Q

Could these correlations prove causation?

A

A correlation (the dots) could never tell how thats why u need to experiment. (An experiment can provide evidence of causation, while a correlation can never prove causation you dont know if A caused B or B caused A it could be unknown variable caused C

Q

What is the soma

A

cellbody of the neuron

28
Q

What is the dendrite

A

Part of the neuron that receives info from other neoruons

29
Q

what is the axon

A

part of the neuron which sends info to other neurons

30
Q

what is the Myelin

A

it is fatty substance which coats the axon (speeds up the neural impulse)

31
Q

what are Gilial cells

A

cells but they are not neurons, they produce myelin, hold neurons in place

32
Q

90% are what cells and what are cells are 10%

A

90% of cells are gilial cells, 10% of cells in brain are neurons

33
Q

the synapse is between what, and what does it do

The space between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron is called:
Neurotransmitter
Nerves
Action Potential
Synapse
Cerebellum

A

it is between the axon and sends info, synapse

34
Q

what are nerves

A

bundles of mylein coated axons which travel throughout body

35
Q

resting potential is when a…

A
  • state of neuron when not firing a neural impusle
36
Q

inside of neruon is a what change and outside of it is a what change

A

inside of a neuron is a negative change and outside of a neuron Is a positive change

37
Q

when the neuron is in its action potential, what does it do?

A

the electric impulse travels down the axon of a neuron and this impulse changes the cell’s charge from negative to positive

38
Q

the neuron fires completely or not at all, true or false

A

true

39
Q

If the threshold is reached will the neuron fire or not

A

yes it will fire

40
Q

where is the Synaptic Vesicles found at

A

at the end of an axon contains chemicals called neurotransmitters

41
Q

where is the Neurotransmittors at

A

found in the synapse, synaptic vesicles

42
Q

description of receptor sites

A
  • holes in the surface of dendrites, shaped to fit in certain transmitters (like a key)
43
Q

Presynaptic Neuron is when a neuron…

A

releases transmitters into the synapse

44
Q

Postsynaptic Neuron is when a neuron..

A

receives neurotransmitters from the synapse

45
Q

where are Neurotransmittors found in

A

the synapse between neurons

46
Q

what do the Excitatory NeuroTransmittors cause

A

receiving cells to fire

47
Q

what do the Inhibitory NeuroTransmittors cause

A

reciving cells to stop firing

48
Q

agonist are chemicals which..

A

mimics the effect of a neurotransmitter

49
Q

Antagonist block..

A

neurons response to other transmitters

50
Q

endorphins are

A

natural opiates of the body, released to reduce pain

51
Q

Reuptakes is a process by which what

A

neurotransmitters are taken back into the presynaptic neuron

52
Q

what are the 3 types of neurons

A
  1. Sensory Neurons
  2. Motor Neurons
  3. Interneruons
53
Q

what does the sensory Neuron do

A

carry messages from the senses to the central nervous system

54
Q

what do Motor Neurons do

A

carry messages from the central nervous system to the muscles

55
Q

what do interneruons do and where are they found

A

they are found in central of spinal cored and they receive info from sensory neurons,

56
Q

what is an example of a reflex arc

A

ur hands touches a stove and it is hot and ur hand immiteditaly moves away

57
Q

what are the 4 lobes of the brain

A

Fronal lobe
Parietal Lobe
Occipital Lobe
Temporal Lobe

58
Q

where is the frontal lobe and what does it do

A

front, top part of the brain and it makes decisions, persoanlity/speech

59
Q

where is the parietal lobe and what does it do

A

behind frontal lobe (touch and temperature)

60
Q

where is the occipital lobe and what does it do

A

it is located at the back of brain (vision centre)

61
Q

where is the temporal lobe and what does it do

A

located at side temporal region (hearing)

62
Q

what are the parts of the brain (COTHHAM)

A

Crebellum, Olfactory Bulb, Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Hippocampus, Amygdala, Medulla

63
Q

what do the parts of the brain do (COTHHAM)

A

C rebellum - balance
O lfactory Bulb - sense of smell
T halamus - all the senses (smell is only sense that cant be damaged to thamulus)
H ypothalamus - sleep, hunger, thirst, sex
H ippocampus: memory
A mygdala - fear
M edulla - breathing, heart rate

64
Q

where is the Brocas Area

A

located left frontal lobe of most ppl

65
Q

What happens when u have brocas aphasia

A

unable to speak, able to understand

66
Q

where is the Wernicke’s aphasia

A

it is located left temporal lobe of most ppl

67
Q

what happens when u have Wenicke Aphasia

A

unable to understand, able to speech but doesnt make sense
