🗑

| neuron | show 🗑
|
||||
| sensory neurons | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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
🗑
|
||||
| show | a layer of fatty tissue segmentally encasing the fibers of many neurons; enables vastly greater transmission speed of neural impulses as the impulse hops from one node to the next
🗑
|
||||
| show | a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon
🗑
|
||||
| threshold | show 🗑
|
||||
| synapse | show 🗑
|
||||
| neurotransmitters | show 🗑
|
||||
| reuptake | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | “morphine within”—natural, opiatelike neurotransmitters linked to pain control and to pleasure
🗑
|
||||
| show | the body’s speedy, electrochemical communication network, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems
🗑
|
||||
| central nervous system | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body
🗑
|
||||
| nerves | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body’s skeletal muscles
🗑
|
||||
| autonomic nervous system | show 🗑
|
||||
| sympathetic nervous system | show 🗑
|
||||
| parasympathetic nervous system | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a simple, automatic response to a sensory stimulus, such as the knee-jerk response
🗑
|
||||
| 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 secrete hormones (epinephrine and norepinephrine) that help arouse the body in times of stress
🗑
|
||||
| show | the endocrine system’s most influential gland. Under the influence of the hypothalamus, the pituitary regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands
🗑
|
||||
| show | enables muscle action, learning, and memory
🗑
|
||||
| Acetylcholine | show 🗑
|
||||
| Dopamine | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Excess receptor activity of this neurotransmitter is linked to schizophrenia. Starved of dopamine produces Parkinson's disease
🗑
|
||||
| Serotonin | show 🗑
|
||||
| Serotonin | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | helps control alertness and arousal
🗑
|

| Norepinephrine | show 🗑
|
||||
| GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) | show 🗑
|
||||
| GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | major excitatory neurotransmitter; involved in memory
🗑
|
||||
| show | oversupply can produce migraines or seizures
🗑

||||
| lesion | show 🗑
|
||||
| electroencephalogram (EEG) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a series of X-ray photographs taken from different angles and combined by computer into a composite representation of a slice through the body. Also called CAT scan
🗑
|
||||
| show | a visual display of brain activity that detects where a radioactive form of glucose goes while the brain performs a given task
🗑
|
||||
| show | a technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-generated images of soft tissue.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
