Lecture 20: Nervous System Study Questions 1) How has nervous system complexity increased across different animal phyla? 2) What are the standard anatomical parts of a neuron, and what does each part do? 3) What are the three different types of neurons, and how are each of them similar and different from each other? 4) What is the sequence of events that takes place when a neuron fires? 5) What are the roles of the potassium channels, sodium channels, and the sodiumpotassium pumps in neuron function? 6) What role does hyperpolarization play in propagating a nerve impulse? 7) What are ligand-gated channels, and what role do they play in propagating a nerve impulse? 8) How are EPSPs and IPSPs different, what role does each of them play in typical nerve function? 9) What are the components of the central and peripheral nervous system? 10) What is the difference between somatic and autonomic components of the nervous system? 11) What is the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems? 12) How do reflex arcs work?
