Transcript
Chapter 2 (The Brain) Study Guide 1. What is a neuron? What are the three basic types of neurons? What is the difference between a neuron with myelin compared to a neuron that is not myelinated? 2. What is stimulus threshold? All-or-none principle? (domino example in class) 3. What is a synapse? 4. Effects of dopamine? Serotonin? Endorphins? Acetylcholine? 5. Know each of the parts of the brain and their functions. 6. “Dendrite” comes from a greek word meaning __________? 7. What disorder has been associated with an excess of dopamine? Which disorder has been associated with a deficit of dopamine? 8. Which drug acts like ACH? 9. How do SSRI’s work? (hint – Prozac) 10. Know the parts of a neuron? 11. Know the range of the length of axons in the body. 12. Define neurotransmitter. 13. What do we mean by “lock and key” system? 14. How do our brains differ from other mammals? 15. What is the pituitary gland and why is it referred to as the master gland? 16. What is the job of the sympathetic nervous system? The parasympathetic? 17. What happened to Phineas Gage? 18. Which disorder has been associated with a loss of ACH producing neurons?
