PSYCH

recieve messages from neurons and send to cell body

holds & produces the energy to fuel nueron activity

long fibers carring message to dendrite of next neuron

white fatty acid that insulates & protects

space between 2 neurons

send the message through synapse to the dendrites

where info comes from

chemical messages

send messages althrough our nerves

brain and spinal cord controls all movment

somatic and autonomic nervous system

controls voluntary muscles

controls invoultary muscles

expands energy

conserves energy

nerves that run up and down the length of the back and transmit most maessages between the body and brain

-located at the rear base
-a part of the brain located at the rear base of the skill that is involved in the basic processes of life
EX: waking up

-located above the pons
-a small part of the brain above above the pons that integrates sensory information and relays it upward
Ex: sense sensory

-the rest of the brain that covers the central core
-a part of the brain that covers the brains central core consists of left and right hemispheres which are connected by a wide band of fibers the corpus callosum

the differnt regions into which the cerebral cortex is divided
Ex: occipatal lobe- vision

-measures brain activity
-a machine used to record the electrical activity of large portions of the brain
Ex: activity of neuron when sleeping

-shows brain stucture
-X-ray of brian
-an imaging technique used to study the brain to pinpoint injury and brian deterioration
Ex: when you get hit by a football

-patients drink radio active glucose and image shoes areas of brain activity
-an imaging technique used to see which brain areas are bieng activated while performing tasks
Ex: when speaking or thinking

An imaging technique used to study brain structure and activity
Ex: to view the brain

a chemical comunnication system using horomones by which messages are sent through the bloodstream
Ex: horomones/ bloodstream body fluids

chemical substances that carry messages through the body in blood
Ex: pituitary gland adrenal medulla

the center control of the endocrine system that secretes a large number of hormones
Ex: master gland/ Growth
