Bio psych PPT Flashcards
Does the nervous system impact behavior
True (Strong belief)
Blind Sight
Being blind but knowing your surroundings
Split Brain
Surgery that cuts the corpus callosum in two
Nucleus
Stored DNA
Mitochondria
ATP from the Krebs Cycle
Golgi apparatus
Packages it all together
Ribosome
Makes protein (DNA -> RNA -> Protein)
Endoplasmic reticulum
Tube system in cell (Rough or soft)
Bi-lipid membrane
Surrounds cells and is semi-permable
lysosomes
Gets rid of waste cells
What is a phenotype
Genes that are observable (Eye color, behavior)
Genotype
What genes are already present
What is true about the correlation of genotypes and phenotypes
Phenotypes do not determine genotypes
Tactile stimulation
Brain matter moves energy around body
What is true about the plasticity of the nervous system
It is modifiable over time
What are the 4 things that can happen to neurotransmitters in the synapse
- Endocytosis (Sucked back)
- Drift away (Die)
- Enzymes destroy neurotransmitters
- Makes it to postsynaptic membrane
Name the 2 cells in the nervous system
Neurons and glia
Purpose of dendrites
Where information starts in a neuron
Purpose of axon hillic
Decides to create an action potential or not
Purpose of an axon
Where the action potential propagates through
Purpose of terminal button
Where information leaves before reaching the synapse
What is an action potential
Electrical communication within a neuron
What are the two elements needed for an action potential
Na+ (sodium) and K+ (potassium)
Which way do Na+ and K+ move
Sodium OUT and potassium IN
