Catching a ball and swatting a mosquito are both examples of a reflex or response?
Response
What are the three glands involved in the body's long term stress response and what is it called?

The "jumps" that lead to rapid transmission of an action potential along an axon are called:
Saltatory Conduction
Which part of the brain is responsible for touch and temperature awareness?
Pareital Lobe
What is the name of the thin membrane separating the cochlea from the middle ear?

Semicircular Canals
From the four layers of the retina, which are responsible for converting light energy into electrical energy?
Cones and rods
The sympathetic nervous system increases/decreases heart rate, i/d breathing rate, and i/d digestive activity
What is the difference between a reflex and a reaction?
A reflex is something which you are born with, while a reaction is something you learn over your time/experience of doing said action.
What two different types of hormones are released by the Hypothalamus
