: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 75) Assume the following: The total area of cell membrane in a single fat cell is 104 mm2, there is one insulin receptor per 1 mm2 of membrane, and 1 mm2 of cell membrane contains 106 phospholipid molecules. (1) How many insulin receptors are in a fat cell? (2) How many phospholipids molecules are in a fat cell? (3) How many phospholipid molecules are there for each insulin receptor? (4) What general principle of hormone action does your answer support?

: 1. 1 receptor/1 mm2 × 104 mm2/cell = 104 receptors per cell. 2. 104 mm2/cell × 106 phospholipids/mm2 = 1010 phospholipid molecules per cell. 3. (1010 phospholipids/cell) / (104 receptors/cell) = 106 phospholipid molecules per insulin receptor. 4. Hormones exert their effects at very low concentrations (therefore it is not surprising that the hormone receptors, through which the hormones act, are also in low concentration). Section Title: Hormones Learning Outcome: N/A

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge) 58) Describe the classic steps for identifying an endocrine gland. Are these steps practical for identifying the sources of all the hormones we know of today? Explain.

: 1. Remove the suspected gland, and observe the animal. 2. Restore the gland or administer a gland extract, and observe the animal. 3. Add a gland or gland extract to a normal animal, and observe the animal for excessive response. 4. Purify gland extracts and isolate the substance. There are many hormones that are secreted from cells that are not part of a discrete gland and therefore not removable without causing problems beyond loss of the hormone. Section Title: Hormone Learning Outcome: 7.2

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 69) The following statement contains three parts that are either TRUE or FALSE. You must address ALL THREE parts of the statement explaining either why it is TRUE or why it is FALSE. Neurohormones from the anterior pituitary are called "trophic" because their release is stimulated by a releasing hormone from the hypothalamus.

: 1. The anterior pituitary is an endocrine gland; it does not release neurohormones because its cells are not neurons. 2. The word trophic is used incorrectly; the term refers to a hormone that causes another gland to release hormone. 3. Anterior pituitary hormones are in fact triggered by releasing hormones from the hypothalamus. Section Title: Control of Hormone Release Learning Outcome: 7.4

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 227) Draw graphs showing the effect on action potentials in a cell following effective doses of each of the listed neurotoxins. Assume that the cell is normally brought to threshold by an electrical stimulus applied to it, so that any abnormality is due to the toxin. Precise values for voltage and duration are not important, just a general trend in how the action potential may be different from normal. 1. puffer fish poison (blocks voltage-gated sodium channel activation) 2. tetraethylammonium (blocks voltage-gated potassium channels) 3. ouabain (blocks sodium-potassium pumps) 4. sea anemone toxin (blocks voltage-gated sodium channel inactivation)

: 1. no action potential; membrane potential would show a stimulus pulse that reaches threshold, however 2. prolonged action potential, as repolarization is slowed in absence of potassium efflux; peak may be higher as well 3. normal action potential 4. prolonged action potential, as sodium influx lasts longer; peak may be higher as well Section Title: Cell-to-Cell Communication in the Nervous System Learning Outcome: 8.4

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 189) Name two ways a cell changes its membrane permeability to ions. (Hint: One way is relatively slow.)

: 1. opens or closes existing channels 2. inserts or removes membrane channels Section Title: Electrical Signals in Neurons Learning Outcome: 8.2

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge) 130) Name the two factors that influence the membrane potential.

: 1. the concentration gradients of ions across the membrane 2. the membrane permeability to those ions Section Title: Electrical Signals in Neurons Learning Outcome: 8.2

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 102) You are walking to class, pondering the intricacies of physiology, when you trip over an uneven place in the sidewalk, and fall. Unhurt but embarrassed and angry, you jump up and glance around to see if anyone is watching. From your knowledge of neuroanatomy and function, explain how the following areas of the brain might be involved in this scenario: A. cerebrum B. cerebellum C. limbic system

: A. The cerebrum is involved in conscious perception and voluntary motor control. Various sensory areas of the cortex will detect the mis-step, falling, and landing on the ground. Motor areas will initiate standing up and brushing yourself off. B. The cerebellum receives a copy of the motor output from the cerebrum that controls spinal motor neurons, and also sensory input. The cerebellum compares the sensory and motor information to coordinate the execution of movement. Obviously the cerebellum was unable to prevent you from falling; however, your return to an upright position may be executed smoothly thanks to this brain area. C. The limbic system is involved in emotion. This is where your fear, anger, or embarrassment at falling will arise. Section Title: Brain Function Learning Outcome: 9.7

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Evaluation) 78) Your studies of the neuromuscular junction reveal that the excitatory neurotransmitter opens a channel permeable to all three cations. Calculate the equilibrium potential for each cation. In which direction will each cation move when the channel is open? Does movement of ions promote muscle depolarization? Explain your answer.

