• Dendrites contain the nuclei, ribosomes, mitochondria, and other structures found in most cells.
• True
• False

ANSWER: False

• Neurons receive information and transmit it to other cells.
• True

• Neurons are distinguished from other cells by their shape.
• True
• False

ANSWER: True

• The role of glial cells is to act like ―glue‖ or scaffolding to support the neurons.
• True
• False

ANSWER: False

• Glial cells transmit information across long distances.
• True
• False

ANSWER: False

• There are two types of glial cells that produce myelin sheath. In the central nervous system, Schwann

cells fulfill this role and, in the periphery, oligodendrocytes produce it.

• True
• False

ANSWER: False

• The blood-brain barrier is made up of closely packed glial cells.

• The difference in voltage in a resting neuron is called the resting potential.
• True
• False

ANSWER: True

• Increasing the electrical gradient for potassium will reduce the tendency for potassium ions to exit the

neuron.

• True
• False

ANSWER: True

• At the resting potential, the potassium channels are completely closed and the sodium channels are

almost closed.

• True
• False

ANSWER: False

• Dr. Skinner is working in the lab measuring the voltage of neurons, and during one condition, she

tried to depolarize the neurons from -70 mV to -80 mV.

• True
• False

ANSWER: False

• Action potentials can be produced in the dendrites of some neurons.
• True
• False

ANSWER: False
