Question
thumb_up100%
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.

- Imagine that you decide to make a move. To make this decision, neurons in your brain's cerebral cortex (neuron A) fire nerve impulses that are sent to neurons in the spinal cord (neuron B). Neuron B then sends a signal to the muscle cells, causing them to contract, resulting in movement.a. In which part of the brain is neuron A located? and Explain your answer!b. Explain how the signal from neuron A is transmitted to neuron B and which part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is involved in this pathway!arrow_forwardWhen nerve cells contact each other, they form adherens junctions (AJs) at the point of contact. The main transmembrane (TM) protein in the junctions is N-cadherin. N-cadherin is a single pass TM protein with a short intracellular domain and a large extracellular domain on the amino end. Proper formation of the AJs requires both actin (MF) and microtubules (MTs). Motor proteins for MTs are dynein (-) end and kinesin (+) end (and were discovered by Michael Sheetz). Maintenance of preformed AJs requires MFs . Adding drugs that disrupt MFs causes AJs to fall apart, and the N-cadherin is removed from the PM (by endocytosis). If the drugs are removed, MTs (& MFs) are required to restore the N-cadherin to the plasma membrane. choose answer for D1 and D2 D. Suppose cells contain a soluble kinase that modifies N-cadherin that has been removed from the PM. D-1. The kinase could catalyze modification(s) of the side chains of amino acids near (the N end) (the C end) (either end, but not…arrow_forwardMyelin sheaths function to electrically insulate neurons.

But this is the whole inforamtion I had copied from my home work, no letter missed.arrow_forwardCan you modify this experiment so that the mass lifted by the muscle contraction continues to increase for every trial? If yes, explain how it should be modified. If no, explain why.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about the conduction of action potentials? a. Thicker axons are faster because there is more surface area on thicker axons. b. Myelin speeds conduction because the glial cells add voltage gated Na+ channels to the neuron. c. Diffusion of Na+ ions between the Nodes of Ranvier happens faster than the wave of opening and closing membrane proteins can travel. d. Neurons that don’t have myelin sheaths undergo saltatory conduction e. Action potentials move slowly.arrow_forward
- 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.

Consider the scenario where a mouse was bitten by a snake that injected venom into their circulatory system. The venom has an inhibitory effect on the reuptake of acetylcholine from the synaptic cleft.

- 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?arrow_forwardRegardless of type, all neurons transfer signals between each other or to effectors (muscles or glands) at a synapse. The neuromuscular junction that we talked about with the muscular system is one example of a synapse. The diagram below shows the general features of a synapse Match each term or description with the appropriate letter in the diagram. You may use terms more than once. 1.

Dendrite of cell that receives the signal: 10. Space between cells that must be crossed by neurotransmitters: 11.
