What is the structure of a neuron?
This controls the executive function, speech(Brocca's area)
What is the Frontal Lobe?
This part of the brain controls sensory processing, spatial awareness
What is the Parietal Lobe?
This part of the brain controls hearing, memory, language comprehension( Wernicke's area).
What is the Temporal Lobe?
This part of the brain controls visual processing
What is the Occipital Lobe?
These are both chemical and electrical and occur at the synaptic cleft.
What are synapses?
This part of the brain is made up of the midbrain, pons and the medulla oblongata.
What is the brainstem?
This cranial nerve is responsible for facial movement and taste.
What is the facial nerve or cranial nerve VII?
These are the body's chemical messengers.
What are neurotransmitters?
Cranial Nerve VII receives taste stimuli from the front 67% of this part of the body.
What is the tongue?
Depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization.
What is an action potential?
The motor portion of Cranial nerve VII innervates muscles in this area and also stimulates ______
What are the facial muscles and the salivary glands?
This is a process in which electrical impulses (action potentials) rapidly propagate along myelinated neurons
What is saltatory conduction?
This is the step-by-step propagation of an action potential along an entire unmyelinated axon, where every segment of the membrane depolarizes sequentially
What is continuous conduction?
This cranial nerve separates and extends into the cochlear nerve, and this nerve.
What is cranial nerve VIII, or the Vestibulocochlear Nerve?
