|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | A branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior. (Some biological psychologists call themselves behavioral neuropsychologists, behavior genetics, physiologists, or biopsychologists).
🗑
|
||||
| Neuron | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Neurons that carry incoming information from the sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Neurons within the brain and spinal cord that communicate internally and intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs.
🗑
|
||||
| Dendrite | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through which messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
🗑
|
||||
| Myelin Sheath | show 🗑
|
||||
| Action Potential | show 🗑
|
||||
| Threshold | show 🗑
|
||||
| Synapse | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A neurotransmitter's reabsorption by the sending neuron.
🗑
|
||||
| show | "Morphine within"-natural, opiatelike neurotransmitters linked to pain control and to pleasure.
🗑
|
||||
| Glial Cells | show 🗑
|
||||
| Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| Central Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| Peripheral Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| Nerves | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal muscles. Also called the Skeletal Nervous System.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart). Its sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.
🗑
|
||||
| Sympathetic Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body, conserving its energy.
🗑
|
||||
| Reflex | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Neurons that carry incoming information from the sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Neurons within the brain and spinal cord that communicate internally and intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs.
🗑
|
||||
| Motor Neurons | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The body's "slow" chemical communication system; a set of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Chemical messengers that are manufactured by the endocrine glands travel through the bloodstream, and affect other tissues.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A pair of endocrine glands that sit just above the kidneys and secret hormones (epinephrine and norepinephrine) that help arouse the body times of stress.
🗑
|
||||
| Pituitary Gland | show 🗑
|
||||
| Acetylcholine | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A neurotransmitter that has an important role in controlling motor behavior and is implicated in numerous mental conditions.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A common neurotransmitter, primarily regulating mood, in the brain and other parts of the central nervous system.
🗑
|
||||
| Norepinephrine | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A major inhibitory neurotransmitter. Plays a role in seizure, migraine, or tremor prevention.
🗑
|
||||
| Glutamate | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The cell body.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The property of a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but not others.
🗑
|
||||
| Depolarization | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | In the subsequent relative refractory period, it responds only to a stronger than normal stimulus.
🗑
|
||||
| Relative Refractory Period | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The "Master Gland"; it controls all other glands as well as regulates your height.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Regulates one's metabolism and growth through the production of thyroid hormones.
🗑
|
||||
| Adrenal Glands | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Found in males and females; produces sex cells specifically in the testes or the ovaries.
🗑
|
||||
| Neural Networks | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A molecule that combines with a receptor on a cell to trigger physiological reaction.
🗑
|
||||
| Antagonist | show 🗑
|
||||
| Excitatory v. Inhibitory Signals | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The electrical activity within the neuron as a nerve impulse is transmitted.
🗑
|
||||
| Pineal Gland | show 🗑
