To what gadget do neurotransmitters stick after they cross the gap?1 either, depending on situation potassium channels sodium channels What is the ration of Na to K ions pumped by the Na/K pump?1 3:2 6:1 1:1 100:1 Where does the action potential start?1 hillock axon terminals Schwann cells When the axon is resting, which is more abundant inside the membrane?1 K Ca Na The action potential can cross the synaptic cleft.1 True False What does the Na/K pump do?1 Restores the action potential. Gets rid of unwanted sodium and potassium ions. Makes sure the action potential only goes one way. Maintains the resting potenial. What crosses the synaptic cleft?1 cytokines neurotransmitters calcium ions the action potential An influx of sodium ions into the axon is what generates the action potential.1 True False The action potential can travel up and down, back and forth, along the neuron.1 True False Saltatory conduction gets its name from the Latin word “saltare” meaning:1 jump salt fast slow synapse 51: Nervous tissue of the CNS 53: Muscle fibers and the neuromuscular junction Back to: 52: The action potential and the synapse
