Parts of the Brain | Parts of a neuron | The effects of the senses, alcohol, and drugs on the brain | Nerve Impulse Pathway | Nervous System's Systems |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is the brainstem?
The part of the brain that lies in between the cerebellum and the spinal cord.
|
What is a dendrite?
This is the first part that responds to the initial stimulus and develops a nerve impulse.
|
What is vision?
This is the most dominant of the 5 major senses.
|
What is a sensory neuron?
When you taste a lemon, this is the type of neuron that creates the nerve impulse.
|
What is homeostasis?
This is the main goal of the nervous system that keeps the body functioning normally.
|
What is the cerebellum?
The part of the brain responsible for balance.
|
What is a synapse?
The gap that connects the axon tips to the next structure.
|
What is smell?
This was the stimulus in the lab that included the jar of vinegar.
|
What is a motor neuron?
After passing this neuron, the nerve impulse is often sent to the muscles for movement.
|
What is the central nervous system?
The brain and the spinal cord are the two main parts of this system?
|
What is the cerebrum.
The part of the brain that controls the 5 senses and many skeletal muscles.
|
What is the axon.
Unlike a dendrite, there is only one of these in a neuron.
|
What is withdrawl?
This is the term for the flu-like reaction that individuals face when trying to quit using drugs.
|
What is an interneuron?
This neuron connects nerve impulses from one neuron to another.
|
What is the autonomic nervous system?
This system controls functions such as digestions and your heart beating.
|
What is the spinal cord?
The part of the nervous system that connects the brain to the nerves that run throughout your entire body.
|
What is cell body.
This contains the nucleus and is the 2nd part of a neuron that a nerve impulse goes through.
|
What is slows down?
A nerve impulse does this when a person consumes too much alcohol.
|
What is it would not reach the muscles?
A nerve impulse is travelling through a motor neuron, but the neuron's axon tips are damaged in an accident, this is what would result to the nerve impulse.
|
What is the somatic nervous system?
This system controls function such as your leg kicking a soccer ball.
|
What is the brainstem?
The part of the brain that controls digestion.
|
What is the axon tips.
This part branches off the axon and sends the nerve impulse out to other structures.
|
What is continually active?
A nerve impulse does this when a person uses marijuana.
|
What is an interneuron?
When you only think of a response without acting on it, the nerve impulse is stopped at this neuron.
|
What is the peripheral nervous system?
This system sends nerves out from the spinal cord to all other parts of the body.
