100
The Limbic System is located here, which plays a role in emotional changes and control and controls survival behavior
What is the cerebrum?
100

It connects the brain to the spinal cord.

What is the medulla oblongata?

100
It includes the brain and spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system?
100
They are the bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that receive information.
What are dendrites?
100
The sense of touch is part of this division of the nervous system. 
What is the peripheral nervous system (PNS)? 
200
It stores information for motor skills such as maintaining balance while batting a ball.
What is the cerebellum?
200
It works with the medulla to control breathing.
What is the pons?
200

They are the three main types of neurons.

What are sensory, motor and interneurons?

200
The extension of the neuron through which messages are sent to other neurons.
What is the axon of a neuron?
200
Vision area of the brain. 
What is the occipital lobe? 
300
It processes information between the spinal cord and the cerebrum or cerebellum.
What is the Brain Stem?
300
Also known as the reptilian brain. 
What is the brain stem?
300

The component of the nervous system that acts like a highway. 

What is the spinal cord?
300
It is the tiny space between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron.
What is the synapse?
300
Lobe of the brain that deals with executive functions, thinking, planning, emotions, behaviour, problem solving and personality. 
What is the frontal lobe? 
400
Controls food and drink intake, as well as the release of hormones.
What is the Hypothalamus?
400

They are chemical messengers that relay information.

What are neurotransmitters?
400

The nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord. 

What is the peripheral nervous system?

400
It starts at the dendrites, goes inward towards the cell body and travels down the axon towards the axon terminals.
What is a nerve impulse?
400
Lobes of the brain that deals with memory, understanding and language. 
What is the temporal lobe? 
500
Relays motor and sensory information to the cerebral cortex.
What is the thalamus?
500

The key difference between a cell and a neuron? 

What is: the neurons are a special type of cells that are made to transmit messages throughout the body?

500

An action that is performed as a response to a stimulus and without conscious thought.

What is a reflex?
500
It allows for rapid movement of electricity down the axon.
What is the myelin sheath?
500

It functions in processing sensory information regarding the location of parts of the body as well as interpreting visual information and processing language and mathematics.

What is the parietal lobe?
