Brain Parts
The part of the brain that is responsible for balance and coordination? Cerebrum OR Cerebellum OR Amygdala
What is Cerebellum
What part of the neuron receives messages?
Soma OR dendrites OR Axon
What are Dendrites
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help move electrical signals across two neurons ends during what process?
Synergy OR Synapses OR Signalling
What is Synapses

A) The pituitary gland
B) The Pineal gland
C) The Thyroid gland
What is B) The pineal gland
True or False: A larger brain means someone is more intelligent?
What is false!
The part of the brain responsible for breathing, heart rate and temp?
Cerebrum OR Cerebellum OR Brain Stem
What is Brain Stem
Which part of the neuron contains its nucleus and keeps the cell alive?
Soma OR Dendrites Or Axon
What is Soma
The job of a neurotransmitter is to?
a) Send warnings to the brain to induce anxious feelings
b) To carry messages like joy versus sadness
c) To jump start the brain when waking up
What is b) To carry messages like joy versus sadness
Which gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. An overactive one can lead to anxiety and irritability, while an underactive one can cause depression and fatigue.
A) The pituitary gland
B) The Pineal gland
C) The Thyroid gland
What is C) The Thyroid gland
This famous scientist had a brain that was studied after his death for clues about genius.
This lobe is associated with sight?
Frontal OR Parietal OR temporal OR occipital
What is Occipital Lobe
What part of the neuron send information along the cell to be sent to other neurons?
Soma OR dendrites OR Axon
What is Axon
What neurotransmitter is released during exercise?
Dopamine OR Serotonin OR Endorphins
What are Endorphins
Which gland produce hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
Cortisol helps regulate stress responses, while adrenaline prepares the body for fight-or-flight reactions. Chronic high levels of cortisol can lead to anxiety, mood swings, and impaired cognitive function.
Thyroid OR Adrenal OR Pancreas
What are adrenal glands
The average human brain weighs about how many pounds?
What is 3 pounds
What side of the body does the left side of the brain control?
What is the Right!
When a signal is received by the neuron, is it transmitted in the form of an electrical signal, and, if the signal is strong enough, it may then be passed through the neuron, along to the axon and then to where?
Dendrites OR Terminal Buttons OR Soma
What are Terminal Buttons
Low levels of the neurotransmitter Serotonin can lead to what?
Depression OR Schizophrenia OR Parkinson's
What is depression
Which gland produces insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels. Imbalances can lead to mood swings, irritability, or fatigue, particularly in individuals with diabetes.
Thyroid OR Adrenal OR Pancreas
What is the Pancreas
The term prefrontal cortex refers to the very front part of the brain located behind the forehead and above the eyes. It appears to play a critical role in the regulation of emotion and behavior by anticipating the consequences of our actions and inhibiting behaviors.
At what age does the prefrontal cortex typically finish developing?
This lobe is associated with thinking, memory and behaviour?
Frontal OR Parietal OR temporal OR occipital
What is Frontal
The process in which one neuron communicates with other neurons across the spaces between the two cells is known as?
What is Synapses
This neurotransmitter is involved with pleasure, learning, and motivation?
Dopamine OR Serotonin OR Endorphins
What is Dopamine
What gland is often called the "master gland," it regulates other glands and hormones. It influences growth, metabolism, and stress responses. For example, it releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) during stress, which can affect mood and behavior.
Pituitary OR Pineal OR Thyroid OR Gonads
What is Pituitary gland
This condition occurs when there is a lack of blood flow to the brain.
A) Heart Attack
B) Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
C) Stroke
What is C) Stroke
