What is anatomy?

The study of the structures of our bodies

100

Why is lab safety important?

It helps us stay safe and prevent accidents and injuries

100

What is the name of the chemical signals and messages neurons send to the brain?

Neurotransmitters

100

What are enzymes?

Proteins made by our cells

200

What part of the circulatory system carries blood towards the heart?

Veins

200

What three pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) do we wear in the lab?

Lab coats, gloves, and safety goggles

200

What are the three main parts of a neuron?

Dendrite, axon, and cell body

200

What important role do enzymes play in our bodies?

They act as catalysts

300

What are the three parts of the respiratory system?

Lungs, airway, and diaphragm

300

When should you wear safety glasses in the lab?

Always

300

Which part of the neuron receives signals and which part releases signals?

The dendrite receives signals and the axon terminal releases signals

300

What is a catalyst?

A catalyst is a compound that helps to get a reaction started and makes it go faster

400

What are the four chambers of the heart?

Right ventricle, right atrium, left ventricle, and left atrium

400

Name two of the rules for being safe in the lab.

No food or drink, wear PPE, listen to instructions, keep your space clean

400

Name three of the five neurotransmitters that we talked about.

Dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, glutamate, and GABA

400

What enzyme did we look at in our experiment?

Catalase

500

What are the three steps for breathing?

Step 1: the diaphragm moves down and air comes into the airway and lungs where oxygen moves to your blood

Step 2: carbon dioxide moves from your blood into the lungs and is exhaled

Step 3: the diaphragm relaxes

500

If an accident happens in the lab, what is the first thing you should do?

Notify the instructor

500

What do inhibitory neurons do?

They stop neurotransmitters from being released

500

What are the three steps for how an enzyme works?

Step 1: the substrate binds to the active site

Step 2: the reaction takes place

Step 3: the products are released from the active site
