Postsynaptic membranes:
Select one:
a. are primarily found in axon end terminals
b. contain exclusively voltage-gated ion channels
c. contain ligand-gated (transmitter-gated) ion channels
d. are distributed evenly along the entire plasma membrane
Spots along a myelinated axon that are free of myelin and contain large clusters of voltage-gated ion channels are:
Select one:
a. synapses
b. there are not spots along an axon without myelin
c. axon terminal boutons
d. nodes of Ranvie
Propagation of the action potential along the axon:
Select one:
a. is the same process as the axon protein transport
b. takes place after the action potential is generated at the axon hillock
c. is faster if the axon lacks a myelin sheath
d. is a chemical process
A neuron that received an inhibitory signal:
Select one:
a. will have a mostly depolarized plasma membrane during that time
b. will release neurotransmitter rapidly
c. will send an inhibitory message to its postsynaptic target
d. will have a mostly hyperpolarized plasma membrane during that time
