Brain and Behavior

What covers the axon of some neurons and speeds impulses?

• Dendrites

• Myelin Sheath

• Synaspe

• Dopamine

What is a neuron?

• A nerve cell

• A neural impulse that travels down the axon

• Space between the axon tip and the dendrite

• Brain and spinal cord

What would result if you were to sustain damage to your motor cortex?

• Lack of sight

• Lack of control over voluntary movements

• Lack of sensation

• Lack of hearing

What examples deal with the sympathetic nervous system?

• Laying in bed listening to music

• Rocking back and forth outside

• Hanging off of a cliff

• Hitting a baseball

What is the function of the somatic nervous system?

• Controls the glands and muscles of the internal organs

• Controls the body's skeletal muscles

• Arouses the body in stressful situations

• Calms the body to conserve energy

In what order does information travel through a neuron?

• Soma (cell body), Dendrites, Axon, Terminal Buttons

• Terminal Buttons, Axon, Soma (cell body), Dendrites

• Dendrites, Soma (cell body), Axon, Terminal Buttons

• Dendrites, Axon, Soma (cell body), Terminal Buttons

This is the electrical charge that travels down an axon when a neuron is firing

• Resting Potential
• Action Potential
• Threshold
• Refractory Period

The junction between 2 neurons is the

• Dendrite

• Axon

• Myelin Sheath

• Synapse

What does the Central Nervous System include?

• The centre of each nerve cell

• The nerves that control the main functions of the body, such as heart rate and blood pressure

• The brain and spinal cord

• The nerves that prepare the body for fight or flight response

What is this?

• Cerebrum
• Cerebellum
• Brain Stem
• Diencephalon
