Chapter 2 Powerpoint Questions
Q1 • Neuroscience
A1 • A branch of the life sciences that deals with the structure and function of neurons, nerves, and nervous tissue
Q2 • Computed tomography (CT)
A2 • Brain imaging method using computer controlled x-rays of the brain
Q3 • Dendrites
A3 • Branchlike structures that receive messages from other neurons
Q4 • Soma
A4 • The part of the neuron called the cell body that keeps the entire cell alive and functioning
Q5 • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
A5 • Brain-imaging method using radio waves and magnetic fields of the body to produce detailed images of the brain
Q6 • Sympathetic divisions (fight or flight)
A6 • Part of the ANS that is responsible for reacting to stressful evens and bodily arousal
Q7 • Agonists
A7 • Chemical substances that mimic or enhance the effects of a neurotransmitter on the receptor sites of the next cell, increasing or decreasing the activity of that cell
Q8 • Input into the nervous system is accomplished by
A8 • Sensory neurons/ afferent neurons
Q9 • Nerves
A9 • Bundles of axons coated in myelin that travel together through the body.
Q10 • Action potential
A10 • The release of the neural impulse consisting of a reversal of the electrical charge within the axon
Q11 • Electroencephalogram (EEG)
A11 • A recording of the electrical activity of large groups of cortical neurons just below the skull, most often using scalp electrodes.
Q12 • The smallest of glial cells that engulf and break down dead and dying neurons
A12 • microglia
Q13 • SSRI
A13 • Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
Q14 • Antagonists
A14 • Chemical substances that block or reduce a cell’s response to the action of other chemicals or neurotransmitters
Q15 • Function of the brain
A15 • Interprets and stores information and sends orders to muscles, glands, organs
Q16 • What muscles are impacted by acetylcholine
A16 • Skeletal muscles are stimulated; cardiac muscle is slowed
Q17 • Three parts to a neuron
A17 • 1) Soma, 2) dendrites, 3) axons
Q18 • Positron emission tomography
A18 • Brain-imaging method in which a radioactive sugar is injected into the subject and a computer compiles a color-coded image of the activity of the brain
Q19 • Parasympathetic division
A19 • Part of the ANS that restores the body to normal functioning after arousal and is responsible for the day to day functioning of the organs and glands.
Q20 • Hypothalamus
A20 • Small structure in the brain located below the thalamus and directly above the pituitary gland, responsible for motivational behavior such as sleep, hunger, thirst, and sex
Q21 • The peripheral nervous system is made up of what two further divisions
A21 • Autonomic nervous system and somatic nervous system
Q22 • Enzymatic degradation
A22 • Process by which structure of neurotransmitter is altered so it can no longer act on a receptor.
Q23 • The defining feature of the central nervous system
A23 • The components are encased in bone
Q24 • Endocrine glands
A24 • Glands that secrete chemicals called hormones directly into bloodstream
Q25 • Three functions of the nervous system are
