Download Neurophysiology & Muscle Physiology: Potentials, Transmitters, & Contraction and more Exercises Biology in PDF only on Docsity! 1. Understand the resting membrane potential and what value it has. 2. What happens during depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization? Know the values for each of these stages. 3. What ions/cations are responsible for an action potential? What happens during an action potential? 4. Are action potentials all or nothing responses? 5. What are ESPS and ISPS? Do they result in all or nothing responses, or graded responses? How are they transmitted? 6. What are neurotransmitters? What are the four criteria for a neurotransmitter? Know some examples of neurotransmitters. 7. How do muscle cells contract? 8. Know actin filaments and myosin filaments. Understand how they work together to make a contraction. What else is associated with these structures? 9. Know the different connective tissue in organisms and examples of each. 10. Understand the process of homeostasis and the different components that are involved. 11. What are the different types of homeostasis? 12. What are the different types of muscles? Bones? Blood cells? Know the structures of a neuron. Know their functions and structures. 13. What are the different kinds of joints in animals? Where in the body can they be found? 14. How does calcium play a role in muscle contraction? Where is it stored? 15. The exam will consist of multiple choice questions, true and false questions, and will have a figure pertaining to the action potential (for labeling/matching). docsity.com
