Question

chapter 03 quiz: the biological bases of behavior
total points: ~/20
which tiny cells support the neuron with nourishment, waste elimination, and insulation for many axons?
dendrites
glia
leukocytes
terminal buttons
the stable negative charge of an inactive neuron is known as the
neural relay.
refractory period.
neural impulse.
resting potential.

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Dendrites receive signals for neurons, leukocytes are white blood cells unrelated to neuron support, terminal buttons release neurotransmitters. Glia cells perform the functions of nourishing neurons, removing waste, and insulating axons.
2. For the second question: A neural relay is a signal transfer point, refractory period is the recovery phase after a neuron fires, neural impulse is the electrical signal of an active neuron. The stable negative charge of an inactive neuron is the resting potential.

Answer:

1. Glia
2. resting potential.
