|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | the body's speedy, electrochemical communication network, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the brain and spinal cord.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body.
🗑
|
||||
| Nerves | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | neurons that carry incoming information from the body's tissues and sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord.
🗑
|
||||
| Motor/Efferent neurons | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | neurons within the brain and spinal cord; they communicate internally and process information between the sensory inputs and motor outputs.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy.
🗑
|
||||
| show | a simple, automatic response to a sensory stimulus, such as the knee-jerk response.
🗑
|
||||
| Endocrine system | show 🗑
|
||||
| Hormones | show 🗑
|
||||
| Adrenal glands | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the endocrine system's most influential gland. Under the influence of the hypothalamus, the pituitary regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands.
🗑
|
||||
| Lesion | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | an amplified recording of the waves of electrical activity sweeping across the brain's surface. These waves are measured by electrodes placed on the scalp.
🗑
|
||||
| show | a brain imaging technique that measures magnetic fields from the brain's natural electrical activity.
🗑
|
||||
| CT (computed tomography) scan | show 🗑
|
||||
| PET (positron emission tomography) scan | show 🗑
|
||||
| MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a technique for revealing bloodflow and, therefore, brain activity by comparing successive MRI scans. fMRI scans show brain function as well as structure.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the oldest part and central core of the brain, beginning where the spinal cord swells as it enters the skull; the brainstem is responsible for automatic survival functions.
🗑
|
||||
| medulla | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the brain's sensory control center, located on top of the brainstem; it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla.
🗑
|
||||
| reticular formation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the "little brain" at the rear of the brainstem; functions include processing sensory input, coordinating movement output and balance, and enabling nonverbal learning and memory.
🗑
|
||||
| limbic system | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | two lima-bean-sized neural clusters in the limbic system; linked to emotion.
🗑
|
||||
| hypothalamus | show 🗑
|
||||
| hippocampus | show 🗑
|
||||
| cerebral cortex | show 🗑
|
||||
| Frontal lobes | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the top of the head and toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch and body position.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the back of the head; includes areas that receive information from the visual fields.
🗑
|
||||
| temporal lobes | show 🗑
|
||||
| motor cortex | show 🗑
|
||||
| somatosensory cortex | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking.
🗑
|
||||
| plasticity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the formation of new neurons.
🗑

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.
