100
Main part of the neuron that provides the energy for the cell.
What is the cell body
100
This controls balanace, coordination & body movements; also known as the "little brain"
What is cerebellum
100
what are the names of the lobes
What is frontal, occipital, parietal, temporal
100
chemicals that transmit information from one neuron to another
What is neurotransmitters
100
what is known as the "bark of the tree"- outer most layer of the brain
What is cerebral cortex
200
this is the main nerve cell, the basic building block of sending and recieving messeges.
What is a neuron
200

Responsible for voluntary movement of skeletal muscles

What is motor cortex

200
part of the cerebrum that is associated with motor movement and personality
What is frontal lobe
200
neurotransimitter that is involved in emotional arousal and sleep
What is serotonin
200
the fiber that connects the two hemispheres ( right & left)
What is corpus callosum
300
the junction between two neurons
What is synapse
300

Receives information about smells from the nose and sends it to the brain

What is olfactory bulbs

300
part of the cerebrum that recieves and interprets visual information
What is occipital lobe
300
this neurotransmitter is called the "runner's high" was used in the movie Patch Adams
What is endorphins
300
this consist of the brain and spinal cord; it also works with the peripheral nervous system
What is central nervous system
400
long nerve fiber that conducts away from the cell body of the neuron
What is axon
400
acts as the control center for recognition of hunger, thirst, fatigue, body temperature, & anger
What is hypothalamus
400
part of cerebrum that processes auditory information and is both hemispheres inside the temples of the head
What is temporal lobe
400
this neurotransmitter is involved in motor behavior- parkinsons disease has a low level of this which causes tremors and shakes. Schizophrenia patients may have excessive levels.
What is dopamine
400
Rise and Shine; controls the counsciousness
What is RAS or reticular activating system (formation)
500
short fibers that branch out from the cell body and pick up incoming messages
What is dendrites
500

Responsible for conscious perception of touch, pressure, vibration, pain, temperature, and taste 

What is sensory cortex

500
part of the cerebrum that registers sensory inputs
What is parietal lobe
500
the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is common in elderly people which causes them to lose their memory and involve this disease.
What is Alzheimer's
500
an area in the brain that has the ability to make speech.
What is broca's area
