Compare and contrast the abilities of the central and peripheral nervous systems to repair and regenerate upon injury. Describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in neuronal repair in the central and peripheral nervous systems and discuss the differences in ability to repair. Use figures and diagrams to illustrate your answer (This is a neuroscience question)

Briefly describe what happens to the myelin sheath and how it disrupts nerve function in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.

Make a list of the different types of neurotransmitters used by the nervous system.  Include a description of each, including it’s chemical and functional classification.  Describe in general how each neurotransmitter is used by the body

Identify the multiple mechanisms by which a drug can be pro-ergic or anti-ergic at a synapse.

READ: They key to large-scale communication in the entire nervous system is the ability to pass nerve impulses on a small scale from one neuron to the next so that signals can be transmitted throughout the entire body. The junction between two neurons is called a synapse, and is the critical space that mediates the transfer of a signal from the presynaptic neuron (the sender) to the postsynaptic neuron (the receiver) or even an effector cell (like a gland or muscle cell.) You circled a synapse in Model 1. Synapses can be electrical or chemical. Electrical synapses transmit electrical signals via gap junctions. A channel protein connects the cytoplasm of two adjacent neurons so that ions can flow directly from one cell to another to pass on the signal. However, the most common type of synapse is a chemical synapse. These utilize chemical signals, called neurotransmitters, to transmit the signal across the synaptic cleft. This is a slower process, but allows for much greater precision…

Choose all of the processes below that are related to the nervous system communications: (multiple select question) A. Chemicals transported in blood B. Quick initiation and conclusion of regulatory effect in the body C. Slow initiation, but long-term regulatory effect in the body D. Chemicals released at synapses. E. Directly regulates the metabolism of tissues and cells

Antiseizure drugs stop seizures from happening by inhibiting electrical impulses. What is the importance of sodium and calcium channels on a neuron and reasons why actions potentials do not occur when these channels are inhibited.

Select all criterion for classifying a substance as a neurotransmitter. (select all that apply) Existence of the substance in the presynaptic terminal. Release of the substance when nerve impulses reach the terminal ending. Existence of specific receptors for the substance on the postsynaptic membrane. Ability of the substance to travel long distances between the site of origin and the target area.

Compare and contrast the structure and function of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems, including sites of motor neuron synapses in the CNS, motor neuron differences, efferent pathways, control, function, neurotransmitters and their effects on target organs, target organs, and the effects of denervation.

Discuss the early and late associative effects in the cellular processes of neurons that occur as a consequence of classical conditioning.
