AP Psychology - Module 9
Plato - ANS-located the mind in the spherical head -- perfect form
Aristotle - ANS-believed mind was in the heart, pumping warmth and validity to the body
Franz Gall - ANS-proposed phrenology, studying bumps on the skull (could reveal a
person's mental abilities and character traits
Localization of Function - ANS-idea that various brain regions have particular functions
Biological Psychology - ANS-scientific study between biological and psychological
processes
Discoveries about the interplay of our biology and our behavior and mind - ANS-- body
is composed of cells
- nerve cells that conduct electricity and communicate to one another by sending
chemical messages
- each brain systems serve specific functions
- integrate information processed in the brain systems to construct our experiences
- our adaptive brain is wired by our experience
Biopsychosocial Systems - ANS-- the human body systems are composed of large
systems, but there are subsystems within those, and then even small subsystems
- human behavior is using the biological, psychological, and social systems and learning
how they interact
Neurons - ANS-nerve cell; the basic building block of the nervous system
Dendrite - ANS-neuron's bushy; branching extensions that receives information and
conduct it toward the cell body
Axon - ANS-neuron extensions that passes messages through its branches to other
neurons or to muscles or glands
Myelin Sheath - ANS-a layer of fatty tissue that insulates the asons and speeds their
impulses
- - multiple sclerosis occurs when the sheath degenerates, communication to muscles
slows down, and eventually lose muscle control
