PSYCH 115 Exam 1 Questions and
Complete Solutions
Neuroanatomy ✅structure of the nervous system

Neurochemistry ✅focuses on the basic chemical composition and processes of the
nervous system

Neuroendocrinology ✅interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine
system

Neuropathology ✅nervous system disorders

Neuropharmacology ✅efects of drugs on neural activity / the study of compounds that
selectively affect the nervous system

Neurophysiology ✅study of the processes within neurons that use electrical and
chemical signals

Integrative Approach ✅explore the relationship between the physical matter of your
body (your nervous system and its signals) and how you think, act, and behave

Brain ✅- 3 pounds, composed of
- 78% water
- 10% fats
- 8% protein

Neurons ✅- specialized cells that are capable of sending and receiving chemical
signals
- ~80 billion in the human brain
- only 20% of brain cells

Nucleus ✅contains DNA

Endoplasmic Reticulum ✅folded membranes that are important for the synthesis of
fats and proteins

Ribosomes ✅found on the endoplasmic reticulum and are involved in synthesizing
proteins

Golgi Complex ✅packages proteins into vesicles for transport

,Microtubules ✅transport packaged proteins to other parts of the cell

Elegans (roundworm) ✅- 302 neurons
- sensory neurons (receive input) and motor neurons (move body)
- Neurons organized into nerve net
- no cental processing area or respiratory or circulatory system

Aplysia Californica (sea slug) ✅- 18000 neurons
- Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and also interneurons (modulate activity)
- Neurons organized into circuits with specific functions

Rattus Norvegicus (rat) ✅- 50 million neurons
- Nervous system has clear diversions, CNS and PNS
- Distinct central processing area (brain)
- Neurons organized into complex and distributed circuits

Brain Size ✅- less about the size and more about proportions
- Humans have disproportionately large cerebral cortex for language and reasoning

How many cells make up the nervous system? ✅- 100's of billions of cells
- make trillions of connections

Action Potential ✅a rapid electrical signal that travels along the axon of a neuron
- increases in frequency with an increase in strength
- All or none
- Does not degrade along the axon (because of Sodium channels covering the axon)

Neurotransmitter ✅chemical messenger between neurons

What forms does a signal go through when traveling through neurons? ✅chemical to
electrical to chemical

Resting membrane potential ✅- electrical-potential difference across the cell
membrane
- rest = uneven distribution of + & - ions
- Na+ & Cl- are more outside; K+ & large -charged proteins are more inside
- -70mV membrane potential
-inside is more negative than outside

Membrane Potential ✅- difference in electrical charge between inside and outside the
cell membrane
- measured with electrodes

Post-synaptic potential ✅Electrical nature of input to dendrites

, Lipid Bilayer ✅- 2 layers of fat molecules
- serves as cell membrane for neurons
- proteins sit on the bilayer and communicate for the cell

Ion Channels ✅- pores that enable ions to pass across the membrane
- opening and closing is a passive process (does not require energy)

Ions ✅- small electrically charged molecules
- anions (-) & cations (+)
- dissolved in intracellular fluid
- separated by cell membrane from extracellular fluid

What maintains the Resting Membrane Potential? ✅1. Concentration Gradients
2. Electrostatic Pressure
3. Membrane Permeability
4. Active Ion Transport

1. Concentration Gradients ✅- a chemical driving force
- Diffusion (high to low)
- K+ leaves, Cl- & Na+ enter

2. Electrostatic Pressure ✅- an electrical driving force
- opposites attract (+ & -)
- like repel (+ & +, - & -)

3. Membrane Permeability ✅- voltage-gated ion channels
- rest: K+ open (-90mV), Cl- open (-70mV), Na+ mostly closed (-50mV)

4. Active Ion Transport ✅- Na+/K+ Pump
- uses ATP to pump 3 Na+ ions out & 2 K+ ions in
- ATP from mitochondria

What is really happening at rest ✅K+ wants to leave (leaky)
Cl- is in equilibrium (open)
Na+ wants to enter (mostly closed)

Synapse ✅the point of communication between two neurons

Synaptic Cleft ✅little space seperating the neurons

Hyperpolarization ✅- increase in membrane potential
- inside more negative than outside
