer is the space between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages. This definition accurately describes the synapse, which is the junction between two neurons where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron, allowing for the transmission of signals between neurons.Rate this question:

What are chemicals that carry messages across the synapse to a dendrite of a receiving neuron.
-
Synapse
-
Neurotransmitters
-
Glutamate
-
Endorphins
Correct Answer
A. NeurotransmittersExplanation
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry messages across the synapse to a dendrite of a receiving neuron. They play a crucial role in transmitting signals between nerve cells, allowing for communication within the nervous system. Neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron into the synapse and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, triggering a response. Examples of neurotransmitters include serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine.Rate this question:
