Brain Regions
This region of the brain is responsible for conscious thought.
What is the front lobe/cortex?
This is the fluid found within cavities surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
What is cerebral spinal fluid? [CSF]
This is the insulator layer around a neuron?
What is myelin?
This is the number of spinal neurons found in humans.
What is 31?
This region of the nerve receives signals from its neighboring cells.
What are dendrites?
Visual stimuli are sent to this region of the brain.
What is the occipital lobe?
Damage to this area of the brain would lead to issues with balance and coordination.
What is the cerebellum?
This region of the brain is unmyelinated.
What is the gray matter?
This condition leads to the thinning and loss of myelin on bodily and CNS neurons.
What is multiple sclerosis?
This is the name of the change in charge within the neuron itself following binding a signal molecule.
What is depolarization?
This region of the brain is responsible for maintaining heart rate, blood pressure, hunger stimuli. (Homeostasis)
What is the hypothalamus?
This is the generalized area/group of structures that maintains autonomic bodily functions.
What is the brain stem?
This is the name of the membrane-bound sack released by a nerve to deliver neurotransmitters to a neighboring cell.
What is a vesicle?
This is the region of a neuron responsible for receiving signal molecules.
What are dendrites?
This is the space between two neurons.
What is the synapse?
This region of the brain coordinates the body's Circadian Rhythm via hormones such as melatonin and serotonin.
What is the pineal gland?
A tear in this would result of the exchange of material between lateral ventricles within the brain.
What is the septum pellucidum?
In neural function, the speed at which signals are transmitted along a nerve is directly proportional to the:
What is the size/thickness of the axon?
A neuron is protected from biological threats due to the efforts of this source.
What are microglial cells?
These are the ions that will enter the neuron during neuron activation that cause it to depolarize.
What are Na+ ions?
This region of the brain is responsible for storing memories that are tied to emotions. It is also used in fear and aggression responses.
What is the amygdala?
How does CSF transport out of the brain and into the spinal cord region?
What is the cerebral aqueduct?
This is the type of specialized neural cell that forms the myelin sheaths surrounding a neuron's axon.
What are Schwann cells?
This is the generalized region(s) of the brain that are myelinated and responsible for connecting cognitive regions of the brain together.
What is (myelinated) white matter?
This is the resting state and charge of a neuron when it is not activated?
What is -70 mV?
