## Educational Content: Neural and Immune Responses

### Multiple Choice Questions:
**54. A neuron can relay a more intense signal by:**
   - (a) sending a stronger action potential
   - (b) sending more action potentials in a given amount of time 
   - (c) sending an action potential that travels more quickly 
   - (d) sending out a longer action potential

Correct Answer: **(b) sending more action potentials in a given amount of time**

**55. The reasons that wasp spray acts so quickly include that it:**
   - (a) disrupts the action potential of motor neurons 
   - (b) stops the secretion of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft 
   - (c) inhibits the action of cholinesterase in the synaptic cleft 
   - (d) alters the unique action of insect cell muscles

### Matching: Pair off the term and its best definition/example.
- **56. B-cells**
   - (c) includes the brain and spinal cord

- **57. osmoregulation**
   - (e) birds and mammals are

- **58. Cholinesterase**
   - (a) skin, phagocytes invade bacteria.

### Explanations for Questions:
**52. What causes an action potential to be generated?**
   - (a) the sodium-potassium pump
   - (b) ion channels are opened and positive ions diffuse out of the cell
   - (c) ion channels are opened and negative ions diffuse out of the cell
   - (d) ion channels are opened and positive ions diffuse into the cell

**53. The movement of an action potential along a neuron is most like:**
   - (a) the ripples created by dropping a pebble into a pond 
   - (b) a solid tower emitting a signal that reaches only a very small region 
   - (c) a crowd at a sporting event that spreads out gradually 
   - (d) the sound of your voice spreading out as you yell loudly to your friend while at the park

Answer: **(a) the ripples created by dropping a pebble into a pond**

### Explaining Graphs and Diagrams:
This document does not contain any graphs or diagrams. The relevant content is provided as multiple-choice questions, matching terms with definitions, and factual explanations for how neural and immune systems operate.
