|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | A branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior. Some biological psychologists call themselves behavioral neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, behavior geneticists, physiological psychologists, or biopsychologists.
🗑
|
||||
| Neuron | show 🗑
|
||||
| Sensory Neurons | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Neurons that carry outgoing information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.
🗑
|
||||
| Interneurons | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages and conduct impulses toward the cell body.
🗑
|
||||
| Axon | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A layer of fatty tissue segmentally encasing the fibers of many neurons; enables vastly greater transmission speed of neural impulses as the impulse hops from one node to the next.
🗑
|
||||
| Action Potential | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron. The tiny gap at this junction is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons.When released by the sending neuron, they travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing whether it will generate a neural impulse.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A neurotransmitter's reabsorption by the sending neuron.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Natural, opiatelike neurotransmitters linked to pain control and to pleasure.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The body's speedy, electrochemical communication network, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems.
🗑
|
||||
| Central Nervous System (CNS) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Bundled axons that form neural "cables" connecting the central nervous system with muscles, glands, and sense organs.
🗑
|
||||
| Somatic Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| Autonomic Nervous System | show 🗑
|
||||
| Sympathetic Nervous System | show 🗑
|

| Parasympathetic Nervous System | show 🗑

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.
