Regions of the brain
What are the different regions of the brain?
The different regions of the brain are the Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and the brain stem.
What are the different parts of a Neuron Structure?
The different parts of a Neuron structure are the Dendrites, Cell Body, Axon, Myelin Sheath, and Synapse.
What is short-term memory?
Short-term memory is the ability to remember information for between 15 and 30 seconds.
What's the longest bone in your body?

What does the right and left side of the brain control?
The right side of the brain controls the muscles on the left side of your body. While the left side of the brain controls the muscles on the right side of your body.
What are the dendrites responsible for?
The dendrites are responsible for receiving incoming nerve signals.
What is long-term memory?
Long-term memory is the ability to store and recall information for long periods of time.
What does a joint do?
It connects bone to bone

During soccer practice, Bob gets hit in the back of his head. After recovering from his injury, Bob notices that he has trouble keeping his balance and moving. What part of the brain was most likely affected, and what evidence do you have to support your answer?
The Cerebellum was most likely affected because Bob is having trouble keeping his balance, and he has trouble moving.
What would happen if there were no myelin sheath?
The nerve impulses would travel down the axon very slowly and take more time.
What are the four ways memory is developed?
2. Storage
3. Recall
4. Consolidation
What is the perpose for bones?
Which Disney princess has a pet tiger named Rajah in Aladdin?
Jasmine
Where is the Brain stem located?
The Brain stem is located between the Cerebrum and the Spinal cord.
What is the snyapse?
The space between two neurons.
How does smell interfere with memory?
The sense of smell comes from the olfactory neurons that are found in the nose. And when molecules are released by substances around us, they stimulate these neurons. Then the cells translate the molecules into a signal so the smell can be processed by the brain, causing one to remember things.
Where are the carpels located?

A basketball player hit her head during a game, and later had trouble solving problems, making decisions, and even controlling his arms, legs, etc. Doctors believe the injury affected the cerebrum. Why would damage to this brain region cause these types of problems?
The cerebrum is responsible for functions such as thinking, decision-making, and voluntary movement. So damage can affect a person's ability to reason, control actions, and process information.
Jordan accidentally steps on a sharp tack. Pain receptors in his foot detect the stimulus, and within a second, he lifts his foot off the ground. Describe the response pathway that occurs in this situation.
Dendrites → Cell Body → Axon (along the Myelin Sheath) → Axon Terminals → Synapse → Dendrites of the next neuron.
So first the dendrites receive the incoming signal, the signal moves to the cell body, then the impulse travels down the axon and the myelin sheath, next the signal reaches the axon terminals, and finally the signal crosses the synapse, which reaches the dendrites of the next neuron
What are some different strategies to help you remember things?
Mnemonics, chunking, and acronyms.
Where are the tarsals located?
In your ankle area
In The Little Mermaid, what is the name of Ariel’s fish best friend?
