1) When an action potential reaches the end of the presynaptic neuron, what is the initial event
that triggers the release of a neurotransmitter?
on channels on the postsynaptic neuron open
Neurotransmitter binds to a receptor protein
Neurotransmitter is degraded
Calcium ions enter the presynaptic neuron
2) Which of these is not a secretion from the cells of the stomach?
Pepsin
Mucus
Hydrochloric acid
Amylase
3) Which of these events is a non-specific immune system response based on the concept of
recognition of "self or "not-self?
Macrophages recognizing an invading pathogen
Helper-T cells chemically notified of an antigen
Helper-T cells chemically signaling for the cloning of B cells
Helper-T cells chemically signaling for the cloning of T cells
4) Which of these pairs represents a blood vessel and a heart chamber that both contained
deoxygenated blood?
Superior vena cava, left atrium
Pulmonary artery, right ventricle
Pulmonary vein, right atrium
Pulmonary artery, left ventricle
5) Which of these is an event associated with inspiration?
Diaphragm relaxes
Volume of thorax decreases
Pressure inside thorax increases
