Cells/Neurons/Brain Review
Cells
Vocabulary: What are they and what do they do?
Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic
Vesicles
Cytoskeleton
Lysosome
Mitochondria
Flagella
Cell Membrane
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Vacuole
Nucleus
Ribosomes
Cytoplasm
Chloroplast
Golgi Apparatus
Cell Wall
Cilia
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Concepts:
 What are the differences between a prokaryote and a eukaryote? How big is each?

What are the key differences between a plant and animal cell? What three organelles
do plant cells have that animal cells do not?

What is the role of the plasma membrane in a cell?

What is the role of a membrane that surrounds an organelle?

What is the difference in structure and function of the Rough Endoplasmic
Reticulum and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?

What is the role of the Golgi Body/Complex/Apparatus in the cell?

How do the Golgi Body, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Plasma Membrane, Vesicles
and Lysosomes all work together to help neurons work?

Draw an animal cell and a plant cell on a blank sheet of paper. Using the appropriate
structures from the vocabulary list above, label the organelles and other structures
wherever they occur. What is the organelle? What is the function of the organelle?
Neuron/ Brain Concepts
Vocabulary
Neurotransmitter
Dendrite
Cones
Synapse
Cell Body
Iris
Synaptic Cleft
Axon
Rods
Neuron
Retina
Proprioceptors
Concepts
 What is the role of a neuron in the body? (Nerve Signaling article)

Diagram a neuron labeling cell body, dendrites, axon and nucleus.

What is the role of dopamine (it’s a neurotransmitter) in neuron communication?

Be able to explain how a neuron sends an action potential from one cell to another
cell. (Anatomy of a Neuron/How do Neurons Communicate? sheet from computer))

Be able to explain how a drug like Cocaine abnormally stimulates the next neuron by
blocking reuptake of dopamine through transporter proteins. (How Do Drugs Work?)

Be able to explain how drugs like Methamphetamines and Nicotine abnormally
stimulates the next neuron by sending more neurotransmitters than normal. (How Do
Drugs Work?)

Why is it advantages to have a compartmentalized brain? (The Brain computer
activity with PET scans)

Understand that we feel good when we do certain things because the reward system in
the brain is stimulated. Understand why we would repeat an activity to get another
reward. (rat experiment)

Explain how glasses help people see clearly. (The Nervous System and Your Senses)

Explain how you know where your body parts are even when your eyes are closed.
(The Nervous System and Your Senses)

Why do you have a blind spot in each eye? What causes it? (The Nervous System and
Your Senses)