: ENa+ = 61 × log 450/50 = 58 mV. EK+ = 61 × log 20/420 = -81 mV. EMg++ = 61 × log 60/10 = 47 mV. Sodium and magnesium will enter the cell, potassium will exit. Exit of potassium opposes depolarization, but presumably there will be a net gain in intracellular positive charge sufficient to depolarize the cell. Section Title: The Somatic Division Learning Outcome: 11.4

: Level I: Reviewing Facts and Terms (Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge) 67) There are three divisions of the brain. Make a table and place each of the six regions of the brain in one of the three divisions.

: Forebrain Midbrain Hindbrain Cerebrum Midbrain Cerebellum Diencephalon Pons Medulla Oblongata Section Title: Anatomy of the Nervous System Learning Outcome: 9.7

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 92) Trace the language pathway of signals from the eye (written words) or the ear (spoken words) to the motor cortex. Discuss the two regions of the cortex involved in this pathway. Describe their location and the communication problems that can occur if there is damage to either area.

: eye → visual cortex → Wernicke's area → Broca's area → motor cortex ear → auditory cortex → Wernicke's area → Broca's area → motor cortex Wernicke's area is located in the temporal lobe. If damage occurs here, the person cannot understand sensory input (spoken or visual). The resulting condition is receptive aphasia, nonsensical speech that the speaker is unaware of. Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe. If damage occurs here, the person is unable to respond using normal syntax. The resulting condition, expressive aphasia, is difficult to deal with because people who have it understand sensory input and can respond, but their statements contain the right words in random order and they are unable to correct it. Section Title: Brain Function Learning Outcome: 9.18

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 217) Create diagrams (of the cells) and graphs (of the potentials) to illustrate the two different situations described below in a multipolar neuron with a threshold voltage of 15 mV above resting potential. In each, indicate decrement of graded potentials (by drawing the same GP at different points as it spreads along the neuron), as well as summation. Situation 1: There are three simultaneously active synapses on the multipolar neuron, two producing EPSPs and one an IPSP. At least one of the EPSPs is larger than 15 mV at the synapse. The neuron does NOT generate an action potential. Situation 2: There are two simultaneously active synapses, one producing an EPSP and the other an IPSP. The neuron generates an action potential.

: (Note to instructor: It is best to have demonstrated this in class or on a handout at some time prior to the exam.) Diagrams and graphs should resemble those in Figure 8.7 in the chapter, except that the number of synaptic inputs shown will be greater (see Fig. 8.24), and a set of graphs should be drawn for each input. Diagrams of a multipolar neuron with the different synapses indicated should be produced. There should be a total of three to five synapses, depending on whether or not the student assumes the three synapses described for situation 1 are different from those for situation 2. The graph of summation should resemble Figure 8.24c,d. In situation 1, the student should choose amplitudes that sum to a value below +15 mV (the PSP that was 15 mV at the synapse is smaller when it reaches the trigger zone). In situation 2, the student should choose amplitudes that sum to a value equal to or above +15 mV. Section Title: Integration of Neuronal Information Transfer Learning Outcome: 8.9

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge) 213) Compare and contrast the communication mechanisms between the nervous and endocrine systems. In other words, how do neurons and neurotransmitters signal to their postsynaptic cells, compared to the way endocrine glands and hormones communicate with their target cells?

: (Note to instructor: Students must have already completed the endocrine chapter(s) in order to answer this.) Neurotransmitters usually do not enter the cell, thus must combine with receptors on the membrane, using mechanisms similar to the amino acid-derivative hormones. Similarities include opening channels in the postsynaptic cell membrane, leading to depolarization of the neuron. In endocrine target cells, the arrival of the stimulus begins a different sequence of events, such as triggering an enzyme cascade, and second messenger systems.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 100) The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from harmful substances in the blood, but it also protects the brain from potentially therapeutic chemicals that may reduce the size of brain tumors by killing cancer cells, alleviate depression, and aid in patient recovery from stroke or spinal cord injury. Two methods are currently being rigorously researched to get these helpful chemicals past the blood-brain barrier. The two methods are termed "molecular Trojan Horse" and osmotic "blood-brain barrier disruption." Based on their names, hypothesize how these methods might allow chemicals to pass through the blood-brain barrier.

