Vitals
What vital is described:
When the heart pumps, the arteries expand and contract as blood is pushed through.
Pulse/Heart Rate
What variable stays the same, and used to compare to other variables?
Control Variable
This is the point where the spinal cord connects with the brain. This region takes in, sends out, and coordinates all the brains messages. It controls the bodies vital functions, such as heartbeat, breathing, swelling, and digestion.
Brain Stem
What is another name for a neuron?
Nerve Cell
What are signs of disease or injury?
Symptoms
What Vital is being described below:
The force of circulating blood on the walls of the arteries. It is measured using two numbers, the systolic (higher number) and diastolic (lower number) pressures
Blood Pressure
An automobile manufacturer wants to know whether using extra bright brake lights will minimize the time required for a driver to realize that the car in front of them is stopping and to hit the brakes. The manufacturer tested 50 cars with very bright brake lights and 50 cars with normal brake lights and recorded the time required for the driver of the following car to hit the brakes after the brake lights were lit.
What is the Independent Variable?
Extra Bright Brake Lights
What region of the brain is responsible for the voluntary control of your skeletal muscles, the muscles we can move and control?
The Motor Cortex
There are two types of neurons, and they have two different jobs. What are the two types of neurons?
Sensory and Motor Neurons
What are tiny infectious agents that can only multiply when they are inside a host, the living cells of plants, animals, or bacteria?
Virus
What vital is being described below:
The number of breaths a person takes per minute.
Respiration Rate

The manufacturer tested 50 cars with very bright brake lights and 50 cars with normal brake lights and recorded the time required for the driver of the following car to hit the brakes after the brake lights were lit.
What is the dependent variable?
The time it took drivers to hit the brakes
What region of the brain is responsible for balance, movement, and coordination?
What part of the neuron carries the signal the length of the neuron to the next neuron?
Axon
What are single-celled organisms that do not rely on a host?
Bacteria
What vital signs is being described below:
This is a measure of how well your body can make and get rid of heat.
Body Temperature
What variable gets manipulated in the experiment and would be on the x-axis?
Independent Variable
What is the broad band of nerve fibers that connect the left and the right cerebral hemispheres called?
Corpus Callosum
What part of a neuron receives the signal from another neuron?
Dendrites
What are organisms such as yeasts or molds that reproduce quickly in moist, humid environments?
Fungi
A patients pulse was 107 beats per minutes, would this be high, low, or average?
What variable is the Responding (what is getting measured) variable and would be on the Y-Axis?
Dependent Variable
This internal brain region carries messages from the sensory organs, like the eyes, ears, nose, and fingers, to the cerebrum.
The Thalamus
What part of the neuron houses the nucleus or 'the brain' of the nerve cell?
Cell Body
What are microscopic organisms such as a bacterium, virus, or fungus?
