2. The _____ receives external signals and transmits the information to the neuronal cell
body.
A. Axon
B. Dendrite
C. Soma
D. Synaptic terminal
E. Telodendron
Ans: B. Dendrite
4. Neurotransmitters synthesized in the soma of a neuron reach the synaptic cleft via
A. Action potentials
B. Anterograde axonal transport
C. Graded potentials
D. Retrograde axonal transport
E. Synaptic activity
5. The neuroglial cells responsible for myelinating axons in the central nervous system are
A. Astrocytes
B. Ependymal cells
C. Microglial cells
D. Oligodendrocytes
E. Schwann cells
Ans: D. Oligodendrocytes
A. Myelin sheaths produced by Schwann cells are associated with a basal lamina, whereas
those produced by oligodendrocytes have no such association
B. Oligodendrocyte cytoplasm is retained within the myelin sheath while Schwann cell
cytoplasm is not trapped
C. Processes of the oligodendrocytes contact the node of Ranvier in the central nervous
system whereas astrocyte processes contact the node in the parasympathetic nervous
system
D. Schwann cells myelinate several axons, while oligodendrocytes myelinate only a single
axon
E. The cell body of an oligodendrocyte is more closely associated with its myelin sheath than
the cell body of a Schwann cell is with its myelin sheath
Ans: A. Myelin sheaths produced by Schwann cells are associated with a basal lamina,
whereas those produced by oligodendrocytes have no such association
Ans: A. Endoneurium
9. Cell bodies of which of the following type of neuron are found in dorsal root ganglia?
A. Central nervous system
B. Parasympathetic nervous system
C. Sensory
D. Somatic motor
E. Sympathetic
Ans: C. Sensory
A child must not be put to the breast, if the mother’s health is very
poor, or if she has any venereal, scrofulous, consumptive taint, or
herpetic disease, St. Anthony’s fire, &c. We have conversed with
females who are subject to the last complaint, and who have
communicated it to their children, which destroyed them all. The
poison is transmitted from the mother to the child. In any of these
cases, the infant must be reared on the nursing bottle. It is best to
use cream instead of milk; the child thrives well upon it, less quantity
answers, and it does not curdle, like milk, upon the stomach.
Atrophy from Suckling.—Some women of a delicate constitution
cannot suckle long without an evident appearance of declining
health; and, if persisted in, it might terminate in a general wasting of
the body and loss of strength, or some morbid affection of the lungs.
When, therefore, a woman finds her health declining, and that she
gets weaker every day with loss of appetite and languor, she ought
immediately to leave off suckling; she should use a generous diet,
with a moderate quantity of wine bitters daily, and, if convenient,
change the air, particularly if an inhabitant of a large and populous
city or town. If the change is not found sufficiently efficacious of
itself, when conjoined with a restorative diet, a course of tonics
should be given. Gentle exercise on horseback or in a carriage will
greatly assist the effect of these remedies.
