PSYCH 1101 FINAL EXAM PREPARATION NEWEST
2026-2027 WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS. EXAMS OF
NURSING
Dendrites - - ANS✔️--Branching neuron structures that recieve neural impulses from other
neurons and convey impulses toward the cell body
Cell Body - - ANS✔️--Part of the neuron containing the cell nucleus, as well as other structures
that help the neuron carry out its functions; also known as the soma
Axon - - ANS✔️--Long, tubelike structure that conveys impulses away from the neurons cells
body toward other neurons or to muscles or glands
Myelin Sheath - - ANS✔️--Layer of fatty insulation wrapped around the axon of some neurons,
which increases the rate at which nerve impulses travel along the axon
, 2|Page
Action Potential - - ANS✔️--Neural impulses, or brief electrical charge, that carries information
along the axon of a neuron. The action potential is generated when positively charged ions move
in and out through channels in the axons membrane
Neurotransmitters - - ANS✔️--Chemicals released by neurons that travel across the synaptic gap
and allow neurons to communicate with one another
Synapse - - ANS✔️--Gap between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell
body of the receiving neuron. During an action potential, chemicals called neurotransmitters are
released and flow across the synaptic gap
Endorphins - - ANS✔️--Chemical substances in the nervous system, which are similar in
structure and action to opiates, involved in pain control, pleasure, and memory
Central Nervous System - - ANS✔️--Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System - - ANS✔️--All nerves and neurons connecting the central nervous
system to the rest of the body
Neuroplasty - - ANS✔️--Brains ability to reorganixe and change its structure and function
throughout the life span
