2
Q
Cerebral cortex
A
Intelligence
3
Q
Medulla
A
Breathing
4
Q
Cerebellum
A
Coordination of muscular activity
5
Q
In what form do impulses pass along nerve cells
A
Electrical
6
Q
Reflex
A
Stimulus Sensory neuron Synapse Relay neuron Synapse Motor neuron Response
7
Q
Synapse
A
Microscope gaps
Electrical signals cannot cross
So neurotransmitter are released to cross the gap
8
Q
Why do we need synapses
A
So a single stimulus can have several response
A single response to a variety of stimuli
9
Q
How do we study the brain
A
Damaged brains
Electrical stimulation
MRI Scan
