Neuroanatomy
This part of the brain isn’t fully developed until around 25.
What is the prefrontal cortex?
These are the nine weeks of carrying a child.
What are fetal stages?
These are carried two ways, inheriting recessive genes with a disorder or carrying a gene with a mutation.
What are single-cell disorders?
This theory suggests sleep had survival value, keeping our ancestors safe from nighttime predators.
What is behavioral theory?
This type of cell division produces two genetically identical daughter cells used for growth and repair.
What is mitosis?
This brain lobe processes visual information.
What is the Occipital Lobe?
This acts as the reliance between a mother and the baby, exchanging nutrients and waste.
What is the placenta?
This is when a set of the 23 pairs of chromosomes contains a number other than two.
What are cellosome disorders?
Activities during the day deplete key factors in the body, often needing us to "recharge" in the night.
What is restorative theory?
These reproductive cells, such as sperm and eggs, contain half the usual number of chromosomes.
What are gametes?
A man named H.M had this part of his brain removed, and struggled to form long term memories.
What is the Hippocampus?
This is then organs are formed, taking place during the first two months of prenatal development.
What is organogenesis?
Down Syndrome and Turner Syndrome are known as this.
What are chromosomal abnormalities?
Extension-of-waking-life theory reflects a person's current experiences and concerns, like my nightmare last night about Dr. Xeriland's Exam on this date.
What is March 19th, 2026?
This electrical signal travels down the axon of a neuron, allowing nerve cells to transmit information.
What is action potential?
This brain lobe is responsible for decision-making, planning, and impulse control.
What is the Frontal Lobe?
The outer part of the Blastocyst from which the amniotic sac, placenta, and umbilical cord develop.
What is a trophoblast?
PKU, cystic fibrosis, and Tay-Sachs are known as this type of disease.
What are recessive diseases?
This theory believed dreams are caused by the brain's effort to interpret random neural impulses.
What is activation-synthesis theory
This type of cell division reduces the chromosome number by half and creates genetically unique cells used in reproduction.
What is meiosis?
While each half of our brains control the other half of our bodies, they are still connected by this part of the brain.
What is the Corpus callosum?
Pregnant women are suggested not to change cat litter, to avoid this infection caused by a parasite.
What is toxoplasmosis?
This communication process is designed to help couples assess their chances of giving birth to a baby with a disorder, and choosing the best course of action.
What is genetic counseling?
Thoughts and Conflicts pushing into the unconscious, otherwise known as the "Id".
What is Freudian theory.
This junction between two neurons where neurotransmitters cross a tiny gap to send signals
What is a synapse?
