Biological Psych: The scientific study of the links between biological and psychological processes
Neuron: A nerve cell; the basic building block of the nervous system
Dentrites: Neurons bushy, branching extentions that revieve messages and conduct impulses toward the cell body
Axon: The neuron extention that passes messages through its branches to other neurons or to muscles or glands
Myelin sheath: a fatty tissue layer segmentally encasing the axons of some neurons; enables vastly greater transmission speed as a neural impulses hop from sausage- like node to the next
Action potential: A neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon
Refractory period: A period of inactivity after a neuron has fired
Threshold: The level of stimulation required to trigger a neutral impulse
All or none response: A neurons reaction of either firing or not firing
Synapse: The junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dentrite or cell body of the receiving neuron. The tiny gap at this junction is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft
Neurotransmitters: Chemical messangers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons. When released by the sending neuron, neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing whether or not that neuron will generate a neural impulse
Reputake: A neurotransmitters reabsorption by the sending neuron.
Endorphins: "Morphines within"  natural opiate like neurotransmitters linked to pain conttol and pleasure
Agonist: A molecule that, by binding to a receptor site, inhibits or blocks a response
Antagonist: A molecule that by binding to a receptor site, inhibits or blocks a response]]> 2016-09-16 15:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/124396769 ashleymur5145 https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/124780065 Understand the process of transmission and parts of a neuron]]> 2016-09-19 15:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/124780065 ashleymur5145 https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/125115963 Identify the different types of neurotransmitters and be ready for my neuron quiz tomorrow]]> 2016-09-20 15:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/125115963 ashleymur5145 https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/125756950 Target: Identify the different parts of the brain

Reflect Phineas Gage: Its normal to experience epilepsy with these types of injuries and he could still live fine with this huge accident and after he even pukes up some of his brain. The only thing that happens was that he lost his personality. To be human it means to be able to have emotion and interaction with other humans and of course to have physical components of a human and to be wrong and make mistakes because we are not computers and we do not automatically know the perfect or right answer per say, but we learn from our wrong doings to help shape each own individual human self.]]> 2016-09-27 15:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/126709016 ashleymur5145 https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/126991389 understand endocrine system and how drugs effect the body]]> 2016-09-28 14:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/126991389 ashleymur5145 https://padlet.com/ashleymur5145/bk0grvlq0o5p/wish/127287120 Understand a split brain person (Joe) by: Gaczaniga

what part of brain does surger sever- Corpus callosum, connect left and right hemisphere

Opposition of brain and body: sensory(senses) and motor cortex (movement)differs and left and right side see parts not whole piece in one eye. Left see right say they saw. Right hemisphere Speak what left hemisphere saw.speaking left brain makes a reason up to why he chose bell when its music even thought there were better picture options to pick music.Left needs reason and logical. Right needs facial recognition and is more artistic.
