Branching fibers extending out from the cell body to receive information from other neurons are called: • • • • A) axons. B) glial cells. C) dendrites. D) axon terminals. 2. ___ wrap(s) many axons, insulating them and speeding their impulses. • • • • A) Sodium ions B) Myelin C) Glial cells D) Potassium ions 3. The brief electrical impulse transmitted along the axon is called the: • • • • A) action potential. B) stimulus threshold. C) electrical cascade. D) sodium pump. 4. After neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, many are reabsorbed through a process called: • • • • A) synaptic transmission. B) reuptake. C) all-or-none. D) reabsorption. 5. The neurotransmitter ___ is important in memory. Depletion of it is found in those with Alzheimer’s • • • • A) dopamine B) GABA C) serotonin D) acetylcholine 6. The device called ___ provides moment-by-moment images of the brain’s changing activity and is noninvasive. • • • • A) EEG B) PET scan C) MRI D) fMRI 7. The ___ receives information from all the senses except smell. • • • • A) hippocampus B) amygdala C) thalamus D) angular gyrus 8. The ____ is located at the back of the brain and is responsible for muscle coordination, posture and equilibrium. • • • • A) corpus callosum B) reticular formation C) pons D) cerebellum 9.

Auditory information is received and processed in the: • • • • A) somatosensory cortex. B) temporal lobe. C) parietal lobe. D) frontal lobe. 11. An impaired use of language due to a brain lesion is known as: • • • • A) tomography. B) aphasia. C) plasticity. D) phrenology. 12.

In order for you to experience the pain of being stuck with a pin, ___ must first relay messages from your ankle to your central nervous system. • • • • A) the limbic system B) interneurons C) sensory neurons D) the reticular formation 17. When you’re stressed and your heart races, perspiration increases and pupils dilate, the ___ is activated. • • • • A) somatic nervous system B) parasympathetic branch C) sympathetic branch D) spinal reflex 18.
