AB  - OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:Draw  a  typical  neuron  and  identify  the  role  played  by  soma,  dendrites,  axon,  and  initial  segment  in  impulse  generation  and  conduction.Explain  the  basis  for  the  resting  membrane  potential  of  a  neuron  and  the  effect  of  hyperkalemia  and  hypokalemia  on  the  resting  potential.Explain  the  ionic  fluxes  that  occur  during  an  action  potential.Compare  and  contrast  how  unmyelinated  and  myelinated  neurons  propagate  impulses.Compare  the  conduction  velocity  and  other  properties  of  different  types  of  sensory  and  motor  nerve  fibers.Explain  the  importance  of  orthograde  and  retrograde  axonal  transport.Compare  the  functions  of  the  various  types  of  glia  found  in  the  nervous  system.Identify  neuropathologies  related  to  dysfunction  of  myelin  proteins  or  the  loss  of  myelin.Describe  the  function  of  neurotrophins.
