This part of the
neuron receives
incoming messages
Dendrite
This is the type of
“potential” a
neuron has when it
holds a negative
charge
Resting
This fatty white
substance covers the
axons of some neurons
Myelin
Sheath
This positively charged
ion flows into a neuron
to depolarize it.
Sodium
•This is another name for motor
neurons
Efferent
The nervous system is
broken up into the
central and
____________ nervous
systems.
Peripheral
This division of the PNS arouses
and calms your body
automatically.
autonomic
This division of the autonomic
nervous system provokes the
following responses:
1. Elevated heart rate
2. Fast breathing
3. Perspiration
Sympathetic
This structure controls
reflexes and carries
sensory and motor
messages to and from the
brain.
Spinal Cord
This subdivision
of the peripheral
nervous system
contains afferent
and efferent
neurons.
Somatic
This brain structure
communicates with your
pineal gland to control the
sleep-wake cycle.
Pons
Decision-making,
moral judgments,
voluntary movement
and personality are all
dictated by this
portion of the cortex.
Frontal lobe
This network of neurons
alerts the higher brain to
incoming messages and thus
controls levels of arousal;
when asleep, it is subdued.
Reticular
Formation
The thalamus is a “relay
station” that processes
every sense but this one.
smell
This is the brain
center involved in
sexual excitement

______________.
estrogen
Diabetes results
from irregularities in
insulin production,
which is controlled
by this gland.
Pancreas
You are tired. This must
mean your pineal gland
released the hormone
_______________.
Melatonin
This is known as the
“master” gland.
Pituitary

the production of this
hormone leads to a
misdiagnosis of depression
due to its influence on weight
and energy levels.
Thyroxin
•These types of studies
require “inbreeding” of
the same animal to see
how likely it is that genes
will produce specific
traits in the offspring.
Strain
Studies of this type take
a close look of the
similarities between nonbiological siblings and
children.
Adoption
•These twins have
100% of their genes in
common.
Identical
This is the term for
eliminating “weaker”
groups of people who
possess undesirable genes;
it is being raised as an
ethical issue in the
conversation about
mapping genes.
Genocide; Eugenics
This is the name of the
project aimed at
mapping the entire
genetic code.
Human
Genome Project

patients to determine
