|
||||
| Axon | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Fatty tissue incasing the axon, speeds up the impulses.
🗑
|

| Reuptake | show 🗑
|
||||
| Endorphin | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Found in drugs works as a neurotransmitter to create a temporary high.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Binds to receptors while blocking neurotransmitters.
🗑
|
||||
| Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| Central Nervous System (CNS) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Bundled axons that form neural "cables" that connect the CNS with the muscles, glands, and sense organs.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Carry sensory receptor info to the CNS.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Carry info from the CNS 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Somatic Nervous System | show 🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| Reflexes | show 🗑
|
||||
| Endocrine System | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Chemical messengers that are manufactured by the endocrine glands and travel through the blood stream to effect other tissue.
🗑
|
||||
| Adrenal Glands | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Endocrine's most influential gland. Under the hypothalamus the gland regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands.
🗑

| PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography) | show 🗑
|
||||
| MRI | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Oldest and most central part of the brain, beginning where the spinal cord swells as it enters the skull; it is responsible for automatic survival functions.
🗑
|
||||
| Pons | show 🗑
|
||||
| Medulla | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The brains sensory control center, on top of the brainstem.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A nerve network that travels through the brain stem, controls arousal.
🗑
|
||||
| show | "little brain" processes sensory input, coordinates movement output and balance, and enables non-verbal learning.
🗑
|
||||
| Limbic System | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | neural clusters linked to emotions.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A neural structure below the thalamus. Directs, eating, drinking, and body temperature. Governs the endocrine system, and is linked to emotion and reward.

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.
