CATEGORY 1 - $100 This is the area of the brain capable of higher mental abilities, personality and smell.
CATEGORY 1 - $100 What is the frontal lobe?
CATEGORY 1 - $200 This part of the brain is responsible for interpreting and processing visual information.
CATEGORY 1 - $200 What is the occipital lobe?
CATEGORY 1 - $300 This part of the brain contains centers for hearing and some language functions.
CATEGORY 1 - $300 What is the temporal lobe?
CATEGORY 1 - $400 This part of the brain is contained within the parietal lobe and registers pressure, temperature and pain.
CATEGORY 1 - $400 What is the sensory cortex?
CATEGORY 1 - $500 This part of the brain interprets & evaluates your environment. Damage can result in fewer inhibitions, failure to plan & distractibility to name a few.
CATEGORY 1 - $500 What is the Frontal Association area?
CATEGORY 2 - $100 This is our bodies electro- chemical information system (interstate highway).
CATEGORY 2 - $100 What is the Nervous System? the Nervous System?
CATEGORY 2 - $200 These are grouped & bundled as cables that shoot message back & forth along our nerves.
CATEGORY 2 - $200 What are neurons/axons?
CATEGORY 2 - $300 This is part of our peripheral nervous system; it controls our voluntary and skeletal muscles.
CATEGORY 2 - $300 What is the somatic nervous system?
CATEGORY 2 - $400 This part of our PNS arouses, alarms and enrages. It puts your body into “Fight or Flight Mode.”
CATEGORY 2 - $400 What is the Sympathetic NS?
CATEGORY 2 - $500
Name the three types of neurons and explain the functions of each.
CATEGORY 2 - $500 What are Sensory neurons - gather and send info to the CNS Motor Neurons – sends messages from the CNS to the body’s tissues and muscles Inter Neurons – communicate between the sensory neurons and motor neurons
CATEGORY 3 - $100 This is the master gland that regulate all others.
CATEGORY 3 - $100 What is the pituitary gland?
CATEGORY 3 - $200 This gland is located in the neck and regulates a persons metabolism.
CATEGORY 3 - $200 What is the Thyroid gland?
CATEGORY 3 - $300 This gland is located on the right and left side of the body and is responsible for putting adrenaline into the bloodstream.
CATEGORY 3 - $300 What are the Adrenal Glands?
CATEGORY 3 - $400 These natural opiates are released in response to pain or vigorous exercise.
CATEGORY 3 - $400 What are endorphins?
CATEGORY 3 - $500 This is the hormone that stimulates the sex drive in both males and females.
CATEGORY 3 - $500 What is Androgen?
CATEGORY 4 - $100 This is the part of the brain responsible for communicating between the hemispheres.
CATEGORY 4 - $100 What is the corpus callosum?
CATEGORY 4 - $200 This is the area between two neurons where neurotransmitters are shot across.
CATEGORY 4 - $200 What is the synaptic gap?
CATEGORY 4 - $300 This is the neural impulse or message that travels down the neuron and causes it to fire.
CATEGORY 4 - $300 What is an action potential?
CATEGORY 4 - $400 This is the process by which neurotransmitters are reabsorbed by the terminal fibers.
CATEGORY 4 - $400 What is reuptake?
CATEGORY 4 - $500
Name two neurotransmitters and explain their functions.
CATEGORY 4 - $500
CATEGORY 5 - $100 This is the outermost layer of the brain, responsible for higher order thnking.
CATEGORY 5 - $100 What is the cerebral cortex?
CATEGORY 5 - $200 This acts as a sensory relay station, sending and receiving sensory info like vision, taste, touch, hearing.
CATEGORY 5 - $200 What is the Thalamus?
CATEGORY 5 - $300 This part of the brain regulates posture, muscle control and coordination.
CATEGORY 5 - $300 What is the cerebellum?
CATEGORY 5 - $400 This area effects your alertness, sorts & prioritizes nerve impulses and controls reflexes.
CATEGORY 5 - $400 What is reticular activating systems?
CATEGORY 5 - $500 Explain the differences between the left & right Hemispheres.
CATEGORY 5 - $500 Left Hemisphere Tasks – local view Handles verbal and speech material, like encoding and syntax some logic and writing, superior at judging time, math, rhythm & coordinating complex movements like those associated with speech Mainly involved in analysis and processing information sequentially Right Hemisphere Tasks – global view Can produce only basic speech and numbers Deals with objects in space, recognizing patterns, faces, and melodies, putting together a puzzle and drawing a picture, some mathematical reasoning Helps express emotions and detect emotions of others Chances are these people will be better at nonverbal activities, specializes in imagery Processes material simultaneously and holistically
Explain two ways in which the brain can be imaged.
MRI Magnetic scans reveal brain structures and look for tissue damage or disease. EEG records electrical activity along the scalp to map brain communication. PET imaging test w/ a radioactive substance to look for disease or injury in the brain. fMRI (functional MRI) detecting the changes in blood oxygenation and flow that occur in response to neural activity.
