Nervous System
"Sympa" Or "Para"
Methods in Research
Neurons
Random
100
Two components of the human nervous system: One involves the brain and spinal cord, the other are the nerves and ganglia (clusters of nerves) not directly on the brain or bones connects the CNS to your limbs, skin and organs.
What are the Central Nervous system and Peripheral Nervous System?
100
The Sympathetic Nervous System activate either of these responses.
What is fight or flight response?
100
Jane Goodall watched and documented behavior of chimpanzees in their natural environment.
What is naturalistic observation?
100
A sudden change in electrical charge inside a neuron (+30 millivolts) traveling across a cell membrane.
The process of a presynaptic neuron reabsorbing neurotransmitters, is known as this.
What is action potential?
What is reuptake?
100
Researchers would need to randomly assign participants, and manipulate an independent variable in this type of study to determine definitive cause and effect.
What is an experiment?
200
The PNS branches into two subcomponents; each with general bodily functions.
What are somatic and autonomic functions?
200
Parasympathetic activates this response
What is rest and digest?
200
Documenting through empirical and statistical evidence, the strength of relationship between variables in behavior etc.
What are correlational studies?
200
Close to 1 trillion of these help neurons in many important ways; they used to only think they served as waste disposal for neurons and not much more.
This part of the neuron protects the axon by insulating it making electrical impulse speedy and effecient.
What is glia or glial cells?
What is Myelin or Myelin sheath?
200
A study conducted over long period of time. They can be insightful in developmental psychology.
What are longitudinal studies?
300
Conscious voluntary movements of skeletal muscles as a result of processing external sensory stimuli is controlled by this.
What is somatic function?
300
Dilated pupils, increased heart rate, fast breathing are symptoms of this system working.
What is the sympathetic system?
300
This type of research study can prove a causal relationship between developing a certain mental condition and social media.
What is an experiment?
300
The body of a cell is called this.
These neuron types receive messages from nose, eye, tongue, ear and skin and relayed to the brain and spinal cord.
What is soma?
What are afferent neurons?
300
These type of studies/research study the relationship between two variables; determining strength using a coefficient score.
What are correlational studies?
400
Manages unconscious involuntary body functions such as breathing, heart rate, digestion etc.
What is autonomic?
400
Calm breathing through airways, helps conserve energy, and breakdown food / squeeze out urine are examples of this system at work.
What is parasympathetic?
400
Twin studies combined with any, or all 4, of these other studies attempt to measure and compare heritability and influences of environment on individuals.
What are twin studies, family studies, DNA/Genetic studies, adoption studies?
400
The third type of neuron which facilitates connection across the neural network.
What are interneurons?
400
The building blocks of the nervous system.
These are two types of neurons; one receive afferent signals the other sends efferent signals?
What are neurons?
What are sensory neurons and motor neurons?
500
Disruption, or injury to the somatic division of the peripheral nervous system, affects this.
What are muscles / tendons bones / voluntary movement?
500
Double Jeopardy!
constricted pupils, and increased salivation.
500
This requisite ensures target population are entered in either the assignment group or control group, also known as the placebo group.
What is random assignment?
500
When neurons fires these tiny sacs release neurotransmitters from the axon terminals.
Neurotransmitters travel across spaces between neurons known as this.
What are synaptic vesicles?
What is synapse / synaptic cleft?
500
Double Jeopardy!
