AP Psych Unit Three
2023- 2024, Biology and Basis of Behaviors
Term | Definition |
---|---|
MS | attack on myelon sheath |
Gilil Cells | supports, nurish and protects nerons |
Action Potential | depolarization, going up, neural impulse |
Refraction Period | repolarization, going down, inactivites after neuron has fired |
Sodium Potassium Pump | if goes down under -70 resting potential this brings it back up |
Selectively Permiable | cell membrane only allows certain molecules to leave or enter membrane |
All or Nothing Response | neron cannot do a half response |
Biology Psychology | link bwtween biological and psychological processes |
Neuron | a nerve cell, buliding block of nervous system |
Synapse | junction between tip and neuron |
Neurotransmitter | chemical messages sent to neuron across synapse influence wheather neuron will create impulse |
Reuptake | neurontransmitter resporption by sending neuron |
Endorphins | painkillers/ control , morphine within, exercise increases |
Acetylcholine | muscle movement, memory and learning, too little alzheimers, mimics nicotine and bitulism |
Dopamine | movement, feel good, too little Parkinson, too little schizo |
Serotonin | mood stabilizer, undersupply is depression and prozac used to fix such |
Norepinephrine | adreninly, arousal, too little, depressed mood |
Gamma Aminobutyric Acid | major inhibitory = the break, decreasing chances of getting to threshold, undersupply is seizures, valium used to repair |
Glutamate | the pedal, opens channels, oversupply overstimulates brain |
Agonist | amps up, mposter, herion for example, brain can tell difference |
antagonist | amps |
MS | attacks myelon sheath on axon, auto immune disease |
Gilil Cells | Supports, nurish and protects neurons |
Restin Potential | at -70 |
