Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A modified dendrite of a sensory neuron is called a receptor.

Answer: B
 Sensory neurons are responsible for receiving input from the environment via receptors.

Answer: F
 Active transporters are not receptors. They use energy to move molecules across cell membranes.

Answer: D
 Acetylcholine and GABA are neurotransmitters that act at synapses, not receptors.

Answer: E
 Motor neurons are responsible for controlling muscle movement.

Answer: A
 Cells that nurture and support neurons are called glial cells.

Answer: G
 Sheathed muscle cells that contain receptors are not a known biological structure.

Answer: H
 Membrane potential is the difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of a cell membrane.

Answer: I
 Resting membrane potential is the membrane potential of a neuron when it is not generating an electrical impulse.

Answer: C
 Interneurons are responsible for communicating between sensory and motor neurons.

Answer: K
 Action potential is the electrical impulse that travels down a neuron.

Answer: L
 Positive feedback is a mechanism that occurs when a change in a system leads to an increase in that change.

Answer: M
 Threshold potential is the membrane potential at which an action potential is triggered.

Answer: N
 Schwann cells are responsible for producing myelin, a substance that insulates neurons in the peripheral nervous system.

Answer: O
 A cluster of cell bodies outside the central nervous system is called a ganglion.
