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? |
