amino acids -correct answers building blocks of proteins
Glucose -correct answers the form of sugar that circulates in the blood and provides the major
source of energy for body ssues. When its level is low, we feel hunger.
Glycogen -correct answers An extensively branched glucose storage polysaccharide found in the
liver and muscle of animals; the animal equivalent of starch.
aphasia -correct answers impairment of language, usually caused by le hemisphere damage
either to Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to Wernicke's area (impairing understanding).
EEG -correct answers An amplified recording of the waves of electrical ac vity that sweep across
the brain's surface. These waves are measured by electrodes placed on the scalp.
Suppor ng cells of the nervous system -correct answers neuroglial cells,
Acetylcholine -correct answers A neurotransmi er that enables learning and memory and also
triggers muscle contrac on,
Oligodendrocytes -correct answers Type of glial cell in the CNS that wrap axons in a myelin
sheath.
Norepinephrine -correct answers A neurotransmi er involved in arousal, as well as in learning
and mood regula on, helps control alertness and arousal
, Serotonin -correct answers A neurotransmi er that affects hunger,sleep, arousal, and mood.
Histamine -correct answers a compound that is released by cells in response to injury and in
allergic and inflammatory reac ons, causing contrac on of smooth muscle and dila on of
capillaries.
Psychoneuroimmunology -correct answers the study of how psychological, neural, and
endocrine processes together affect the immune system and resul ng health
GABA -correct answers An inhibitory neurotransmi er in the brain.
B-adrenergic receptor blockers -correct answers - block b-adrenergic receptors
- management of angina; control of tremors; migraine preven on; an arrhythmic effects;
lowering blood pressure; reduc on of heart rate
- reduce responses caused by the ac va on of the sympathe c nervous system,
