Neurons and Neural Transmission starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Neurons and Neural Transmission.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
A student is learning about neural transmission. She reads that when a neuron is stimulated, the inside of the cell becomes less negative. What is this process called?
Describe the all-or-none principle in neural transmission.
Describe the difference between afferent and efferent neurons.
Describe the role of calcium ions in neurotransmitter release at the synapse.
Explain how drugs that block reuptake of neurotransmitters can affect neural transmission.
Explain the role of the sodium-potassium pump in maintaining the resting potential of a neuron.
Explain what happens when an action potential reaches the axon terminal.
Name the process by which a neuron sends an electrical signal down its axon.
What is the basic functional unit of the nervous system?
What is the function of the axon terminal?
What is the main difference between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters?
What is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain?
What is the name of the small gaps between segments of myelin sheath along an axon?
