    The document summarizes key concepts in neuroscience including the reflex arc, action potentials, and ion movement across neuronal cell membranes. It asks questions about the reflex arc and which neurons are involved in detecting pain and contracting muscles. Regarding action potentials, it asks about the sequence of ion movement, numerical values of resting potential and threshold of excitation, and the timing of hyperpolarization and depolarization. It also asks about diffusion forces, ion concentrations, and the roles of the sodium-potassium pump and transporter in maintaining the membrane potential, as well as concepts like saltatory conduction, the all-or-none law, and the rate law.

    Psy 308 Fall 2010 Chapter 2 Part 2 Review Vocabulary: electrode, microelectrode, membrane potential, oscilloscope, resting potential,

    depolarization, hyperpolarization, action potential, threshold of excitation, diffusion, electrolyte, ion, electrostatic pressure, intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid, sodiumpotassium transporter, sodium-potassium pump, ion channel, voltage-dependent ion channel, all-or-none law, rate law, salutatory conduction

    Reflexes:
    What is the reflex arc? What neuron detects pain? What neuron tells the muscles to contract? Explain both functions of the interneuron?

    Resting and Action Potential:


    What ions are released and in what order during an action potential? What are the numerical values for resting potential, threshold of excitation? When does hyperpolarization and depolarization occur? Draw a cross section of the cell, the ions in highest concentration, and how the forces of diffusion and electrostatic pressure affect each ion: Na+, Cl-, K+, Anions.

    How does the force of electrostatic pressure affect each ion? Explain how the sodium potassium pump/transporter works? Explain: saltatory conduction, the all or none law, and the rate law.
