reflexes (part of the inner brain) Question: NeuronAnswer: cell that communicates information throughout the brain (like a vehicle) Question: Answer: part of the which contains the nucleus and other parts of the cell needed to sustain life (cell body) Question: Answer: parts of the neuron that are branch-like that receive information from other neurons Question: AxonAnswer: part of the neuron that information away to other neurons (ends of axons have terminal buttons) Question: SheathAnswer: covering around the axon that helps information travel faster Question: Terminal Answer: parts of the neurons that are located at the end of the axon that neurotransmitters Question: Vesicles Answer: structures that contain the neurotransmitter (are inside the buttons) Question: SynapseAnswer: space between two neurons where neurotransmitters are Question: NeurotransmittersAnswer: brain that communicates information throughout the brain and body Question: Neurons Send ...Answer: electrochemically (chemicals cause and signal) Question: Answer: chemicals with charges Question: The Of A Cell Is...Answer: negative compared to its Question: Semi-Permeable Answer: that surrounds neurons that allows some ions to pass through and blocks others Question: Action Answer: occurs when a sends information down an axon (neuron firing) Question: Answer: amount of neurotransmitters that must be in order for the neuron to fire (if threshold is not met, neurons will not fire) Question: ReuptakeAnswer: when the are reabsorbed by the sending neuron Question: Refractory Answer: neuron needs a resting period before it can fire Question: Answer: a protein molecule embedded within the membrane of a dendrite that receives chemical signals from outside the cell (determines or not the chemical can go into the receiving cell) Question: All Or None Answer: the neuron either doesn't reach the threshold, or a full action potential is Question: AfferentAnswer: type of neuron that takes information from the to the brain (sensory neurons) Question: Answer: type of neuron that takes information from the to the rest of the body (motor neurons) Question: InterneuronsAnswer: type of that is located between sensory and motor neurons to help transform neurons from afferent to efferent and vice versa Question: Answer: increase the firing and of neurons Question: InhibitoryAnswer: decrease the and release of neurons Question: DopamineAnswer: neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and system, and also helps regulate and control movement and emotional responses (inhibitory) Question: Low May Cause...Answer: 's disease Question: High May Cause...Answer: schizophrenia Question: Answer: neurotransmitter involved with movement and (exictatory) Question: Low May Cause...Answer: Alzheimer's disease and Question: Botox ...Answer: Question: Answer: that brings our nervous system into high alert and gives us energy (exictatory) Question: Answer: neurotransmitter

neurotransmitter important in producing sleep and reducing anxiety (important inhibitory ) Question: Answer: neurotransmitter important in learning and (exictatory) Question: Brain Answer: the ability of neural networks to change through growth and Question: SystemAnswer: glands and organs that make hormones and release them directly into the blood so they can to tissues and organs all over the body Question: Adrenal Answer: produce hormones that help your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions Question: Sex Answer: for pregnancy, puberty, menstruation, menopause, sex drive, sperm production and more Question: GenesAnswer: basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child, made up of of DNA Question: How Genes Affect Answer: molecular products that build and govern the functioning of the brain through which behavior is expressed Question: Answer: a molecule that contains the genetic code that is to every individual Question: Answer: structure found inside the nucleus of a cell, made up of proteins and DNA organized into Question: Thomas Bouchard's Twin Answer: studied 100+ twins that were raised separately (found that they had similar personalities, interests and attitudes, proving that genetics do factor into behavior) Question: 's SyndromeAnswer: only one X chromosome (can cause shortness, webbed necks, and differences in physical sexual ) Question: 's SyndromeAnswer: biological males have an extra X chromosome, XXY pattern, have both male and female features/genitalia (usually minimal sexual development
