Sample Physiology MCQs 1. Compound action potentials can be graded responses. True 2. The sciatic nerve contains axons of both afferent and efferent neurones. True 3. The absolute refractory period of an action potential is the period after an initial stimulus when it is impossible to evoke another action potential with a second stimulus. True 4. The refractory periods of individual axons are important as they dictate the maximal action potential firing rate of a neuron. True 5. Compound action

Aging is a process that all humans must go through‚ and as life expectancy increases it becomes more important to understand the intimate details to normal aging process. Maintaining health is very important to this process‚ the older a person becomes the more medical services is needed. Since aging is a process that begins when you are conceived and continues for as long as we live out life span‚ our body reflects genetic components and environmental experience. So in a genetic way our bodies

CELL ANATOMY Microbodies Brief History Microbodies were first discovered and named in 1954 by Rhodin. De Duve chose the name of Peroxisome because of its relationship with hydrogen peroxide. In 1967‚ Breidenbach and Beevers were the first to isolate microbodies from plants‚ which they named Glyoxysomes because they were found to contain enzymes of the Glyoxylate cycle. Definition Any of the membrane-bound‚ ovoid or spherical‚ granular cytoplasmic particles containing enzymes and other substances

SYSTEMIC ANATOMY 1. Give OIAN of the tongue. The muscles of tongue can be divided into intrinsic and extrinsic groups. The intrinsic muscles lie entirely within the tongue‚ while the extrinsic muscles attach the tongue to other structures. The extrinsic muscles reposition the tongue‚ while the intrinsic muscles alter the shape of the tongue for talking and swallowing. Extrinsic tongue muscles‚ by definition‚ originate from structures outside the tongue and insert into the tongue. The four paired
