AP Psych Unit Three
2023- 2024, Biology and Basis of Behaviors
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| MS | attack on myelon sheath |
| Gilil Cells | supports, nurish and protects nerons |
| Action Potential | depolarization, going up, neural impulse |
| Refraction Period | repolarization, going down, inactivites after neuron has fired |
| Sodium Potassium Pump | if goes down under -70 resting potential this brings it back up |
| Selectively Permiable | cell membrane only allows certain molecules to leave or enter membrane |
| All or Nothing Response | neron cannot do a half response |
| Biology Psychology | link bwtween biological and psychological processes |
| Neuron | a nerve cell, buliding block of nervous system |
| Synapse | junction between tip and neuron |
| Neurotransmitter | chemical messages sent to neuron across synapse influence wheather neuron will create impulse |
| Reuptake | neurontransmitter resporption by sending neuron |
| Endorphins | painkillers/ control , morphine within, exercise increases |
| Acetylcholine | muscle movement, memory and learning, too little alzheimers, mimics nicotine and bitulism |
| Dopamine | movement, feel good, too little Parkinson, too little schizo |
| Serotonin | mood stabilizer, undersupply is depression and prozac used to fix such |
| Norepinephrine | adreninly, arousal, too little, depressed mood |
| Gamma Aminobutyric Acid | major inhibitory = the break, decreasing chances of getting to threshold, undersupply is seizures, valium used to repair |
| Glutamate | the pedal, opens channels, oversupply overstimulates brain |
| Agonist | amps up, mposter, herion for example, brain can tell difference |
| antagonist | amps |
| MS | attacks myelon sheath on axon, auto immune disease |
| Gilil Cells | Supports, nurish and protects neurons |
| Restin Potential | at -70 |
