Scenarios
100

Controls our entire body and everything we do

Nervous System
100

This hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body and is responsible for creative thinking, art, rhythm, emotions, non-verbal cues, and imagination

Right hemisphere

100

The basic units of the nervous system

neurons
100

Changes in the environment

stimuli

100

If someone touched a porcupine and immediately yanked their hand back, which type of neuron received the signal to signal the body to react?

Motor neuron
200

The "highway" to and from the brain

Spinal cord 

200
Second largest organ in the Central Nervous Nervous System
What is the Spinal Cord
200

Two types of neurons

sensory and motor neurons

200

Sense that helps you touch your finger to your nose with your eyes closed

Proprioception
200
You are at the store deciding which jacket colour you like the best. Which lobe is helping you process the colour of the jacket and which one is helping you make the decision without impulsively picking one?
Occipital lobe and frontal lobe
300
This is made up of the brain and spinal cord and is responsible for processing and creation of memories 

Central Nervous System

300
What lobe of the cerebrum is processing the information when you touch a hot stove 

Parietal

300

receive sensory information from outside stimuli and carry information towards the brain

 Sensory Neurons

300

Ms. Sull can tell when her Starbucks coffee is burnt because of these receptors

Chemoreceptors 

300
The sense of touch is part of which division of the nervous system
What is PNS
400

Made up of nerves that connect CNS to rest of the body and sends messages from body to spinal cord and/or brain and back

Peripheral Nervous System
400

Which cerebral lobe would be at work when your teacher is telling you a story at school?

temporal

400

gaps between neurons where a neuron contacts another cell to allow for chemical communication

synapse

400

When you are sick, tired, or have an infection, your body is responding to this type of stimulus

Internal

400
A bruise to the brain
What is a Concussion
500

Bob notices his heart beat is a little faster than normal as he responds to an emergency. Which section of his peripheral nervous system and autonomic nervous system is responsible for this?

Autonomic nervous system and sympathetic nervous system

500
If this part of your brain was damaged, it would be hard to balance and difficult to walk or move 

cerebellum

500

When neurons communicate frequently, these get stronger and make it easier to send signals.

synapses 

500
Joe grabbed a the hot handle of a pot and yanked his hand back. What was the stimulus in this situation and what receptor received this information?

Hot handle of pot and thermoreceptor

500
Ms. Sull is using her left hand to write. Which hemisphere of her brain is responsible for her being able to write left handed?

Right hemisphere
