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
100
What is the brainstem?
The part of the brain that lies in between the cerebellum and the spinal cord.
100
What is a dendrite?
This is the first part that responds to the initial stimulus and develops a nerve impulse.
100
What is vision?
This is the most dominant of the 5 major senses.
100
What is a sensory neuron?
When you taste a lemon, this is the type of neuron that creates the nerve impulse.
100
What is homeostasis?
This is the main goal of the nervous system that keeps the body functioning normally.
200
What is the cerebellum?
The part of the brain responsible for balance.
200
What is a synapse?
The gap that connects the axon tips to the next structure.
200
What is smell?
This was the stimulus in the lab that included the jar of vinegar.
200
What is a motor neuron?
After passing this neuron, the nerve impulse is often sent to the muscles for movement.
200
What is the central nervous system?
The brain and the spinal cord are the two main parts of this system?
300
What is the cerebrum.
The part of the brain that controls the 5 senses and many skeletal muscles.
300
What is the axon.
Unlike a dendrite, there is only one of these in a neuron.
300
What is withdrawl?
This is the term for the flu-like reaction that individuals face when trying to quit using drugs.
300
What is an interneuron?
This neuron connects nerve impulses from one neuron to another.
300
What is the autonomic nervous system?
This system controls functions such as digestions and your heart beating.
400
What is the spinal cord?
The part of the nervous system that connects the brain to the nerves that run throughout your entire body.
400
What is cell body.
This contains the nucleus and is the 2nd part of a neuron that a nerve impulse goes through.
400
What is slows down?
A nerve impulse does this when a person consumes too much alcohol.
400
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.
400
What is the somatic nervous system?
This system controls function such as your leg kicking a soccer ball.
500
What is the brainstem?
The part of the brain that controls digestion.
500
What is the axon tips.
This part branches off the axon and sends the nerve impulse out to other structures.
500
What is continually active?
A nerve impulse does this when a person uses marijuana.
500
What is an interneuron?
When you only think of a response without acting on it, the nerve impulse is stopped at this neuron.
500
What is the peripheral nervous system?
This system sends nerves out from the spinal cord to all other parts of the body.
