What is a cell in the nervous system?
Electricity that starts in the dendrites and travels to the axon terminals
What is an Action Potential?
It speeds up the electricity that travels down the axon.
What is mylien sheath?
A neuron that causes an effector response.
What is a motor neuron?
Neurons that receive the stimulus
What is a sensory neuron?
It is in the middle of the cell body and contains DNA
What is a nucleus?
They are located inside of the axon terminals and contain neurotransmitters
What are vesicals
Neurotransmitters are released into this space before they attached to receptors on another neuron.
What is a synapse?
A variable
A variable that the researcher manipulates
What is an independent variable
A variable that responds to the independent variable
What is a dependent variable?
Chemicals that travel between the synapse.
What is a neurotransmitter?
Contains all of the neurons in the body?
What is the nervous system?
Contains the neurons that travel to the arms and legs
What is the PNS?
Contains the neurons inside of the brain and spinal cord?
What is the CNS?
Is the neurotransmitter responsible for making a person feel euphoric?
What are endorphins?
This neurotransmitter is responsible for pleasure.
What is dopamine?
This neurotransmitter is responsible for concentration
What is noradrenaline?
This neurotransmitter is responsible for learning
What is acetylcholine?
This neurotransmitter is responsible for memory
What is glutamate?
When an action potential starts in the dendrites, travels through the cell body, down the axon and to the axon terminal releasing neurotransmitters from vesicles which then cross the synapse and bind to receptors on the post synaptic neuron, causing an action potential to start in the post synaptic neuron.
What is neurotransmission?
Electrical messages cannot pass through this space?
The synapse
Cannot travel down an axon
Nothing
