The Brain
The brain has how many lobes in each hemisphere
What is 4 lobes
The lobe responsible for hearing, facial and recognition
What is the temporal lobe
Division that made up of the brain and spinal cord
What is the central nervous system
Space separating two neurons
What is synapse
What creates an impulse
What is a stimulus
The largest part of the brain
What is the cerebrum
Lobe responsible for emotions, personality, morality, intellect, speech and smell
What is the temporal lobe
Division that consists of cranial and spinal nerves
What is the peripheral nervous system
May tree-like projections from the neuron that carry messages to the cell body
What are Dendrite
Released at the end of the axon
What are neurotransmitters
The deep grove dividing the R and L hemisphere is called
What is the longitudinal fissure
Lobe that houses the visual area and controls sight
What is the occipital lobe
Part of the peripheral nervous system that controls involuntary functions such as heart and smooth muscle
What is the autonomic nervous system
The single long arm of the neuron that carries messages away from the cell body
What is the Axon
Neuron that sends information from sensory receptors to the spinal cord and brain
What are sensory neurons
Elevated folds on the surface of the cerebrum that increase surface area of the brain
What is convolutions
Lobe that receives and interprets nerve impulses from sensory receptors for pain, touch, heat and cold
What is the parietal lobe
Part of peripheral nervous system that controls voluntary movement via skeletal muscle
What is somatic nervous system
The insulating layer around neurons that allow nerve impulses to be transmitted quickly and efficiently
What are Myelin Sheath
Neurons that send information from central nervous system back to the body
What are motor neurons
The brain stem is composed of
What are pons, medulla and midbrain
Controls conscious thought, judgment, memory, reasoning and willpower
What is the cerebral cortex
Two divisions of the autonomic nervous system that work in opposition to regulate the body's function
What is the sympathetic and parasympathetic division
Specialized cells of the peripheral nervous system that plays a major role in the maintenance and regeneration of axons of the neurons
What are Schwann cells
Impulse travels into the neuron and on the -------- and out on the -----
What are dendrite and axon
