Exercise 6: Cardiovascular Physiology Worksheet Assignment Due: Week 6 Electrical Stimulation Activity 1: Direct Heart Stimulation 1. Did you see any change in the trace? I did not see a change in the trace 2. Why or why not? This is because it needs more stimulation 3. Did you see any change in the trace? I did see a change in the trace 4. Why or why not? This is because there is double stimulation. 5. Describe the change you see in the trace. How does it differ from the baseline

Exercise 3: Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses Worksheet Eliciting a Nerve Impulse Activity 1: Electrical Stimulation 1. Do you see any kind of response on the oscilloscope screen? No there was no response‚ the line was flat 2. What was the threshold voltage‚ or the voltage at which you first saw an action potential? 3.0V 3. How does this tracing compare to the one that was generated at the threshold voltage? At 3.5V the high & low peaks were just slightly above and below respectively

In this paper‚ “VTA CRF neurons mediate the aversive effects of nicotine withdrawal and promote intake escalation” describes how the multiple researchers‚ such a Grieder‚ Herman...George‚ hypothesized that drug addiction is driven by two mechanisms. One of the mechanisms is the Ventral tegmental area (VTA)‚ which is part of the brain that is rich in dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitter and is part of the two major reward pathway. The other mechanism is Corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRF)‚ which

is a neuron? o The individual nerve cell‚ comprised of the axon‚ dendrites‚ and cell body. 2. How many neurons in the nervous system? o 86 billion 3. Function of cell body‚ dendrites‚ and axons. o Cell body: Contains the nucleus and other major components. o Dendrites: Branch out from the cell body and receive messages from other neurons. o Axons: Carries messages away from the cell body to the dendrites. 4. Define polarization/depolarization. o Polarization: Resting state of neuron‚ semipermeable

! ! Activity 2.2.1: The Neuron ! Introduction You are waiting to cross the street at a busy intersection. All of a sudden‚ two cars collide right in front of you. Your hands instantaneously fly up to shield your face. You hear the horrible crunch of metal. You smell the burning rubber of tires and you open your eyes to see the skid marks on the road. Reaching for your cell phone‚ you dial 911. Your heart races as you run out in the street to see if you can be of any help. So much is happening at

Structure The nervous system consists of: a) Sensors b) Neurons – subdivided into: i) sensory (afferent) ii) motor (efferent) iii) interneurons- association neurons. c) Glial cells (neuroglia). Sensors Detect changes both internally and externally. Sensitive to a whole range of stimuli including:- temperature (thermoreceptors)

damage. All this information travels through neurons. Neurons are nerve cells that are essentially the basic building blocks of the nervous system. They are required to communicate information in both chemical and electrical forms. To process information in the brain‚ neurons must work together in a circuit-like fashion to function properly. No one nerve cell or neuron can work alone. Neurochemistry studies how information is passed between the billion of neurons in the brain. Evaluating what happens when
