Information Processing
100
This segment of the cell is
responsible for receiving all incoming
information.
What is the receptive segment?

Return to
Game Board
Information Processing
200
The purpose of this cell process is to
increase the surface area of the
receptive segment of the cell.
What is a dendrite?

Return to
Game Board
Information Processing
300
This segment of the neuron is
responsible for analyzing incoming
information.
This region of the neuron tests for
critical threshold.
What is the axon hillock?

Game Board
Information Processing
400
This information processing function
is responsible for relaying
information from spot in the nervous
system to another.
What is transmission?

Return to
Game Board
Information Processing
500
This activity by the neuron produces
a response in the post-synaptic cell.

Synapses
100
Synapses form this type of gate and
thereby regulate the directional flow
of information within the nervous
system.
What is a one-way gate?

Synapses
200
This is the most common type of
synapse found in the nervous system.
What is axo-dendritic?

Synapses
300
Transmitter substance is stored in
this structure in the presynaptic
terminal.
What is a vesicle?

Synapses
400
This is the site where most
medications and poisons have their
effect.
What is the synaptic cleft?

Synapses
500
This mechanical model portrays the
relationship between the transmitter
molecule and the receptor site on the
post-synaptic membrane.
What is a key-and-lock arrangement?

Return to
Game Board
Physiology
100
This type of electrical conduction is
found along the myelinated segment
of the axon.
What is saltatory conduction?

Return to
Game Board
Physiology
200
This type of electrical conduction is
found along the receptive segment of
the neuron.
What is slow detrimental conduction?
Click to reveal the question
Return to
Game Board
Physiology
300
This is the way information is
portrayed along a neuron.
What is transient electrical
information?
Click to reveal the question
Return to
Game Board
Physiology
400
This electrical potential is maintained
by the sodium and potassium pumps
and disturbed by the arrival of
incoming information.
What is resting membrane potential?

Return to
Game Board
Physiology
500
This process of transferring
information from one neuron to
another accounts for the synaptic
delay in information transmission.
What is energy transduction (changing
from electrical to chemical back to
electrical)?
Click to reveal the question
Return to
Game Board
Miscellaneous
100
This type of neuron transmits
information from the receptor into
the CNS.
What is a first-order neuron?
Click to reveal the question
Return to
Game Board
Miscellaneous
200
All first-order neurons are this type
of cell.
What is a pseudo-monopolar cell?
Click to reveal the question
Return to
Game Board
Miscellaneous
300
This is the process by which
information from a single neuron is
spread to several post-synaptic
neurons.
This process enables parallel
information processing within the CNS.
What is divergence?

Return to
Game Board
Miscellaneous
400
The entrance of a growing axonal
sprout into this structure greatly
increases the chances that a postsynaptic cell will become re-innervated.
What is the tube of Schwann
cells (band of Bungner)?

Miscellaneous
500
This is the information coding
strategy used by the nervous system
to portray and transmit information.
What is a frequency code?

Pathology
100
This is the root cause of all
impairments following neuralgic
insult.
What is damage to neurons?

Pathology
200
This is the process of recovery of a
neuron in the peripheral nervous
system.
What is Wallerina de- and
regeneration?

Pathology
300
This is the most severe class of
peripheral nerve injury according to
Seddon.
What is neurotmesis?

Pathology
400
This term describes the swelling of
the cell body and peripheral
displacement of the nucleus and
Nissel substance following injury.
