200 What is the spinal cord? This is where the interneurons are located in a reflex arc (pathway). Am I getting through? 200	200 What is the medulla oblongata? This part of the CNS senses a change in blood pH. This test is makin me anxious. 200	200 What is smooth muscle? This cell is involuntary and unstriated. You can't handle these biceps. 200	200 What are interferons? These compounds are produced by virus-infected tissues to help neighboring cells ward off virus attacks. My temperature is RISING 200	200 What is a memory cell? This type of cell is produced after an immune response to a specific antigen and it launches an attack the next time that the same antigen infects the body? Cover your mouth 200	200 What is a neurotransmitter? This is released into the synaptic cleft and acts as an intercellular messenger. I am so confused 200
400 What is glia? aka neuroglia / glial cells These are the cells that provide support and protection for neurons. Am I getting through? 400	400 What is the exocytosis of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic membrane of the axon terminal? This is how neurons pass an action potential to the next neuron. This test is makin me anxious. 400	400 What is the somatic nervous system (part of the PNS)? This division of the nervous system controls skeletal muscle. You can't handle these biceps. 400	400 What are B cell? (plasma cells) These are cells that release antibodies. My temperature is RISING 400	400 Adaptive immunity is developed specifically in response to an epitope of an antigen and the response builds in case one is exposed again. Innate immunity is active immediatedly upon infection whether or not the pathogen has been encountered before. This is the difference between innate and adaptive immunity. Cover your mouth 400	400 What is graft versus host? A transplanted tissue attacks the patient. I am so confused 400
600 What are radial glia? What are astrocytes? These glial cells are important in neurogenesis. 2nd part - These other glial cells are important for the uptake of neurotransmitters. Am I getting through? 600	600 What is the efflux (out of the cell) or facilitated diffusion of potassium ions? This repolarizes a neuron. This test is makin me anxious. 600	600 What are tendons? This connects muscles to bones. You can't handle these biceps. 600	600 What is IgG? The antibody that can cause fetal rejection of the second child. My temperature is RISING 600	600 What are cytotoxic T cells? (Natural Killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune response, but are also lymphocytes.) These lymphocytes,which are part of the adaptive immune response, attack virus-infected body cells and tumor cells. Cover your mouth 600	600 What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum? This stores calcium ions that bind to the regulatory fibers surrounding actin. I am so confused 600
800 What is the refractory period? The signal cannot get passed backwards because after depolarization the sodium ion channels are inactivated and cannot be reopened until after hyperpolarization. This causes the action potential to move in only one direction along an axon. Am I getting through? 800	800 What is the parasympathetic division? This is the part of the nervous system that is involved in normal maintenance or function. This test is makin me anxious. 800	800 What is calcium released by the sarcoplasmic reticulum of a muscle cell? This binds to the troponin and pulls tropomyosin away from the myosin-binding site. You can't handle these biceps. 800	800 What is opsonization? The marking of antigens for consumption by a phagocyte. My temperature is RISING 800	800 What is IgE? This antibody binds to mast cells and causes the release of histamine. Cover your mouth 800	800 What is mylenated and large diameter axon? These anatomical features increase the speed of conducting a signal along an axon. I am so confused 800
1000 What is a temporal summation? Hint: do you remember spatial summation as well. This describes a high frequency of signals sent from a presynaptic neuron that causes an action potential in a postsynaptic neuron. Am I getting through? 1000	1000 What are the Nodes of Ranvier? The unmyelinated parts of a myelinated axon. This test is makin me anxious. 1000	1000 What is acetylcholine? This compound causes an action potential in a muscle. You can't handle these biceps. 1000	1000 What are eosinophils? This blood cell releases enzymes and other chemical, such as peroxide, that can destroy multicellular parasites. My temperature is RISING 1000	1000 What are CD8 and CD4? Do you remember which cells these are on and which MHC class that they bind to? These two molecules help T cells bind to MHC Class I or Class II. Cover your mouth 1000	1000 What is the saltatory conduction? This is the term that describes when an action potential jumps along the axon from node to node. I am so confused 1000