: (Note to instructor: You may have to explain enough of the legend of the Trojan Horse for this to be a fair question.) The molecular Trojan Horse method delivers specific substances to the brain by attaching them to a protein that is normally able to cross the barrier. The therapeutic chemicals are ferried across by piggybacking a substance that can cross the barrier. Once across the barrier, these substances can reach almost every neuron through the blood vessels that nourish the brain. The blood-brain barrier disruption method is a technique that uses a concentrated mannitol (sugar) solution. Because this solution is more concentrated than the endothelial cells of the capillaries that make up the blood-brain barrier, these cells will experience shrinkage (Chapter 5, hypertonicity). When these cells decrease in volume the tight junctions that exist between them are temporarily opened and chemicals in that area can pass through the blood-brain barrier. In actual patients who experimentally undergo this therapy, an infusion of this solution, via a catheter, temporarily opens the tight junction by osmotically disrupting the endothelial cells that make up the blood-brain barrier. Immediately after the mannitol solution, the patients receive the chemotherapy treatment intra-arterially through the same catheter.

One afternoon he is sleeping and you see a fly walk across his upper lip. He wakes up and tells you he just had the funniest feeling. It was as if someone was touching his missing index finger. You decide to experiment with your uncle and you blindfold him. As you touch his cheek he tells you that you are touching his cheek and his missing thumb! As you move around his face you map out his fingers and forearm on his face. Hypothesize how this could be possible.

: A map of the somatosensory cortex would show that the area corresponding to the phantom hand and forearm is adjacent to the area corresponding to the face. What has happened is the hand cortex has been invaded by the sensory fibers that normally only activate the face area of the cortex. Since the territory for the hand is vacated (not receiving any stimulation), those facial sensory fibers have begun to activate cells there causing the phantom limb sensation.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 206) A compound action potential is recorded using electrodes on a nerve. How does a nerve differ from an axon? Amplitude and duration of a compound action potential vary according to the stimulus intensity applied to the nerve. Given that there is no such variation in the action potential of a single axon, how can you explain this?

: A nerve consists of many axons. A regular action potential is produced by a single axon, whereas a compound action potential is recorded by equipment from a nerve when multiple axons are producing action potentials, and the voltages add together. Increasing stimulus intensity increases the number of axons contributing to the compound action potential. This is because different axons have different threshold voltages, so increasing the voltage stimulates a larger number of axons. Section Title: Electrical Signals in Neurons Learning Outcome: 8.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 207) Explain the processes that lead to the exocytosis of neurotransmitter from a presynaptic cell. Which components are recycled? Which ion is important in triggering exocytosis?

: Action potential arrives in synaptic terminal, and stimulates opening of voltage-regulated calcium channels. The resulting calcium influx triggers exocytosis of synaptic vesicle contents. The phospholipids of the vesicle membranes are recycled, either from fusion of vesicles then later formation of new vesicles from the same molecules; or from the kiss-and-run model, in which the vesicle phospholipids are not incorporated into the membrane at all, but remain as vesicles that can be refilled with neurotransmitter.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 182) Compare and contrast action and graded potentials. Your answer should include a definition of each, types, characteristics, ionic basis, functions, and anything else necessary to answer the question.

: Action potentials are stereotyped changes in axon membrane potential that function in long-distance communication between neurons and their target cells. Graded potentials are variable membrane potential changes, usually in dendrites of multipolar neurons, that function in either short-distance communication or changing the probability of an action potential. Action potentials result from opening of voltage-regulated ion channels, which occurs at or above a threshold voltage. Graded potentials are not regenerative and result from the opening of ion channels in response to neurotransmitter or a specific stimulus such as sound or odor, in the case of sensory receptors. The rising phase results from influx of sodium, and the falling phase from efflux of potassium. Other characteristics include the after-hyperpolarization, all-or-none nature, conduction without decrement, independence of amplitude and duration from stimulus strength, refractory period, faster velocity in larger diameter or in myelinated axons. Graded potentials can be depolarizing, if the ion channel is a sodium channel, or hyperpolarizing in the case of potassium or chloride channels. Depolarizations increase the probability that threshold voltage will be attained and an action potential will result. Hyperpolarizations decrease the probability of a resulting action potential. Amplitude and duration are proportional to stimulus intensity, and graded potentials are conducted with decrement. Section Title: Electrical Signals in Neurons Learning Outcome: 8.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 203) In a laboratory situation, a nerve can be stimulated by applying voltage from a stimulator. If a stimulus was applied in the middle of a nerve roughly halfway between the cell bodies and the axon terminals, would resulting action potentials travel only from the stimulus point to the axon terminal? Why or why not? How is this similar to or different from the basic characteristics of an action potential discussed in this chapter? What does this tell you about the nature of the axon?

