Chapter 2: Biopsychology Matching Test
1. _____ There is a connection between the mind and the body. True or False
2. _____ Neuron
3. _____ Soma
4. _____ Terminal Buttons
5. _____ Axon
6. _____ Neurotransmitters
7. _____ Synapse
8. _____ Dendrites
A. receives, process, and transmits
information to other cells in the body
B. biochemical substances that play a large
role in behavior, cognition, and emotions
C. neurotransmitters are passed through this
gap
D. between terminal buttons and cell body
E. information received here and passed into
cell
F. bulb-like structures that pass neurons onto
other neurons or muscles
G. main part of Neuron
Neurotransmitters
9. _____ _____ Acetylcholine
10. _____ _____ Dopamine
11. _____ _____ Norepinephrine
12. _____ _____ Epinephrine
13. _____ _____ Serotonin
14. _____ _____ GABA
15. _____ Endorphins
A. inhibits excitation and anxiety
B. Too little can be associated with depression and
some anxiety disorders, especially obsessivecompulsive disorder. Some antidepressant
medications increase the availability of this
chemical at the receptor sites.
C. Too little of this has been associated with
depression.
D. correlated with movement, attention, and
learning
E. plays a role in mood, sleep, appetite, and
impulsive and aggressive behavior
F. Too much of this has been associated with
schizophrenia, and too little is associated with
some forms of depression as well as the
muscular rigidity and tremors found in
Parkinson’s disease.
G. involved in pain relief and feelings of pleasure
and contentedness
H. Too little is associated with anxiety and anxiety
disorders. Some antianxiety medication
increases this at the receptor sites.
I. Too much is associated with depression, and
too little in the hippocampus has been
associated with dementia.
J. involved in energy, and glucose metabolism
K. Too little has been associated with depression,
while an excess has been associated with
schizophrenia
L. involved in voluntary movement, learning,
memory, and sleep
M. associated with eating, alertness
16. _____ Central Nervous System
17. _____ Cerebral Cortex
18. _____ left hemisphere
19. _____ right hemisphere
A. more involved with musical and artistic
abilities
B. language, the ‘rational’ half of the brain,
associated with analytical thinking and
logical abilities
C. consists of the brain and the spinal cord
D. involved in a variety of higher cognitive,
emotional, sensory, and motor functions is
more developed in humans than any other
animal
Lobes
20. _____ Frontal
21. _____ Parietal
22. _____ Occipital
23. _____ Temporal
A. (auditory cortex) receptive language
(understanding language), as well as
memory and emotion
B. (motor cortex) motor behavior, expressive
language, higher level cognitive processes,
and orientation to person, place, time, and
situation
C. (somatosensory Cortex) involved in the
processing of touch, pressure, temperature,
and pain
D. (visual cortex) interpretation of visual
information
24. _____Brainstem
25. _____ Medulla Oblongata
26. _____ Reticular Activating System (Reticular
Formation)
27. _____ Pons
28. _____ Cerebellum
29. _____ Thalamus
30. _____ Hypothalamus
31. _____ Limbic System
32. _____ Amygdala
33. _____ Hippocampus
34. _____ Peripheral Nervous System
35. _____ Somatic Nervous System
36. _____ Autonomic Nervous System
37. _____ Sympathetic Nervous System
38. _____ Parasympathetic Nervous System
A. involved more in memory, and the transfer of
information from short-term to long-term
memory
B. "central switching station" – relays incoming
sensory information (except olfactory) to the
brain
C. balance, smooth movement, and posture
D. emotional expression, particularly the
emotional component of behavior, memory,
and motivation
E. controls the autonomic nervous system, and
therefore maintains the body’s homeostasis,
which we will discuss later (controls body
temperature, metabolism, and appetite.
Translates extreme emotions into physical
responses.
F. controls heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure,
digestion
G. attaches emotional significance to information
and mediates both defensive and aggressive
behavior
H. involved in arousal and attention, sleep and
wakefulness, and control of reflexes
I. involved in life sustaining functions
J. regulates states of arousal, including sleep and
dreaming.
A. controls what has been called the "Fight or
Flight" phenomenon because of its control
over the necessary bodily changes needed
when we are faced with a situation where
we may need to defend ourselves or
escape. Imagine walking down a dark
street at night by yourself
B. regulates primarily involuntary activity
such as heart rate, breathing, blood
pressure, and digestion
C. primary function is to regulate the actions
of the skeletal muscles
D. is divided into two sub-systems
E. This system is slow acting, unlike its
counterpart, and may take several minutes
or even longer to get your body back to
where it was before the scare.
