What does the CNS stand for?
Central Nervous System
100
What does the PNS stand for?
Peripheral Nervous System
100
What does the Autonomic Nervous System do?
Controls involuntary responses. Keeps the body at base functioning
100
Pronounce Electroencephelogram
Electro - insefo - logram
100
What are the three main sections of the brain?
Midbrain, hindbrain, forebrain
200
What is the CNS made up of?
The brain and spinal cord
200
What neurons are present in the PNS
Motor neurons and sensory neurons
200
What are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system?
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
200
What neuroimaging technology is this?
fMRI
200
Which hemisphere is mainly responsible for language processing and production
The left hemisphere
300
What is the main function of the CNS
The CNS receives, processes, and responds to sensory information
300
What does the somatic nervous system control?
Voluntary movement
300
What increases during sympathetic activation?
Energy, heart rate, pupil dilation
300
What neuroimaging technique is this? 
PET scan
300
Describe the difference between Broca's area and Wernicke's area
Broca's area is responsible for producing speech, Wernicke's helps understand speech
400
Name 3 characteristics of cerebrospinal fluid
Clear, colourless fluid
Protects the brain and spinal cord
Provides nutrients and removes waste
400
What is the overall function of the PNS?
It carries information to and from the CNS
400
What increases during parasympathetic activation?
Digestion
400
Does an MRI look at the structure or function of the brain?
Structure
400
What are some characteristics of Broca's aphasia?
•Speech is non-fluent, slow, effortful, long pauses (broken)
•Speech tends to contain nouns and verbs but lacks other words that give grammar or function.
•Difficulty with writing
500
What is the function of neurons?
Send signals and information throughout the body and brain
500
Explain the pathway for sensory and motor neurons
Sensory neurons take information from receptors to the CNS. Motor neurons take information from the CNS to effectors
500
When might the parasympathetic nervous system activate?
To calm and relax you after the fight, flight or freeze response, when we are in calm or ordinary settings
500
What would be the appropriate neuroimaging technique for studying sleep in a patient?
EEG (Electroencephalogram)
500
What are some characteristics of Wernicke's aphasia?
•Speech is fluent but does not make sense.
•Difficulty understanding both spoken and written language
Difficulty producing language that makes sense
