    _____ produce myelin in the PNS.

    Explanation
    Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells are the two types of cells that produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing myelin in the central nervous system (CNS), while Schwann cells produce myelin in the PNS. Myelin is a fatty substance that wraps around nerve fibers, acting as an insulator and increasing the speed of electrical signals. Salutatory conduction refers to the rapid jumping of the electrical signal from one node of Ranvier to another, facilitated by the presence of myelin. Therefore, all three options - oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, and salutatory conduction - are related to the production and function of myelin in the PNS.

    The third key transition in the animal body plan was the evolution of the _____

    Correct Answer
    body symmetry
    body cavity
    nervous tissue
    Explanation
    The correct answer is body symmetry, body cavity, nervous tissue. These three key transitions in the animal body plan played crucial roles in the evolution and development of different animal species. Body symmetry refers to the arrangement of body parts and can be bilateral or radial, allowing for efficient movement and specialized structures. The evolution of a body cavity provided support and protection for internal organs, facilitating their function. Nervous tissue allowed for the development of a central nervous system, enabling animals to respond to stimuli and exhibit complex behaviors. These transitions were significant in shaping the diversity and complexity of animal life.

    What type of synapses are the vast majority of synapses in vertebrate?

    • Chemical

    • Electrical

    • Neurological

    • Synaptic cleft

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemical
    Explanation
    The vast majority of synapses in vertebrates are chemical synapses. Chemical synapses involve the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, allowing for the transmission of signals between neurons. This type of synapse is the most common and important mechanism for communication between neurons in the vertebrate nervous system. Electrical synapses, on the other hand, involve direct electrical coupling between neurons, but they are relatively rare compared to chemical synapses. Neurological and synaptic cleft are not types of synapses.

    What creates a type of insulation around the neuron, allowing the neuron to use salutatory conduction which is faster?

    • Coelomates

    • Myelin sheath

    • Nociceptors

    Correct Answer
    A. Myelin sheath
    Explanation
    The myelin sheath is a protective layer that wraps around the axon of a neuron, creating insulation. This insulation allows for saltatory conduction, a process in which the electrical signal jumps from one node of Ranvier to another, significantly increasing the speed of signal transmission. Therefore, the myelin sheath enables faster conduction of nerve impulses, enhancing the efficiency of neuronal communication.

    Positive feedback does not help themselves in homeostasis, true or false?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Positive feedback does not help in homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment. Positive feedback amplifies a response, moving the body away from its original state, which is opposite to the goal of maintaining stability. Therefore, positive feedback does not contribute to homeostasis.

    • Smooth

    • Connective

    • Muscle

    • Nervous

    • Cardiac

    Correct Answer
    A. Nervous
    Explanation
    The tissue that connects the brain and spinal cord to the heart and helps regulate the heartbeat is nervous tissue. Nervous tissue is responsible for transmitting signals and impulses throughout the body, including the coordination of heart rate and rhythm. It contains specialized cells called neurons that can receive, process, and transmit information, allowing for the regulation of various bodily functions, including the heartbeat.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    What is salutatory conduction?

    • When impulses jump from node to node

    • When impulses jump from node to transmitter

    • No jumping occurs

    • When the potassium is transported through gradient

    • When myelinated axons conduct impulses slower

    Correct Answer
    A. When impulses jump from node to node
    Explanation
    Salutatory conduction refers to the process in which nerve impulses jump from one node of Ranvier to another along a myelinated axon. This allows for faster transmission of the impulse compared to unmyelinated axons, where the impulse travels continuously. The nodes of Ranvier are small gaps in the myelin sheath that allow for the efficient propagation of the electrical signal. By skipping these gaps, the impulse can quickly travel along the axon, resulting in rapid and efficient conduction of nerve signals.

    The muscle forms from what type of tissue "germ layer"?

    • Endoderm

    • Ectoderm

    • Mesoderm

    Correct Answer
    A. Mesoderm
    Explanation
    The muscle forms from mesoderm tissue. During embryonic development, the mesoderm layer gives rise to various structures including muscle tissue. Mesoderm cells differentiate into myoblasts, which further develop into muscle fibers. These muscle fibers then form the different types of muscles in the body, such as skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. Therefore, the correct answer is mesoderm.

  • 23. 

    True of false a porifera has no symmetry?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Porifera, commonly known as sponges, indeed have no symmetry. They lack any definite shape or symmetry due to their simple and primitive body organization. Unlike other animals that possess radial or bilateral symmetry, sponges have irregular and asymmetrical body structures. This means that if a sponge is divided into two halves, the halves will not be mirror images of each other. Therefore, the statement "a porifera has no symmetry" is true.

    What transmits impulses percieved as pain?

