Possible Concepts and Answers

Topic V

Topic V Control Systems

absolute refractory period

impulse

acetylcholine

inhibition - increase potassium permeability

afferent neuron

insulation

afferent neuron

interneuron

all or none

IPSP- inhibitory post synaptic potential

alter enzyme activity

membrane  - insulation

alter rate of membrane transport

mesodermic origin - steroid hormones

autonomic nerves

myelin sheath

calcium shock - low calcium concentration

negative feedback

calcium tetany = calcium shock

negative inside cell (-70 mV)

cholinesterase

neurohumor

concentration of substances in ECF

nodes of Ranvier

delay in propagation at the synapse - why?

one way propagation of impulses

depolarization

osmotic pressure of the blood

ECF - extracellular fluid

paracrines and parahormones

ectodermic origin - amine hormones

potassium permeability

efferent neuron

receptors or action of other neurons

electrical stimulation

reflex arc - fast response

endocrine gland

relative refractory period

endodermic origin - protein hormones

repolarization

epinephrine (adrenaline)

resting potential

excitation - increase sodium permeability

saltatory conduction

excitation of less sensitive sensory cells

sodium permeability

EPSP - excitatory post synaptic potential

sodium/potassium pump

frequency of impulses

somatic nerves

generator potential

spontaneous stimulation

greater area affected

supportive cells (glial, Schwann, etc.)

growth, differentiation, reproduction, metabolism

synapse

hormonal or other chemical stimulation

target cells/tissues/organs

hyperpolarization

threshold
