NU 334 EXAM #1 Part 2 Questions and Answers| New Update with 100% Correct Answers
Surface of the cerebrum is called cerebral cortex (4 lobes; may play a role in emotional
experience; evidenced by changes when the area is damaged)
frontal lobe of cerebrum thinking, judgement formation, expression of feelings, speaking,
voluntary body movement
Parietal lobe of cerebrum perception and interpretation of sensory info
(parietal/perception)
temporal lobe of cerebrum short term memory, expression of emotions though connection
with limbic system, hearing
(temporal/closet to limbic system)
occipital lobe of cerebrum visual reception and interpretation (occipital lesions can cause
visual hallucinations)
(occiput/ocular)
limbic system is also called the emotional brain
limbic system is composed of many structures most notably (6) amygdala, pituitary,
hippocampus, hypothalamus*, thalamus* and neuronal connecting pathways
Limbic system is associated with feelings of o Fear and anxiety
o Anger, rage and aggression
o Love, joy and hope
o Sexuality and social behavior
, The tissue of the Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of nerve cells called neurons that
generate and transmit electrochemical impulses
neuron is composed of (3) cell body, an axon, dendrites
synapses junction between two neurons
Neurons conducting impulses toward a synapse presynaptic cells
Neurons conducting impulses away postsynaptic neurons
Neurotransmitters chemicals stored in the axon terminals of presynaptic neurons
neurotransmitters are responsible for the role of human emotion and behavior
(Also target for the mechanism of action of many psychotropic meds)
Major categories of NT (4) - cholinergic
- monoamines
- amino acids
-neuropeptides
Categories of Neurotransmitters: cholinergic - affects sympathetic and parasympathetic
system
- Affects sleep, arousal, pain perception, movement (motor control), learning, and memory
