The biology of behavior
Neurons will fire regardless of the level of stimulation.
False
The neural networks that fan out from the central nervous system to various parts of the body are called the
Peripheral nervous system
What is the difference between pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics?
Pharmacodynamics is what the drug does to the body. Pharmacokinetics is what the body does to the drug.
is a term used to describe the path that drugs take through our body, from start to finish.
Pharmacokinetics
One of the primary functions of the hypothalamus is homeostasis.
True
The regulates physiological functions such as respiration, heart rate, temperature, and digestion and includes the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
Autonomic nervous system
The Cerebellum's principal function is:
Coordinating motor activity and maintaining balance
Low levels of serotonin may be associated with:
Depression
The refractory period is:
A period where the cell cannot fire
The nervous system includes
All of the above
The process by which a nerve cell recaptures some of the neurotransmitters has released is called:
Reuptake
The parietal lobes are involved in:
Sensation and physical movement?
A neurotransmitter, the bulk of which is found in the gut, where it regulates intestinal activity.
Serotonin
The space between the ends of one cell's axon and another cell's dendrites is a
Synapse
A specialized cell or organ that carries out a response to a nerve impulse.
effector
Finish the quote by Albert Einstein, "Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind.
The part of the brain that is responsible for reasoning and assessing risk in decision making
Frontal lobe
A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an imaging technique that detects subtle changes in magnetic fields in the body related to blood oxygen level.
False
Psychoactive drugs:
Both a and c
Central nervous system (CNS): The human nervous system, which includes the. and the
Brain/spinal cord
Revonsuo's dream theory suggests:
Dreams provide us the opportunity to practice responding to threats
The Sympathetic nervous system, part of the autonomic nervous system, instigates the physiological responses that accompany behavior.
Emotional
Dendrites are:
Hair-like extensions emanating from the cell body of the neuron that receives impulses
Neurons can carry impulses at speeds of nearly per hour.
NOT 160
Somatic system is part of the peripheral nervous system concerned with and
NOT all of the above
Map out the schematic conception of the components of the sensorimotor arc:
NOT neurons begin to signal
The limbic system is responsible for all of the following EXCEPT:
NOT temperature
All of the following are true about neurons EXCEPT:
NOT. They are specialized
Nerves are made up of bundles of
Neurons
are the building blocks of the brain and are divided into _ categories.
Neurons three
One neuron can communicate with another neuron by sending little chemical messengers called
Neurotransmitters
Is defined as the ability to change
Plasticity
The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis maintains that language is essential for and determines thought.
True
We possess nearly all our brain cells at birth.
True
Plasticity is the ability to change.
True
