Parts of a Neuron
Branchlike parts of a neuron that are specialized to receive information.
What are dendrites
Consists of the brain and spinal cord.
What is Central Nervous System
An inhibitory neurotransmitter that controls mood, behavior, and sleep.
What is Serotonin.
Minimum voltage required to trigger an action potential
Threshold
Type of study that is an in-depth study of a person, group, or event.
Case Study
A threadlike extension of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
What is axon
The sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body.
What is Peripheral Nervous System
A neurotransmitter associated with the brain's pleasure and reward system.
What is Dopamine
The time between when a neuron fires and when it can carry a new electrical signal.
Refractory Period
This is what is manipulated in an experiment and can affect the dependent variable.
Independent Variable.
Protective covering on axon.
What is myelin sheath
Send messages to and from the brain.
What are Neurons
A major inhibitory neurotransmitter that is responsible for quieting the body.
What is GABA
All-or-None Response
Find the Mean of the data set:
1, 3, 6, 3, 8, 3
4
The name of the gap that action potentials have to cross as they move from an axon to a dendrite.
What is the Synapse
The name of the body's 'slow' chemical communication system. Made up of Hormones, Adrenal Glands, and the Pituitary Gland.
What is the Endocrine System
A neurotransmitter that can be released through exercising, essential oils, and even eating dark chocolate.
What are Endorphins
The electrical signal that travels down the axon.
Action Potential

How many types of neurons are there? What are they called?
What is three. Interneurons, Motor Neurons, and Sensory Neurons
What is the body's electrochemical communication system called?
What is the Nervous System
A neurotransmitter that influences our fight or flight responses. Also known as noradrenaline.
What is Norepinephrine
The two types of neural signals
