Question
Answer
show The specialty that studies the interaction of biology, behavior, and mental processes.  
🗑
Neuroscience   show
🗑
Evolution   show
🗑
show The force by which the environment selects the fittest organisms.  
🗑
Genotype   show
🗑
Phenotype   show
🗑
DNA   show
🗑
show A segment of a chromosome that encodes the directions for the inherited physical and mental characteristics of an organism.  
🗑
Chromosome   show
🗑
Neuron (Nerve)   show
🗑
show Nerve cell that carries messages from sense receptors toward the central nervous system. Also called afferent neuron.  
🗑
Motor neuron   show
🗑
show A nerve cell that relays messages between nerve cells, especially in the brain and spinal cord.  
🗑
Dendrite   show
🗑
Soma   show
🗑
Axon   show
🗑
show Electrical charge of the axon in its inactive state, when neuron is ready to fire.  
🗑
show Nerve impulse caused by a change in electrical charge across the cell membrane of the axon. When the neuron fires, this charge travels down the axon and causes neurotransmitters to be released by the terminal buttons.  
🗑
show Action potential either occurrs full blown, or not at all.  
🗑
show Microscopic gap that serves as a communications link between neurons.  
🗑
Terminal buttons   show
🗑
show The relaying of information across the synapse be means of chemical neurotransmitters.  
🗑
show A small container holding neurotransmitter molecules that then connects to the presynaptic membrane, releasing the neurotransmitter into the synapse.  
🗑
Neurotransmitters   show
🗑
show The nervous system's ability to adapt or change as the result of experience.  
🗑
Gilal cells   show
🗑
show Entire network of neurons in the body, including the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, and their subdivisions.  
🗑
Central nervous system   show
🗑
show A simple, unlearned response triggered by stimuli.  
🗑
Peripheral nervous system   show
🗑
Somatic nervous system   show
🗑
show Portion of PNS that sends communications between CNS and internal organs and glands.  
🗑
Sympathetic division   show
🗑
show Part of ANS that monitors the routine operations of the interal organs and returns the body to calmer functioning after stimulation by sympathetic divison.  
🗑
Endocrine system   show
🗑
Hormone   show
🗑
Pituitary gland   show
🗑
show Drug that mimics effects of neurotransmitters.  
🗑

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.
