Detailed Answers
New Update!!
1. The CNS is made up of what? - ANSWER brain and spinal cord
2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - ANSWER the sensory and motor
neurons that connect the CNS to the rest of the body
3. Somatic System
Autonomic System
- Somatic System (PNS) - ANSWER Connects CNS to the skeletal muscles
and skin
- Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) - ANSWER the part of the peripheral
nervous system that connects CNS nerves to organs
4. Sympathetic Division
Parasympathetic Division
- Sympathetic Divison - ANSWER Part of ANS within PNS: fight or
flight
, - Parasympathetic Division - ANSWER Part of ANS within PNS: rest
and digest
5. Neuron - ANSWER Cell body, axons, and dendrites
6. Acetylcholine - ANSWER Excitatory Neurotransmitter
Muscle movement
7. Norepinephrine - ANSWER Excitatory Neurotransmitter
Arousal, moods, memory formation
8. Serotonin - ANSWER Excitatory Neurotransmitter
Emotion, mood, sleep, temperature regulation
9. Dopamine - ANSWER Excitatory & Inhibitory Neurotransmitter
Body movement, pleasure, reward
10.GABA - ANSWER Inhibitory Neurotransmitter
Motor behavior (not enough = convulsions)
11.Glycine - ANSWER Inhibitory Neurotransmitter
Spinal reflexes, motor behavior
12.Enkephalins & Endorphins - ANSWER Inhibitory Neurotransmitters
,inhibit spinal neurons from transmitting pain signals to the brain, pleasure
13.Medulla Oblongata - ANSWER Lowest part of the brain/brainstem that
controls vital life-sustaining involuntary functions such as heartbeat,
breathing, blood pressure, and digestion.
14.Pons - ANSWER Connects brain stem and midbrain
Allows communication b/w cerebrum, cerebellum, and spinal cord
15.Midbrain - ANSWER A small part of the brain above the pons that
integrates sensory information and relays it upward
Psychedelics act here and cause hallucinations
16.Limbic System - ANSWER neural system (including the hippocampus,
amygdala, and hypothalamus) located below the cerebral hemispheres;
associated with emotions and drives.
Tranquilizers calm
17.Hypothalamus - ANSWER A neural structure lying below the thalamus;
it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body
temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland,
and is linked to emotion and reward.
Many psychoactive drugs work here
18.Cerebellum - ANSWER A large structure of the hindbrain that controls
fine motor skills.
, 19.Thalamus - ANSWER 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
20.Subthalamus - ANSWER located beneath the thalamus
interacts with the cerebellum to control motor activity
21.Cerebrum Lobes - ANSWER frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal
22.Frontal Lobe - ANSWER A region of the cerebral cortex that has
specialized areas for movement, abstract thinking, planning, memory, and
judgement
23.Occipital Lobe - ANSWER A region of the cerebral cortex that processes
visual information
24.Parietal Lobe - ANSWER portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the top
of the head and toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch and body
position
25.Temporal Lobe - ANSWER A region of the cerebral cortex responsible
for hearing and language.
26.Cerebral Cortex - ANSWER outer region of the cerebrum, containing
sheets of nerve cells; gray matter of the brain
