Brain Parts
Controls vital reflexes.Regulation of breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
What is Medulla?
Lobe at the front of cerebrum.mostly plan actions and show social and emotional behavior.Gives one self-awareness.
What is the Frontal Lobe?
Receive messages from other neurons.
What are Dendrites?
Computed tomography scan.Series of x-rays taken from different angles.
What is CAT/CT Scan?
Neurotransmitters carry an ___________ ______ across the synapse.
What is Electrical Charge?
The brain can repair itself and create/repair neural pathways that have been damaged, the brain is not set in stone.
What is Brain Plasticity?
Lobe at the upper middle of the cerebrum.Contains that area where feeling sensations are processed.
What is the Parietal Lobe?
Sends messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons.
What is an Axon?
Positron emission tomography.Shows brain activity using radioactive glucose.
What is Pet Scan?
Voluntary movement, learning, attention, emotion.
What is Dopamine?
Subcortial gray matter núcleo.Processing link between thalamus and motor cortex.Initiation and direction or voluntary movement.
What is Basal Ganglia?
Lobe at the lower sides of the cerebrum.Contains areas important to hearing and understanding speech.
What is the Temporal Lobe?
Is in charge of the neurons activities.
What is a Cell Body?
Looks like a seismograph.Amplified recording of waves of electrical activity the brain gives off.Measured by putting electrodes on scalp.
What is EEG (electroencephalogram)?
pleasurable sensations/control of pain lowered levels resulting from opiate addiction
What are Endorphins?
Relays information between the cerebrum and the cerebellum, controls arousal and regulates respiration.
What are Pons?
Lobe at the back of cerebrum.Contains areas important to vision.
What is the Occipital Lobe?
Covers a on to protect it and help messages travel faster and easier.
What is the Myelin Sheath?
Magnetic resonance imaging.Uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create images showing different types of soft-tissue.
What is MRI?
Mood,hunger,sleep,dreaming,arousal,pain,aggression,sexual behavior, Emotional State.
What is Serotonin?
olfactory path ways, biológico rhythms, hypothalamus.
What is the Limbic System?
Small strip of parietal lobe that controls sensation of touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
What is the Sensory Cortex?
The soace between the dendrites of one neurons and axon of another neuron.
What is Synapse?
Shows blood flow in the brain while it’s working.
What is fMRI?
Enables muscle action (movement) and is used by different neurons.
What is Acetylcholine?
