Where are neurotransmitters stored? How do they
communicate between neurons? - ANSWERS-They are
stored in the axon terminal at the very end of the terminal
in the very tip of the finger-like branches. The very end is
called the terminal button.
"If the signal reaches the terminal buttons, they are signaled
to emit chemicals known as neurotransmitters, which
communicate with other neurons across the spaces
between the cells, known as synapses."
What is the function of the cerebellum? - ANSWERS-
Coordination, balance, and posture. Stand, walk, run, dance.
Circular and tucked up underneath the lobes of the brain.
Cinderella's cerebellum - dancing.
,What is the function of the hypothalamus? - ANSWERS-
Body temperature, hunger, thirst, and sex drive. Below the
thalamus. Hypothermostat = body temperature.
What is the function of the thalamus? - ANSWERS-
Consciousness and sleep. Underneath the corpus callosum
right in the middle of the brain. Thank you thalamus for
letting me sleep.
What is the function of the corpus callosum? - ANSWERS-
Band of nerve fibers joining the two hemispheres of the
brain and allowing them to communicate. Like a mediator
reminded the left and right brain to work together.
What is the function of the hippocampus? - ANSWERS-Store
long term memory. Looks like horns. If I see a hippo with
horns on the highway, I will never forget because I have a
hippocampus.
What is the function of the frontal lobe? - ANSWERS-
Thinking, planning, judgement. Right behind your forehead.
Remember: scratch your forehead when you are thinking.
,What is the function of the parietal lobe? - ANSWERS-
Processing information about touch like a tickle on your
foot. Behind the frontal lobe. Parietal lobe processes.
Remember the P's.
What is the function of the temporal lobe? - ANSWERS-
Hearing and language. Around the ear region. Headphones
would sit around the temporal lobe.
What is the function of the occipital lobe? - ANSWERS-
Visual information. Very back of the head. O like a circle of
the eye or the lens in glasses. "Eyes in the back of my head"
What is the endocrine system? - ANSWERS-secretes
chemical messengers called hormones that influence our
emotions and behaviors.
What is the function of the pancreas? - ANSWERS-Regulates
the level of blood sugar in the blood
What is the function of the testes? - ANSWERS-produce
sperm and testosterone
, What is function of the ovaries? - ANSWERS-
Progesterone/estrogen/egg production.
What is the function of the pituitary gland? - ANSWERS-
Secretes many different hormones, some of which affect
other glands. It's the master gland. Controls everything.
What is the difference between sensation and perception? -
ANSWERS-sensation—awareness resulting from the
stimulation of a sense organ
perception—the organization and interpretation of
sensations
What is the definition for the term absolute threshold? -
ANSWERS-the intensity of a stimulus that allows an
organism to just barely detect it
What is subliminal messaging? How effective is subliminal
messaging? - ANSWERS-means "below the threshold" and
only effective 50% of the time.
A signal or message designed to pass below (sub) the
normal limits of perception. An inaudible to the conscious
mind (but audible to the unconscious or deeper mind)
