2 What part of the neuron serves as protective coating

3 Myelin Sheath

4 The process by which a tiny electrical current is generated when positive sodium ions rush inside the axon, causing the inside of the axon to change its charge and preparing it to fire is called ____?

5 Action Potential

6 Which type of neurons carry information away from the spinal chord to produce responses in various muscles and organs throughout the body?

7 Efferent Neurons

8 The sympathetic nervous system ___ physiological responses, while the parasympathetic nervous system ___ physiological responses.

9 Arouses, Calms

10 This principle/law explains that action potential starts at the beginning of the axon and continues at the same speed to the very end of the axon

11 All-or-None

12 This part of the brain is located between the medulla and other areas of the brain and is responsible for sleep and arousal

13 Pons

14 This part of the brain is affected during split brain surgery

15 Corpus Callosum

16 This part of the brain is responsible for combining sounds into words and arranging words into meaningful sentences? Hint – think aphasia

17 Broca’s Area

18 The main job of this brain area is to receive information and relay it to the appropriate areas

19 Thalamus

20 Bodily sensations such as touch, pressure, and temperature are controlled by which lobe?

21 Parietal

22 This records electrical impulses from the brain

23 EEG

24 Wernicke’s area is located on which lobe of the brain

25 Left Temporal Lobe

26 A “split-brain” patient is asked to stare at a black dot between the HE and ART as the word HEART is displayed on a screen. When the patient is asked what they see, what will they respond with?

27 ART

28 Karla is telling her younger sister stories about her first birthday in their new home. Which part of the brain is Karla using to recall these memories?

29 Amygdala

30 If damage occurs in the occipital lobe, an individual may not recognize some objects, people, or colors. This damage is called

31 Visual Agnosia

32 Another name for the cell body of the neuron is

33 Soma

34 These secrete neurotransmitters across a synapse

35 Terminal feet/buttons

36 Once a neuron fires, it cannot immediately fire again. It is in a state of __?

37 Resting Potential

38 This portion of the neuron is responsible for keeping the axon charged by returning and keeping sodium ions outside the axon membrane

39 Sodium Pump

40 Which neurotransmitter most closely resembles the affects alcohol has on the nervous system

41 GABA

42 This process involves passing nonharmful radio frequencies through the brain to study brain structure

43 MRI

44 This part of the brain controls eating and drinking, motivation, and emotion

45 Hypothalamus

46 This neurotransmitter stimulates the hypothalamus to synthesize hormones and affects alertness and movement. Lack of this neurotransmitter is associated with Parkinson's Disease.

47 Dopamine

48 The hypothalamus, thalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus are all part of what system?

49 Limbic

50 Gunshot wounds, tumors, and strokes can all result in these in the brain.

51 Lesions