    • Cutaneous receptors

    • Nociceptors

    • Myline sheaths

    • Neurotransmitters

    Correct Answer
    A. Nociceptors
    Explanation
    Nociceptors are sensory receptors that transmit impulses perceived as pain. These specialized nerve endings are found throughout the body, particularly in the skin, muscles, and internal organs. When there is tissue damage or potential harm, nociceptors detect and respond to harmful stimuli such as heat, pressure, or chemicals. They then send signals to the brain, which interprets these signals as pain. Nociceptors play a crucial role in alerting the body to potential danger and initiating protective responses.

    What provides homeostasis for the organisms?

    • Positive feedback

    • Internal factors

    • Negative feedback

    • Nervous tissues

    Correct Answer
    A. Negative feedback
    Explanation
    Negative feedback provides homeostasis for organisms by counteracting any changes or imbalances in the internal environment. When a deviation from the set point occurs, negative feedback mechanisms work to bring the system back to its normal state. This is achieved by detecting the change and initiating responses that oppose or reverse the deviation. For example, if body temperature rises above the set point, negative feedback mechanisms will trigger responses such as sweating and vasodilation to cool the body down and restore the normal temperature.

    A protostome has what kind of cleavage?

    • Radial

    • Spiral

    • Radical

    Correct Answer
    A. Spiral
    Explanation
    A protostome has spiral cleavage. This type of cleavage is characterized by the spiral arrangement of the cells during early embryonic development. The cells divide at oblique angles to each other, resulting in a spiral pattern. This pattern is important for the subsequent formation of the body plan in protostomes, as it determines the positioning of the cells and their fate in the developing embryo.

    Which of the four is not a germ layer tissue?

    • Epithelial

    • Mesoderm

    • Ectoderm

    • Endoderm

    Correct Answer
    A. Epithelial
    Explanation
    Epithelial tissue is not a germ layer tissue. The germ layers are the three primary layers of cells that form during embryonic development: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. These germ layers give rise to all the different types of tissues in the body, including epithelial tissue. Therefore, epithelial tissue cannot be considered a germ layer tissue.

  • 28. 

    Negative feedback mechanisms often oppose each other to produce a finer degree of control?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Negative feedback mechanisms often oppose each other to produce a finer degree of control because they work in a way that counteracts any deviation from the desired set point. When one negative feedback mechanism is activated to restore the set point, another mechanism may be simultaneously activated to fine-tune the control and ensure that the set point is maintained within a narrow range. This opposing action between multiple negative feedback mechanisms allows for a more precise and accurate regulation of physiological processes.

    The rapid inward diffusion of sodium followed by the outward diffusion of potassium produces a rapid change in the membrane potential called an?

    • Graded potential

    • Action potential

    Correct Answer
    A. Action potential
    Explanation
    The rapid inward diffusion of sodium followed by the outward diffusion of potassium refers to the process of depolarization and repolarization of a neuron's membrane. This sequence of events leads to a rapid change in the membrane potential, which is known as an action potential. Action potentials are the electrical signals that allow neurons to communicate with each other and transmit information throughout the nervous system. Graded potentials, on the other hand, are smaller changes in membrane potential that can either be depolarizing or hyperpolarizing, but they do not have the same all-or-nothing characteristic as action potentials.

    Deuterosomes show patterns of what type of cleavage

    • Radial

    • Spiral

    • Helix

    Correct Answer
    A. Radial
    Explanation
    Deuterostomes show patterns of radial cleavage. Radial cleavage is a type of embryonic development where the cells divide in a pattern that is perpendicular or at right angles to the polar axis of the embryo. This results in cells being stacked directly on top of each other. This type of cleavage is characteristic of deuterostomes, which include animals such as echinoderms (like starfish) and chordates (like humans). In contrast, spiral cleavage is seen in protostomes, where the cell divisions are diagonal to the polar axis, and helical cleavage is a rare type of cleavage that is not commonly observed in animal development.

    The membrane of a resting neuron is much more permeable to what ion?

    • Potassium

    • Sodium

    • Floride

    • Iodine

    Correct Answer
    A. Potassium
    Explanation
    The resting membrane potential of a neuron is primarily determined by the permeability of the membrane to different ions. In a resting neuron, the membrane is more permeable to potassium ions compared to other ions such as sodium, fluoride, or iodine. This is because the neuron has a higher number of potassium channels that are open, allowing potassium ions to move more freely across the membrane. As a result, potassium ions play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining the resting membrane potential of a neuron.

    • They used DNA sequencing to establish new clades

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because all of the given options represent differences between the traditional and modern classification of animals. The rearrangement of pseudocoelomates, acoelomates, and coelomates suggests a shift in the way animals are grouped based on their body cavities. The establishment of two new clades, Ecdysozoa and Lophotrochozoa, indicates a new way of categorizing animals based on evolutionary relationships. Lastly, the use of DNA sequencing as evidence for classification is a modern approach that was not available in traditional classification systems.
