What is Vision or Sight

100

The resting potential of a nerve

What is -70 mV

100

The main body of a nerve

What is the soma

100

The clear fluid between the lens and the cornea

What is Aqueous Humor

100

The lobe of the brain that regulates sight

What is the Occipital lobe?

200

The Olfactory Nerve controls this

What is Smell

200

A nerve cell depolarizes when this ion's channels are open allowing them to enter the cell quickly

What is sodium

200

The end of a nerve where neurotransmitters are released

What is the Axon Terminal

200
This part of the eye focuses the light entering the eye on the retina

What is the lens

200

The lobe of the brain that processes hearing

Temporal Lobe

300

The trigeminal nerve or 5th cranial nerve controls the muscles found here.

What is the face?

300

The traveling of an electrical signal down an axon is known as this

What is an action potential?

300

The gaps in the myalin Sheath that allows a signal to move quickly

What are the Nodes of Ranvier

300

When the eye is to short. Also known as far-sighted

What is Hyperopia
300

This part of the brain regulates Balance

What is the Cerebellum?

400

The 4th cranial nerve known as the trochlear nerve stimulates only 1 muscle. That muscle is found in this organ

What is the eye?

400

Neurotransmitters can be removed from the synapse by diffusion, denaturing (destroying) or by this third process

What is reuptake?

400

The gap between a nerve cell and a target cell

What is a synapse

400

The thick viscous liquid in the large part of the eye

What is Vitrious Humor

400

This region regulates breathing and many other primal basic functions

What is the brain Stem?

500

Cranial Nerve X which controls the intestines and heart is more commonly known as this

What is the Vagas Nerve

500

This voltage will cause the ion channels of the nerve to open sending a signal down the nerve

What is -55 mV

500
The cells that wrap around the axon of a nerve creating the Myalin Sheath

What are Schwann cells

500

Cataracts is caused by a flaw in this part of the eye

What is the lens

500

This part of the brain is used in problem solving

What is the fronal lobe?
