PSY final exam

Sympathetic Nervous System

• Creates a bond between neurons during action potential

• The branch of the autonomic nervous system helps prepare the body for an emergency

• Decrease the likelihood of the next neuron firing an action potential

Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Branch of autonomic nervous system that conserves bodily resources "Rest and digest"

• The branch of the autonomic nervous system helps prepare the body for an emergency

• Creates a bond between neurons during action potential

• Decrease the likelihood of the next neuron firing an action potential

Dendrites

• "Branch like structure" used to receive information

• Contains cell body

• Hold nervous system together.

• "Long thin fiber" sends and transmit electrical impulse.

Agonist

• A chemical that mimics the action of a neurotransmitter

• Chemical that mimics the neurons

• Chemical messengers that neurons use to communicate at the synapse

• A chemical that opposes the action of a neurotransmitter

Antagonist

• A chemical that opposes the action of a neurotransmitter

• A chemical that Types the action of a neurotransmitter

• A chemical that copies the action of a neurotransmitter

• A chemical that controls the action of a neurotransmitter

Corpus Callosum

• The brain structure that connects the two cerebral hemispheres

• A chemical that controls the action of a neurotransmitter

• Similar to dendrite and has a long thin fiber

• Connects all the nerves together

Action Potential

• "Firing" a very brief shift in a neuron's electrical charge that travels along an axon.

• "Firing" Negative charge when the cell is inactive

• "Firing" contains the axon in a sac-like structure

• "Firing " contributes to the axon by sending signals

Neurotransmitter

• Chemical messengers that neurons use to communicate at the synapse

• Increases the likelihood the next neuron will fire an action potential.

• Cells found throughout the nervous system that provide structual support for neurons.

• A very brief shift in a neuron's negative charge and honestly that's it.

EEG

• Instrument that measures activity in brain

• Helps bond atoms together

• Connects with your ego to establish decisions

Right Hemisphere

• More creative

• Logical

• Mathmatically
