|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central nervous system (CNS) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Peripheral nervous system (PNS) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the part of the peripheral nervous system that picks up stimuli from the outside world, coordinates movements, and performs other consciously controlled tasks
🗑
|
||||
| show | the part of the peripheral nervous system that performs tasks that are not consciously controlled
🗑
|
||||
| show | is the part of the autonomic nervous system that is always active and acts as a brake for organs.
🗑
|
||||
| Parasympathetic nervous system | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | excitable cells that receive different types of stimulation; the building blocks of the nervous system
🗑
|
||||
| show | relatively short, bushy, branch-like structures that emerge from the neuron's cell body and receive signals from adjoining neurons
🗑
|
||||
| Soma | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a cable-like extension that transmits a signal away from a neuron's soma toward the target of communication
🗑
|
||||
| show | a fatty substance that coats and insulates axons
🗑
|
||||
| Terminal buttons | show 🗑
|
||||
| Sensory neurons | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | neurons that carry information away from the central nervous system to operate muscles and glands
🗑
|
||||
| Interneurons | show 🗑
|
||||
| Threshold | show 🗑
|
||||
| Synapse | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a chemical message created by a synapse from an electric message transmitted by terminal buttons
🗑
|
||||
| Spinal cord | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | rapid and automatic neuromuscular actions generated in response to a specific stimulus
🗑
|
||||
| Brainstem | show 🗑
|
||||
| Limbic system | show 🗑
|
||||
| Medulla | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a flexible ability to grow and change
🗑
|
||||
| Thalamus | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | an outer part of the brain that is mainly involved in the coordination of sensory and motor information
🗑
|
||||
| show | a part of the brain that coordinates muscle movements and maintains equilibrium. It is involved in conditioning and forming procedural memories and habits related to movement
🗑
|
||||
| show | part of the limbic system; involved in fear detection and conditioning; it is essential for unconscious emotional responses such as the fight-or-flight response
🗑
|
||||
| Hypothalamus | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a physiological response to stressors, triggered by the amygdala, in which the body becomes prepared for action
🗑
|
||||
| show | involved in the release of hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, development, tissue function, and mood from the caudate and putamen to the thalamus
🗑
|
||||
| show | secretes human growth hormone and influences all other hormone-secreting glands
🗑
|
||||
| Gray matter | show 🗑
|
||||
| Occipital lobes | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | parts of the brain involved in auditory processing
🗑
|
||||
| Frontal lobes | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a part of the brain that is responsible for generating the neural impulses that control the execution of movements
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
