21. During the generation of an action potential in a nerve cell axon, the depolarization of the
membrane is caused by:T
+ a) opening of potassium channels in the axonal membraneT
+ b) opening of sodium channels in the axonal membraneT
+ c) closing of potassium channels in the axonal membraneT
+ d) closing of sodium channels in the axonal membrane. T
22. Myelinated axons:
+ 'a) have gaps in the myelin sheath, in which the membrane is exposed, called Nodes of -
Ranvier. T
+ b) propagate impulses more rapidly that unmyelinated axons due to saltatory conduction. T
+ c) occur in white matter of the CNST
+ d) can be destroyed by diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and amvlotrophic lateral
sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) T
+ e) All of the above (a, b, c and d) are correct. T
