PSYCHO TEST 3A,3B,3C

• (BEHAVIOR &BIOLOGY)
• A branch of psych concerened w/ links b/w bio and behavior.

A nerve cell the basic building block of the nervous system

• (SRBSC)
• Neurons that carry outgoing information from the sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord

• (MOTOR MUSCLES & GLANDS)
• Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands

• (INTERNEURONS INTERNALLY INTERVENE SA/ME)
• Neurons within the brain and spinal cord that communicate internally and intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs

The bushy branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages and conduct impulses toward the cell body

The extension of a neuron ending branching terminal fibers through which messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands

• (SHEATHS COVER YOU)
• A layer of fatty tissue segmentally encasing the fibers of many neurons; enables vastly greater transmission speed of neural impulses hops from one node to the next

The level of stimulation requires to trigger a neural impulse

The junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron. The tiny gap at this junction is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft

Chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons. They travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the reciving neuron, thereby influencing whether that neuron will generate a neural impulse

• (REUPTAKE REABSORBS)
• A neurotransmitters reabsorption by the sending neuron

Morphine within natural opiate like neurotransmitter’s linked to pain control and to pleasure

• (NERVOUS MAKES ME A SPEEDY TALKER)
• the body’s speedy electrochemical communication net-work consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous system

The brain and spinal cord

The sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body

Bundled axons that form neural cables connecting the central nervous system with muscles, glands and sense organs

The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body’s skeletal muscles also called the skeletal nervous system

The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs such a as the heart its sympathetic division arouses its parasympathetic division calms

The division of the automatic nervous system that arouses the body mobilizing its energy in stressful situations

The division of the body conserving its energy

A simple automatic response to a sensory stimulus such as the knee jerk response

Thebody’s slow chemical commination system a set of glands that secrete hormonesinto the bloodstream

Chemical messengers that are manufactures by the endocrine glands travel through the bloodstream and affect other tissue

Pair of endocrine glands that sit just above the kidneys and secrete hormones that help arouse the body in times of stress

The endocrine systems most influential gland. Under the influence of the hypothalamus, the pituitary regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands

Tissue destruction; a brain lesion is a natuarally or experimentally caused destruction of brain tissue

Records waves of electrical activityt that sweep across the brains surface hese waves are measured by electrodes placed on the scalp

series of x-ray photos taken from different angles and comined by computer into a composite representation of a slice through the body

a visual display of brain activity that detects where a radioactive form of glucose goes while the brain preforms a given task

a echnique that uses magnetic fields and radiowaves to produce computer genertated images of soft tissue

• Central core of brain
• Responsible for automatic suurvival functions
• oldest region

• Base of brainstem
• controls heart breat & breathing
• Pons coordinate the movement

• Nerve metwork in brainstorm
• Conrtols arousal

• Brains sensory switchboard
• Located at the top of the brainstem

• "little brain"
• Located at read of the brainstem
• Processes sensory input & coordinating movement, output, & balance
• (DAVID BECKHAM MAKING THE GOAL)

• located below the cerbral hemisphere
• assocated w/ emotions and drives
• Fear & anger
• Food & Sex

• limabean shaped(2)
• linked to emotions
• (AMY IS AGGRESIVE)

• Located below the thalmus
• eating, drinking, bad temp helps goven edrcine system via pituatiary gland is linked to emotion and reward
• (THALMUS GETS HY TO BE HAPPY)

• The bodys ultimate control & INFO prosccesing center
• Perciveing, thinking, speaking

cell in nervous system that supports nourish & protects neurons

• Just behind the forhead
• speaking & muscle movement & in making plans & judgment

• located on top part of the head tword the rear
• recieves sensory input for touch & body post

• lies in the back of head
• recieves INFO from visual areas

• lies above ears includes audiotry areas
• Recieves INFO from oppsite ears

• Its in the rear of frontal lobes
• Controls voulantary movement

• Located in front of parietal Lobes
• Registers & proecesses bad touch & movement ssensation

• areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary mator or sensory functions
• Remebering, thining, & speaking

• imparment of language/ expression
• left frontal lobe

Brains ability to change especially during childhood by recognizing after damage or by buliding new pathways based on experience

The formation of a new neuron that form everyday

The large nad of neural fibers connnecting the 2 brains hemisphere & carrying messages between them

condition after surgery isolates brains 2 hemispheres

• interdisplinary study of the brain activity linked with cognition
• INCLUDING
• perception