: Action potentials would travel in both directions from the stimulus point, simultaneously toward the cell bodies and toward the axon terminals. This is because the axon segments on each side of the stimulus point are presumably not refractory when the stimulus is delivered, thus there is nothing to prevent the action potentials from traveling in both directions. In normal transmission, the action potential begins where the axon starts, and travels only away from that point, not toward, because the membrane becomes refractory for a period of time after the action potential occurs. Thus, the axon is quite capable of transmitting action potentials in either direction, even though normally it is prevented from doing so.

For those that bind more than one neurotransmitter, how does the response to the neurotransmitters compare?

: Alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2, and beta 3 receptors are described in Table 11.2 in the chapter. Most of these receptors are more sensitive to norepinephrine than to epinephrine, but they will all respond to either neurotransmitter. These neurotransmitters are nearly identical structurally, and the response of the target tissue to the binding of either is the same. Section Title: The Autonomic Division Learning Outcome: 11.3

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Knowledge) 190) If both Na+ and K+ channels are activated by depolarization, why do we see more Na+ flux during the rising phase of an action potential?

: Although both channels are activated by depolarization, the Na+ channels open quickly allowing rapid Na+ entry into the cell. The peak of Na+ permeability coincides with the peak of the action potential, while the K+ channels open more slowly and don't reach their peak ion permeability until the falling phase of the action potential.

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 148) Distinguish between adequate stimulus, threshold stimulus, and perceptual threshold.

: An adequate stimulus is the form of energy to which a receptor is most responsive. A threshold stimulus is the minimum depolarization required to trigger an action potential in a sensory neuron. Perceptual threshold is the minimum stimulus required for a person to be aware that peripheral receptors were stimulated, which can be greater than the threshold stimulus for the sensory neuron.

Be sure to discuss the central, peripheral, and enteric nervous system and the divisions and branches discussed in the text.

: Answers will vary.There are three divisions: the central nervous system (CNS), the peripheral nervous system (PNS), and the enteric nervous system. The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord and acts as the integrating center for neural reflexes. The brain is also where thoughts and consciousness are formed. The PNS includes the afferent branch, which monitors the internal and external environment and sends signals to the CNS, and the efferent branch, which carries signals from the CNS to effector cells throughout the body. Within the efferent branch, there is the somatic motor division, which controls skeletal muscle, and the autonomic division. The autonomic division, or visceral nervous system, controls the smooth and cardiac muscles and exo- and endocrine glands. It is further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 198) Explain the two reasons why graded potentials lose strength as they move through the cell. Why don't action potentials lose strength?

: As a depolarization wave moves through the cell, some of the positive charge is lost to the extracellular fluid through leak channels. Additionally there is cytoplasmic resistance. Action potentials do not lose strength because they are regenerated in each patch of membrane. Section Title: Electrical Signals in Neurons Learning Outcome: 8.3

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 170) Describe the action of aspirin and opiates in pain relief. What does your answer suggest about opiates?

: Aspirin inhibits prostaglandins (anti-inflammatory) and slows the transmission of pain signals from the site of injury to the brain. Opiates like morphine act on a special class of receptor molecules in the CNS called opioid receptors. Opiates decrease the secretion of neurotransmitter from the primary sensory neurons and post-synaptic inhibition of secondary sensory neurons. The discovery of the mode of action of opiates, that is, the discovery of specific receptors for opiate drugs, led scientists to search for and discover naturally occurring opiates in the CNS-enkephalins and endorphins.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 196) If potassium channels in a neuron were blocked, would it be possible to produce an action potential? If so, describe the probable appearance of these components of a graph: threshold, rising phase, peak, falling phase, undershoot. If not, explain.

: Assuming sodium channels are functioning normally, there would still be an action potential. Threshold would be unaffected, because it is a property of sodium channels. A peak voltage will be reached when the sodium channels become inactivated; this voltage may be higher than normal since usually there is a partial canceling of the rising voltage as potassium exits. Without a potassium current, the falling phase would be much slower, being dependent on the sodium-potassium pump removing the sodium ions that came in. The undershoot would be absent because it is a result of potassium current. Section Title: Electrical Signals in Neurons Learning Outcome: 8.4

: Assuming the specificity of the voltage-regulated sodium and potassium channels is absolute, the axons will be unable to generate action potentials. The sodium channels will open and close, but there will be no ionic current through them. The students will still see hyperpolarization, as the potassium efflux should be unaffected by lithium.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 69) Anne Frank wrote a diary about the years she and a few others spent in hiding from the Nazis during World War II. These people lived in the upstairs rooms of a shop, accessible only by a hidden stairway; Anne called these quarters the Secret Annex. One day Nazis raided the shop below, but were unsuccessful in locating the hideaways or finding proof of their presence during this particular raid. Clearly hearing what was occurring downstairs, Anne and her cohorts cowered in silence, for they feared being transported to "death camps." Later, Anne wrote that most of the residents of the Secret Annex experienced diarrhea shortly after this close call. Explain this response by their digestive systems.

