Scientific word for nerve cell
Neuron
Daily Double!!! What this part does
Transmits stimulus to next neuron; releases “chemicals” into the synapse
Chemicals that function here
neurotransmitters
Direction of an impulse
Away from the cell body (to the right)
Sarin nerve gas and Raid have this effect in the space between motor neurons and muscle
They prevent neurotransmitters from being broken down resulting in paralysis
Kind of neuron that detects external stimuli
Sensory neuron
Kind of neuron that makes muscle contract
motor neuron
All reflexes are not under conscious control they are… actions Daily Double!!! All reflexes are not under conscious control they are… actions
involuntary
The function of reflexes
protection; survival
The path of a reflex (specific neurons involved); Label the diagram
Stimulus Sensory neuron (x,y) Interneuron (W) Motor Neuron (Z) Response
part that controls balance and coordination
cerebellum
memories are stored here
the cerebrum
involuntary part of the brain
medulla
motor neurons for voluntary movement are in this part
cerebrum
Name the parts pictured here Describe how a dancer would use each part 1 2 3
You go girl! 1 cerebrum – remembering dance, initiating movement 2 medulla- involuntary – breathing rate, heart rate 3 cerebellum - coordinating movements, maintaining balance You go girl!
Brain and Spinal Cord are this part of the human nervous system
Central Nervous System
Daily Double!!! Nerves coming out of the spinal cord are this part of the human nervous system
Peripheral Nervous System
Part of the Nervous System that controls automatic functions
Autonomic Nervous System
The Somatic Nervous System controls these muscles
Skeletal Muscle
The 2 divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic
Infection of membranes surrounding the brain
Meningitis
Symptoms include tremors; due to lack of dopamine
Parkinson’s disease
Polio and Cerebral Palsy affect the part of the brain that does this
controls movement; muscle contraction
This happens to synapses in Alzheimers brains
clogged with protein
Cause of Parkinson’s disease
Cells that make dopamine die
Final Jeopardy Make your wager
How a vaccine for Alzheimer’s disease would work
Body attacks vaccine, then if Alzheimer’s starts it attacks the protein collecting in the synapses; removes protein from synapses
