AP Psychology Modules 9 & 10 (Myer's)
Biological Psychology - ANS-The scientific study of the links between biological
(genetic, neural, hormonal) and psychological processes
Neuron - ANS-Basic building block of the nervous system
Cell body - ANS-Round, centrally located structure
Controls protein manufacturing
Contains DNA
Directs cell metabolism
No role in neural signaling
Life support center of the neuron.
Dendrite - ANS-The bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that receives messages
and conduct impulses toward the cell body
Axon - ANS-The extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through
which messages are sent to other neurons or to muscles or glands
Myelin sheath - ANS-A layer of fatty cells encasing the axon fibers of many neurons
Acts ad an insulator or conductor and enables vastly greater transmission speed of
impulses
Resting potential - ANS-The charge maintained when there are no action potentials
Threshold - ANS-Level of stimulation required to trigger an action potential
Action potential - ANS-All or nothing response
A neuron either fires or it does not
Movement of an electrical impulse down the axon
Synapse - ANS-Junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite
or cell body of the receiving neuron
Neurotransmitters - ANS-Chemicals that are used to relay, amplify, and modulate
signals between a neuron and another cell