: Assuming there is no pathogenic or dietary cause, diarrhea probably resulted from the fight-or-flight reaction of the sympathetic nervous system. Digestive tract secretion and motility are inhibited during a sympathetic response. When the threat had passed and the sympathetic nervous system released the digestive targets from inhibition, there may have been a rebound effect in which the parasympathetic division overstimulated the motility of the tract. Increased motility with decreased time for reabsorption of water can result in diarrhea. It is also thought that the sympathetic response actually stimulates the lower gastrointestinal tract though it inhibits the upper tract. This could also account for the effects. Students may need to consult other sources to answer this question correctly. Section Title: The Autonomic Division Learning Outcome: 11.1

: Level IV: Quantitative Problems (Bloom's Taxonomy: Application) 229) Explain the roles that the AMPA and NMDA receptors play in long-term potentiation.

: Both AMPA and NMDA receptors are located on the postsynaptic cells (dendrites) and require binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate for activation. When glutamate binds to the AMPA receptor, the channel opens and Na enters the cell. This causes depolarization of the immediate postsynaptic cell or dendrite. This depolarization causes Mg2+ ions to be "kicked out" of the NMDA receptor channel; hence, Mg2+ is no longer acting as a channel blocker. If at the same time glutamate is bound to the NMDA receptor then the channel gate is open and Ca2+ enters the cell. The entry of Ca2+ triggers 2nd messenger pathways that results in an increase in the number of glutamate receptors inserted into the post-synaptic membrane. This increases the probability of an increase in the postsynaptic response or depolarization to glutamate that is referred to as long-term potentiation.

Which receptor is involved? List some locations for this receptor. Would either toxin be appropriate to use as a paralytic during surgery? Explain your answer. Are all such receptors necessarily affected by a given toxin in the same way? Explain the significance of your answer.

: Both of these toxins bind to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. This type of receptor is located on skeletal muscle and in autonomic ganglia. For a paralytic during surgery, curare would be appropriate but bungarotoxin would not, because the irreversibility of bungarotoxin binding results in permanent paralysis of skeletal muscles. Bungarotoxin binds to the receptors in skeletal muscle but not to those in autonomic ganglia, illustrating a structural difference in the receptors in these two sites.

Postganglionic sympathetic neurons secrete norepinephrine onto adrenergic receptors. Postganglionic parasympathetic neurons secrete acetylcholine onto muscarinic receptors.

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analysis) 167) Explain brain plasticity, and give an advantage and a disadvantage of this process.

: Brain plasticity is the reorganization of synapses according to how much different parts of the brain are used. An advantage is that people who lose a sensation, such as vision, may develop greater sensation in another area, such as the fingertips of a blind person who uses Braille to read. A disadvantage is that the process is imperfect, and sensations may persist from a body part that is no longer there, such as phantom pain from an amputated limb. Section Title: Somatic Senses Learning Outcome: 10.6

: Level III: Problem Solving (Bloom's Taxonomy: Synthesis) 74) In a laboratory experiment, adding curare, which binds to acetylcholine receptors, to the solution around a muscle decreases the size of the end-plate potential. Adding prostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase blocker, increases the size of the end-plate potential. Explain why.

: By binding to acetylcholine receptors, curare prevents the binding of acetylcholine. Curare does not open the receptor channels. An end-plate potential results from the opening of several ACh receptor channels. Thus, if the receptor is blocked, any end-plate potential that is produced would be smaller. Prostigmine blocks the enzyme that stops ACh action by degrading the neurotransmitter. Interfering with this enzyme prolongs the action of ACh, thus more receptor channels open and the end-plate potential is larger. Section Title: The Somatic Division Learning Outcome: 11.4

: Level II: Reviewing Concepts (Bloom's Taxonomy: Comprehension) 153) When more action potentials arrive at the axon terminal, how is the postsynaptic cell affected? A) Neurotransmitter release increases, but does not change the graded potentials that follow. B) Neurotransmitter release does not change, thus the postsynaptic cell behaves the same way it always behaves. C) Neurotransmitter release increases, thereby increasing the frequency or magnitude of graded potentials in the postsynaptic cell. D) Neurotransmitter release does not change, but voltages applied to the postsynaptic cell increase.
