Chemicals messengers released by the axon terminals The part of the neuron that receives the message and conducts it toward the cell body Covers the axon and speeds up the impulse Neurotransmitter involved in mood, appetite, & arousal; low levels linked to clinical depression Neurotransmitter that induces relaxation & sleep Neurotransmitter involved in memory & learning; if doesn’t experience reuptake could destroy neurons An electrical charge that travels down the axon The level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse The junction between the axon of the sending neuron & the dendrite of the receiving neuron Neurotransmitter associated with memory, learning, & muscle movement; imbalances linked to Alzheimers Neurotransmitter that are the body’s natural pain killers; released during severe pain & exercise The brain and spinal cord make up this part of the nervous system This part of the peripheral nervous system controls your organs & glands (automatic stuff) This part of the peripheral nervous system controls your voluntary movements Neurotransmitter involved in movement, alertness, & leveling out mood; imbalances linked to Schizophrenia & Parkinson’s Disease This part of your nervous system riles your body up and prepares you for fight or flight (accelerates heartbeat & breathing, makes you sweat…) This part of your nervous system relaxes/calms your body (slows down heartbeat & breathing…) The large band of neural fibers that connect the 2 hemispheres, carries messages between them, & is cut during split brain procedures. These neurons carry messages from body to the central nervous system. The brain’s capacity to modify itself following brain damage (children are more capable). These neurons carry messages to body from the central nervous system. These neurons exist in our brain & spinal cord and communicate with the other types of neurons. The “master gland” Gland that controls metabolism; weight issues often require checking this gland Gland that triggers the fight or flight response Secretes female sex hormones The part of the brain that controls your breathing, heartbeat, & blood pressure. “Little brain” in the back of your head that controls voluntary muscle movement. This part of the brain receives information from all the senses (except smell) & routes it to the brain regions that deal with vision, hearing, taste, & touch. A nerve network in the brainstem that plays an important role in controlling arousal. The part of the brain that controls all of the body’s maintenance duties (eating, drinking, sex…) and controls the endocrine system. Secretes male sex hormones This part of the brain is responsible for creating new memories. These are support cells that help neurons in your brain. This part of the brain controls our basic emotions such as fear, anger/aggression… This part of the temporal lobe processes words we see written. This is the wrinkled outer layer of our brain. This lobe processes the visual information from our eyes. This lobe deals with our higher level thought and reasoning. This area of the frontal lobe is where we problem solve. This part of our frontal lobe controls our body’s voluntary movements. This part of the left, frontal lobe controls the muscles that we use to speak. This lobe is located at the top of our heads and is where we process much of our sensory information. This area of our parietal lobe processes our touch and movement sensations. This lobe is located above our ears and processes sounds. This part of the temporal lobe processes words we hear spoken. This group of neurons learn, remember, & coordinates movement.
