- ability to handle stress
-
postcentral gyrus
- parietal lobe (primary somatosensory cortex: sense of touch)
- there is a map of sensory space called sensory homunculus in this area
-
central sulcus
- divides the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe,
- divides the primary motor cortex (front), with the primary somatosensory cortex (back)
-
nativist theory of language
humans are biologically predisposed to acquire and understand language
-
learning/behaviorist theory of language
- role of environment (classical, operant conditioning, and imitation)
- classical: association of dog with image; reflexive responses are brought under control by events that precede response
- operant conditioning: parents reinforce language learning like grammar. Voluntary responses come to be controlled by their consequences
-
interactionist theory of language
- language from interaction of biological, cognitive, and environmental influences
- based on social interaction between developing child and more linguistically knowledgeable adult
-
fundamental attrition error
tendency to place undue emphasis on internal characteristics (personality) rather than external factors
-
ethnocentrism
belief in superiority of one's ethnic group
-
central processing route
- person persuaded by content of message
- receiver has motivation and ability to think about topic (motivation means it needs to be relevant, receiver cannot be distracted or not understand it)
-
peripheral processing route
use other signs to be persuaded like when a celebrity is speaking, etc
-
schizophrenic thought insertion
other people insert thoughts into his head against his will
-
questions with cultural sensitivity
- mental health
- not objective
- ambiguous
-
verbal communication
spoken or written has linguistic conventions
-
nonverbal communication
intonation, tone, rate of speech
-
-
-
trigonal pyramidal
sp3 with one lone pair
-
diamagnetic
all electrons are spin paired
-
lewis acid
- accepts electron pair
- greater charge/radius ratio, means more positive charge, which means better electron acceptor
-
what method to use to separate compounds with different solubilities
recrystallization
-
what method to use to separate compounds based on mass and density?
centrifugation
-
what method to use to separate enantiomers
use one enantiomer of another compound, react with mixture to form diastereomers, which can be differentiated with HPLC
-
sound waves are what kind of waves
- longitudinal
- cannot travel in vaccum
-
sphingolipds
composed of sphingosine backbone, found in brain tissues in cell membranes
-
reaction occurs stereospecifically
means that the trans and cis form of molecule will react differently with incoming molecule
-
-
-
-
-
what does sound intensity depend on?
distance from source and amplitude of wave
-
when is membrane potential established
when there is a voltage difference between interior and exterior of cell
-
P, F, A relationship
P=F/A
-
positron emission
positron (0 weight, 1 charge)
-
-
how does phosphodiester bonds form
5' of a new nucleotide attaches to the 3' OH of elongating DNA
-
which carbons in glucose are chiral
3-5 C
-
transient
lasting for a short time
-
polemic
type of speech or writing that uses earnest, direct approach to attack someone or something
-
gap junctions
permits the flow of small molecules and ions from cell to cell (esp. in heart)
-
desmosomes
cell to cell adhesion
-
tight junctions
prevent ions and molecules form passing between epithelial cells
-
difference between absolute and relative refractory period
- absolute is when one action potential has fired and another action potential cannot fire (depolarization), b/c all the Na channels are closed. Na must open for AP to fire
- relative is after absolute refractory when another AP can be fired if it has a larger than threshold stimulus (AP cannot be caused by normal stimulus b/c not enough voltage gated sodium channels have recovered
-
action potential process
- -70 mV is resting potential
- -55 mV is threshold
- after threshold reached, more Na channels open (30mV)
- -90 hyper polarization prevents neurons from receiving another stimulus that goes in opposite direction
- after hyper polarization, Na+/K+ pump brings membrane back to its resting state
-
acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate forms
citrate
-
initial stages of embryogenesis
morula, blastula, gastrula
-
ATP synthesis is coupled to what kind of reactions
highly exothermic, large neg value 40kJ/mol
-
what does the liver do
- glycogen synthesis and storage
- gluconeogenesis (generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates)
- heme breakdown forms bilirubin (jaundice if not rid of)
- cholesterole regulation and synthesis
- production of bile (break down fat, help digest) to be stored and concentrated by gall bladder
-
what organ execrates urea
- kidney
- means of eliminating waste (mesoderm)
-

-
cocci, bacilli, spirilli
- cocci: circular shaped
- bacilli: rod shaped
- spirilli: spiral
-
self-determination theory
- motivation: human inherent tendency to be healthy
- maybe the activity builds competence, relatedness or autonomy
-
social facilitation
tendency for people to perform differently in the presence of others
-
foot in the door phenomenon
- getting a person to agree to a large request by first getting them to agree to a modest request
- change in behavior causing a change in attitude
-
situational vs. dispositional attribution
- situational: analyze a person's actions based on the situation that they are in (he is stealing candy b/c his family is poor)
- dispositional: his behavior reflects his internal dispositions, he is an asshole that's why he cuts me off
-

people put in less effort when they are part of a group
-
social action
- people avoids leaving candy unattended after study
- act that takes into account the actions and reactions of individuals
