37) Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the body attacks its own nervous system and specifically affects the myelin. Its many symptoms include a person having a reduced sense of touch. Explain how the disease effects the conduction of information and what class of neurons appears to be affected to cause this symptom.
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system. What type of cell would be the most likely target of this disease? Why? Which type of neuron, based on its shape, is best suited for relaying information directly from one neuron to another? Explain why. Sensory fibers, or pathways, are referred to as “afferent.” Motor fibers, or pathways, are referred to as “efferent.” What can you infer about the meaning of these two terms (afferent and efferent) in a structural or anatomical context?Because the long axons of neurons look like electrical wires, and both neurons and electrical wires conduct electricity, it is tempting to equate the two. Compare and contrast the functioning of axons and electrical wires in terms of their structure and the nature of the electrical signals they conduct. Please include references.multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease in which the patient's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that form the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. what types of symptoms would you expect from such a disease? why? would Schwann cells or oligodendrocytes be affected? explain
- Demyelination is the loss of myelin from neurones that are normally myelinated. Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which demyelination occurs in neurones involved in coordinating muscle movement. Using your knowledge of nerve impulse generation and propagation, explain how nerve impulse generation and propagation would be affected in people who have multiple sclerosis. The explanation needs to be in the form of a step by step sequence of annotated drawings. This could be in the form of an annotated cartoon/picture strip. Compare this to nerve impulse generation and propagation in an individual who does not have multiple sclerosis.Cystic fibrosis is a degenerative disease that causes the progressive breakdown of the myelin sheaths around the axons of neurons. Which of the following best describes the likely effect of cystic fibrosis on neuronal function? A B C D an inhibition in the release of neurotransmitters at the synaptic terminal a decrease in the conduction speed of the action potential along neuronal axons an unstoppable generation of action potential in affected neurons an inhibition in the generation of action potentials at neuronal dendritesSchwann cells are a type of glial cell found in the nervous system. In addition to the conduction of nerve impulses, the outermost layer called neurilemma aids in nerve development and regeneration. Which of the following explains why the neurons in the brain cannot repair damage like the neurons in your hands or feet can?
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition in which neurons in the CNS become demyelinated. Why do you think a NCV (nerve conduction velocity) test is not useful in diagnosing MS?Depression is a condition in which sufferers may feel low mood, lack of motivation and sleep. It is caused by a lack of serotonin in the synaptic cleft of neurone pathways. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter. a) Describe how serotonin acts as a neurotransmitter. Using your understanding of synaptic transmission, explain how communication between neurones in serotonin pathways of the brain would be affected in someone with depression. b) Doctors use tubocurarine drug as an anaesthetic as it temporarily paralyses muscles. It blocks receptors at neuromuscular junctions. Why does this lead to paralysis?The Nervous System Label a diagram of a neuron (individual nerve cell), noting the function of each of the following areas: a. dendrites b. cell body с. ахоп d. synaptic terminal Describe the location and function of myelin. Explain how neurons produce and transmit information, noting: Na*, K*, resting potential, and action potential. Explain the role of the following in transmitting an action potential across the synapse: .synaptic terminal of presynaptic neuron b. synaptic cleft c. neurotransmitter d. postsynaptic neuron receptor The Endocrine System Define hormone, noting the three different types of hormones.

- 14) Review the process by which an action potential is conducted across a synapse. Suppose that in the future you become a researcher that is trying to cure a new neurological disorder. This disorder causes some post-synaptic neurons to fire action potentials to intrequently in response to the excitatory neurotransmitter dopamine. You want to design a medication that will target the cellular mechanisms that are causing this to happen at the synapse. List (no explanation required) four different things that vour medication could do at the synapse to increase the rate of firing of action potentials, *(Note that each different thing you list should produce an effect by targeting a different part of the process by which conduction of an action potential across a synapse is regulated).The term central nervous system refers to theWith the help of figure 12.6 on page 395 and the definitions below, label the following diagram of a typical neuron. axon - the long extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from myelin sheath - the fatty substance that surrounds and the body of the cell. axon terminals - the hair-like ends of node of Ranvier - one of the many gaps in the myelin the axon cell body - the cell body of the neuron; it contains the nucleus and other cell organelles dendrites - the branching structure of Schwann's cells - cells that produce myelin - they are a neuron that receives messages |(attached to the cell body) 1. protects some nerve fibers sheath – impulses jump from node to node resulting in faster transmission nucleus - the organelle in the cell body of the neuron that contains the genetic material of the cell located within the myelin sheath. ©EnchantedLearning.com Place an arrow along the diagram to indicate the direction that impulses travel long the neuron. 2.
