NEURON
Name at least 4 parts of the neuron
Soma, Axon, Dendrites, Myelin Sheath, Node of ranvier
What are the two main parts of the nervous system?
Central and Peripheral nervous systems
Which hemisphere controls logical thinking and language?
Left Hemisphere
Which lobe controls thinking and decision-making?
Frontal Lobe
What is neuroplasticity?
The brain’s ability to change and form new connections
What is the basic building block of the nervous system?
The neuron
What does the nervous system do?
Sends and receives information throughout the body
Which hemisphere controls creativity and art?
Right Hemispheres
Which lobe controls vision?
Occipatal Lobe
What part connects the brain to the spinal cord?
Brain Stem
What part of the neuron receives messages?
Dendrites
What organs are part of the central nervous system?
The brain and spinal cord
True or False: Both hemispheres work together in most activities.
True
Which lobe controls hearing and memory?
Temporal Lobe
How does learning affect neuroplasticity?
Learning creates new neural connections
What is the gap between two neurons called?
Synapses
Which system connects the CNS to the rest of the body?
The Peripheral Nervous System
Give one example of an activity dominated by each hemisphere.
Left: solving math problems; Right: drawing or music
Which lobe processes touch and sensory information?
Parietal Lobe
What part of the brain controls emotions?
Amygdala
What is the function of the myelin sheath?
It protects the axon and speeds up message transmission
What happens when a message travels from the brain to your hand?
It goes through neurons and spinal cord to activate movement
True or False: Does the brain work in a cross form when we talk about sight?
True
Why is the frontal lobe considered the “control center”?
Because it handles planning, reasoning, and personality
Why is neuroplasticity important for recovery after brain injury?
Because the brain can adapt and other areas can take over lost functions
