_____ produce myelin in the PNS.
Explanation
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells are the two types of cells that produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing myelin in the central nervous system (CNS), while Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. Myelin is a fatty substance that wraps around nerve fibers, acting as an insulator and increasing the speed of electrical signals. Salutatory conduction refers to the rapid jumping of the electrical signal from one node of Ranvier to another, facilitated by the presence of myelin. Therefore, all three options - oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, and salutatory conduction - are related to the production and function of myelin in the PNS.Rate this question:

-
When impulses jump from node to node
-
When impulses jump from node to transmitter
-
No jumping occurs
-
When the potassium is transported through gradient
-
When myelinated axons conduct impulses slower
Correct Answer
A. When impulses jump from node to nodeExplanation
Salutatory conduction refers to the process in which nerve impulses jump from one node of Ranvier to another along a myelinated axon. This allows for faster transmission of the impulse compared to unmyelinated axons, where the impulse travels continuously. The nodes of Ranvier are small gaps in the myelin sheath that allow for the efficient propagation of the electrical signal. By skipping these gaps, the impulse can quickly travel along the axon, resulting in rapid and efficient conduction of nerve signals.Rate this question:

What provides homeostasis for the organisms?
-
Positive feedback
-
Internal factors
-
Negative feedback
-
Nervous tissues
Correct Answer
A. Negative feedbackExplanation
Negative feedback provides homeostasis for organisms by counteracting any changes or imbalances in the internal environment. When a deviation from the set point occurs, negative feedback mechanisms work to bring the system back to its normal state. This is achieved by detecting the change and initiating responses that oppose or reverse the deviation. For example, if body temperature rises above the set point, negative feedback mechanisms will trigger responses such as sweating and vasodilation to cool the body down and restore the normal temperature.Rate this question:

A protostome has what kind of cleavage?
-
Radial
-
Spiral
-
Radical
Correct Answer
A. SpiralExplanation
A protostome has spiral cleavage. This type of cleavage is characterized by the spiral arrangement of the cells during early embryonic development. The cells divide at oblique angles to each other, resulting in a spiral pattern. This pattern is important for the subsequent formation of the body plan in protostomes, as it determines the positioning of the cells and their fate in the developing embryo.Rate this question:

Negative feedback mechanisms often oppose each other to produce a finer degree of control?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Negative feedback mechanisms often oppose each other to produce a finer degree of control because they work in a way that counteracts any deviation from the desired set point. When one negative feedback mechanism is activated to restore the set point, another mechanism may be simultaneously activated to fine-tune the control and ensure that the set point is maintained within a narrow range. This opposing action between multiple negative feedback mechanisms allows for a more precise and accurate regulation of physiological processes.Rate this question:

The rapid inward diffusion of sodium followed by the outward diffusion of potassium produces a rapid change in the membrane potential called an?
-
Graded potential
-
Action potential
Correct Answer
A. Action potentialExplanation
The rapid inward diffusion of sodium followed by the outward diffusion of potassium refers to the process of depolarization and repolarization of a neuron's membrane. This sequence of events leads to a rapid change in the membrane potential, which is known as an action potential. Action potentials are the electrical signals that allow neurons to communicate with each other and transmit information throughout the nervous system. Graded potentials, on the other hand, are smaller changes in membrane potential that can either be depolarizing or hyperpolarizing, but they do not have the same all-or-nothing characteristic as action potentials.Rate this question:

Deuterosomes show patterns of what type of cleavage
-
Radial
-
Spiral
-
Helix
Correct Answer
A. RadialExplanation
Deuterostomes show patterns of radial cleavage. Radial cleavage is a type of embryonic development where the cells divide in a pattern that is perpendicular or at right angles to the polar axis of the embryo. This results in cells being stacked directly on top of each other. This type of cleavage is characteristic of deuterostomes, which include animals such as echinoderms (like starfish) and chordates (like humans). In contrast, spiral cleavage is seen in protostomes, where the cell divisions are diagonal to the polar axis, and helical cleavage is a rare type of cleavage that is not commonly observed in animal development.Rate this question:

The membrane of a resting neuron is much more permeable to what ion?
-
Potassium
-
Sodium
-
Floride
-
Iodine
Correct Answer
A. PotassiumExplanation
The resting membrane potential of a neuron is primarily determined by the permeability of the membrane to different ions. In a resting neuron, the membrane is more permeable to potassium ions compared to other ions such as sodium, fluoride, or iodine. This is because the neuron has a higher number of potassium channels that are open, allowing potassium ions to move more freely across the membrane. As a result, potassium ions play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining the resting membrane potential of a neuron.Rate this question:
