Question
Answer
Junction where one neuron can transfer an impulse to the structure   Synapse  
🗑
Big part of the neuron   Cell Body  
🗑
Thread-like extension carries impulses away from the cell body   Axon  
🗑
Thread-like extension carries impulses toward the cell body   Dendrite  
🗑
Neuron carries impulses from one neuron to another   Inter neuron  
🗑
Neuron converts stimulus into nerve impulses   Sensory neuron  
🗑
Neuron sends an impulse to muscle gland to react   Motor neuron  
🗑
A change in an environment that causes given testers to react   Stimulus  
🗑
Reaction to a stimulus   Response  
🗑
Cerebrum   Controls thought, memory, learning, voluntary movement, and senses  
🗑
Cerebellum   balance and muscle coordination  
🗑
Medulla   Controls breathing, heartbeat, and other vital body processes  
🗑
Spinal Chord   Relays impulses from the brain to the rest of the body  
🗑
Spinal Nerve   Carries impulses between the spinal Chord and the brain to the rest of the body  
🗑
The part of the nervous system which in vertebrates consists of the brain and spinal chord. To which sensory impulses are transmitted and from which motor impulses pass out.   Central nervous system  
🗑
The nerves in here connect to the sensory organs EX. eye and ear   Peripheral nervous system  
🗑
Automatic response that occurs rapidly without conscious control   What happens in a reflex  
🗑
Bruised brain   Concussion  
🗑
Damaged brain cortex   Traumatic Brain injury  
🗑
He got impaled with a pole   How did Phineas Gage obtain a brain injury?  
🗑
He was inappropriate, cussed, was immature, and very child-like   How did Phineas Gage's brain injury affect him?  
🗑
You get used to it happening so your reaction time gets speedier as you go along   What happens when you are introduced to a stimulus over and over again?  
🗑


   

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.
