When neuron, you're on!
You're gonna lobe this!
Do you remember?
Synapse to it!
This and That
100
Carries electrical impulses from cell bodies to the presynaptic terminal.
What is an AXON
100
This lobe is responsible for decision making, planning, and learned movements.
What is the FRONTAL lobe?
100
This type of memory is relevant for a brief time, and is quickly replaced.
What is SHORT-TERM memory?
100
The space between the presynaptic and the postsynaptic terminals, where neurotransmitters are released.
What is a SYNAPSE?
100
These structures have roughly the area of a tennis court for oxygen absorption and are both in your thoracic cavity.
What are LUNGS?
200
Lines axons and acts as insulation for nerve signal conduction.
What is MYELIN (sheath)?
200
This lobe is responsible for processing cutaneous senses, body positioning, as well as taste.
What is the PARIETAL lobe?
200
It's name is Latin for "Seahorse", this structure is in charge of long-term memory storage.
What is the HIPPOCAMPUS?
200
Gets dumped into the synapse by the presynaptic terminal and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.
What is a NEUROTRANSMITTER?
200
Sue was diagnosed with the bacterial version of this disease.
What is MENINGITIS?
300
Receive signals from either sensory cells or other nerve cells and transmit them to the cell body.
What are DENDRITES!
300
Located in the temporal lobe, this structure handles the processing of thoughts that precede speech.
What is WERNICKE'S AREA?
300
When you learn to play the piano, those fine motor movements are stored in and accessed from this area.
What is the PREMOTOR CORTEX?
300
These hang out in the presynaptic terminal, holding a small amount of neurotransmitter.
What are SYNAPTIC VESICLES?
300
Melissa has this OBSTRUCTIVE lung disease that inhibits her breathing, from time to time.
What is ASTHMA?
400
These carry electrical impulses from the CNS to an effector (muscle, gland, etc.).
What are MOTOR neurons?
400
Located in the frontal lobe, this structure is in charge of planning voluntary movements.
What is the MOTOR CORTEX?
400
This berry-sized area helps with assign emotions and handles motivation and drives.
What is the AMYGDALA?
400
Structures that receive the neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic membrane, and signal the cell to respond to that stimulus.
What are RECEPTORS?
400
This type of bacteria (stained) has a THICK peptidoglycan layer as it's outermost structure.
What is GRAM POSITIVE?
500
In the CNS, these cells produce MYELIN sheathes for the axons of many neurons.
What are OLIGODENDROCYTES?
500
This area has the task of handling the motor movements involved in speech.
What is BROCCA'S AREA?
500
This sense, because it is handled by the amygdala, is often the most emotion evoking of them all.
What is the OLFACTORY SENSE (smell)?
500
In motor neurons, this structure can actually be part of a muscle cell.
What is the POSTSYNAPTIC MEMBRANE?
500
This volume represents the tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), and expiratory reserve volume (ERV) added together:
What is the VITAL CAPACITY (VC)?
