100
When people use drugs, it stops neurotransmitters from reaching this section between.
Synapse
100
What part of the neuron receives messages?
Dendrites
100
This bundle of nerves connects the left and right hemisphere.
Corpus callosum
200
The CNS is connected to the PNS? Tell me what PNS stands for and what is the purpose in the body?
Peripheral Nervous System....Outer parts of the body....Signals back and forth
200
The job of hormones are ___________ that are released into the ____________.
Chemical messengers - Bloodstream
200
Which neurotransmitters affects sleep, mood, hunger, and arousal. Undersupply of this can lead to depression.
Serotonin
200
2 parts: The structure of the brain is essential for forming long-term memories... (Which lobe is it in?)
Hint: Who's got a great memory?
Hippocampus - in the temporal lobe
200
This lobe of the brain controls coordination vision, perception and visual memory.
Occipital lobe.
300
1. Which nervous system is responsible to respond to stress or danger?
2. What other way can we describe this reaction?
"_______ or _______ "
Sympathetic Nervous System
"Fight or Flight"
300
After consuming a banana split, which hormones would be expected to increase? Hint: Balances sugar
Insulin
300
Which lobe of the brain is responsible for motor functions?
Frontal lobe
300
How does dopamine affect your body?
(Name 2 of the 4 functions)
Influences movement, learning, attention and emotion.
300
What are the functions of the temporal lobe? (Give 2 of the 3
Short term memory, equilibrium, and emotion
400
The Autonomic Nervous is broken into 2 parts.
What is the function of the Sympathetic Nervous System and Parasympathetic Nervous System?
Sympathetic - Increases heart rate, blood pressure. The arousing part of the NS
Parasympathetic - Regulates the body - Tries to reach homeostasis... Slows heart rate and drops BP.
400
Part 1 - Why is the pituitary gland called the master gland?
Part 2 - What functions does it control?
Controls the functions of other glands. Growth , metabolism and sexual development.
400
Explain what each part of the frontal & temporal lobe does:
Broca's area:
Wernicke area:
Broca - Speech production
Wernicke - Understanding spoken language
400
MS or multiple sclerosis is a result of generation in the this part of the neuron?
Hint: Brrrr its cold....I need a coat
Myelin sheath
400
Name the 4 lobes of the brain
500
Explain the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron.
A sensory neuron carries signals from the body's sensory receptors towards the central nervous system (CNS), while a motor neuron carries signals from the CNS to muscles and glands, causing movement; essentially, sensory neurons receive information from the environment, while motor neurons initiate actions based on that information
500
Epinephrine and norepinephrine increase energy and are released by the ___________ glands.
What is the purpose of the ________ glands.
Adrenal
Produce hormones - Stress response - metabolism - immune system - water / salt balance.
500
What is the purpose of the brain stem? Explain
The brainstem serves as the control center for many vital bodily functions, including breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, consciousness, and swallowing, by relaying information between the brain and the rest of the body, essentially acting as a bridge between the spinal cord and the cerebrum; it is responsible for regulating these functions automatically, without conscious thought.
