Lobes of Brain
This lobe of the brain processes visual stimuli
This part of the neuron contains the nucleus and other organelles
Cell body
This general branch of the peripheral nervous system controls involuntary functions
Autonomic Nervous System
These molecules excite, inhibit, or regulate communication between neurons
Neurotransmitters
This cell is used to communicate messages
Neuron
This lobe of the brain processes auditory stimuli
Temporal Lobe
This part of the neuron carries an impulse to the cell body
Dendrites
This general branch of the peripheral nervous system controls voluntary functions such as controlling skeletal muscles
Somatic Nervous System
List three neurotransmitters
GABA, Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Glutamate, Dopamine, Acetylcholine
What branch of the peripheral nervous system needs to be activated for you to feel calm and relaxed
This lobe of the brain processes stimuli dealing with touch, temperature, and pressure
Parietal Lobe
This part of the neuron sends an impulse away from the cell body
Axon
This smaller branch of the autonomic nervous system would respond to a startling situation
Sympathetic nervous system
The movement of neurotransmitters from the axon terminal of a neuron to the dendrites of another neuron occurs in this gap
Synapse
This is the myelin producing cell in for neurons in the peripheral nervous system
This lobe controls voluntary skeletal muscle movement
Frontal Lobe
The insulating layer that covers the axon
Myelin or Myelin Sheath
This smaller branch of the autonomic nervous system would be activated during a relaxing situation
Parasympathetic nervous system
Axon Terminals
This is the type of movement that impulses have along an axon
Saltatory conduction
This lobe of the brain contains Broca's area
Frontal Lobe
The gaps between myelin on the axon
Nodes of Ranvier
This branch of the peripheral nervous system takes in stimuli
Sensory or afferent
This neurotransmitter deals with stress and alertness. A deficiency in this neurotransmitter can be associated with depression. An excess can be associated with mania.
Norepinephrine
These are the myelin producing cells for neurons in the central nervous system
Oligodendrocytes
