one Z disk to an adjacent Z disk

The cross-sectional view of the spinal cord reveals white matter on the

outside, gray matter on the inside, and a ventral motor root.

All the choices are correct (moving her arm medially, rotating her arm at the shoulder, moving her arm laterally)

When a neurotransmitter binds to its receptor and increases the permeability of the postsynaptic membrane to Na+,

An excitatory Postsynaptic potential will result

tibial nerve

Branches to form the medial and lateral plantar nerves

Which of the following situation occurs in electrically excitable cells?

Depolarization causes voltage gated sodium channels to open

Ependymal cells

The biceps femoris is part of the

Hamstring muscles

If the ventral root of a spinal nerve were cut, The regions innervated by that spinal nerve would experience complete loss of _______

Movement

Gaps or interruptions in the myelin sheath are called

Nodes of Ranvier

Damage to which of these nerves would be most life-threatening?

Phrenic nerves

After contraction has occurred, the Ca2+ are

Released from troponin
