A distinction between motor neurons and sensory neurons is that
- Motor neurons send messages to the sensory receptor cells, whereas sensory neurons send messages from the sensory receptor cells.
- Motor neurons send messages to muscles and glands in the peripheral nervous system, whereas sensory neurons send messages from the somatosensory cortex.
- Motor neurons carry information away from the central nervous system, whereas sensory neurons carry information to the central nervous system.
- Motor neurons connect to interneurons, whereas sensory neurons do not.
Correct Answer

A. Motor neurons carry information away from the central nervous system, whereas sensory neurons carry information to the central nervous system.

Explanation

Motor neurons and sensory neurons have different roles in the nervous system. Motor neurons carry information away from the central nervous system, transmitting signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands in the peripheral nervous system. On the other hand, sensory neurons carry information to the central nervous system, transmitting signals from sensory receptor cells (such as those in the skin, eyes, ears, etc.) to the brain and spinal cord for processing and interpretation. This distinction highlights the direction of information flow in these two types of neurons.

Burns that affect all layers of the skin and may not be painful due to the damage to nerve endings are classified as
- First degree, partial thickness
- Second degree, partial thickness
- Third degree, full thickness
- First degree, full thickness
Correct Answer

A. Third degree, full thickness

Explanation

Third degree burns, also known as full thickness burns, affect all layers of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. These burns are characterized by the destruction of the skin and underlying tissues, resulting in a dry, leathery appearance. Nerve endings may be damaged, leading to a lack of pain sensation in the affected area. First and second degree burns do not penetrate as deeply and are typically associated with pain and blistering.

Formed by Schwann cells in the PNS?
- Nodes of Ranvier
- Unmyelinated Axons
- Dendrites
- Myelin Sheath
Correct Answer

A. Myelin Sheath

Explanation

The myelin sheath is formed by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It is a protective covering that surrounds and insulates the axons of neurons, allowing for faster and more efficient transmission of electrical signals. The myelin sheath is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system, as it helps to prevent signal loss and interference. The nodes of Ranvier, on the other hand, are small gaps in the myelin sheath where the axon is exposed. Unmyelinated axons do not have a myelin sheath at all. Dendrites, on the other hand, are the branch-like extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons.

Homeostasis can be defined as the existence and maintenance of a relatively constant enviroment within the body.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment. It involves various physiological processes that work together to regulate body temperature, pH levels, blood sugar levels, and other vital parameters within a narrow range. This ensures that cells and organs can function optimally. Therefore, the statement "Homeostasis can be defined as the existence and maintenance of a relatively constant environment within the body" is true.

Information in neurons usually flows in what order?
- Soma, dendrites, axon
- Dendrites, soma, axon
- Dendrites, myelin, axon terminals
- Axon, soma, axon terminals
Correct Answer

A. Dendrites, soma, axon

Explanation

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information in the form of electrical signals. The information typically flows in a specific order within a neuron. Dendrites are the branch-like structures that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the soma, which is the cell body of the neuron. The soma integrates these signals and generates an electrical impulse. This impulse then travels down the axon, a long fiber-like structure, which transmits the signal away from the soma. Therefore, the correct order of information flow in neurons is dendrites, soma, and then axon.
