central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord
the sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest
peripheral nervous system
of the body
the division of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body's skeletal
somatic nervous system
muscles
the part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles
autonomic nervous system of the internal organs (such as the heart). Its sympathetic division arouses; its
parasympathetic division calms.
part of the autonomic system that controls the "flight-or-fight" response in
sympathetic nervous system
organisms.
the division of the autonomic nervous system that calms the body, conserving its
parasympathetic nervous system
energy
A neurotransmitter associated with movement, attention and learning and the brain's
Dopamine
pleasure and reward system.
A neurotransmitter that enables learning and memory and also triggers muscle
Acetylcholine
contraction
Norepinephrine A neurotransmitter involved in arousal, as well as in learning and mood regulation
Serotonin A neurotransmitter that affects hunger,sleep, arousal, and mood.

, Neurotransmitter that reduces activity across the synaptic cleft and thus inhibits a
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
range of behaviors and emotions, especially generalized anxiety.
Glycine an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the spine.
enkephalins and endorphins pain killing properties extracted from brain and pituitary gland.
A process in which neurotransmitters are sponged up from the synaptic cleft by the
Reuptake
presynaptic membrane.
Part of the brainstem that controls vital life-sustaining functions such as heartbeat,
medulla oblongata
breathing, blood pressure, and digestion.
Pons A brain structure that relays information from the cerebellum to the rest of the brain
A small part of the brain above the pons that integrates sensory information and
Midbrain
relays it upward.
Cerebellum A large structure of the hindbrain that controls fine motor skills.
the brain's sensory switchboard, located on top of the brainstem; it directs messages
Thalamus to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum
and medulla
Involved in control of several functional pathways for sensory, motor, and reticular
Subthalamus
function
A neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities
Hypothalamus (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the
pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward.
neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres; associated with emotions
limbic system
and drives
Largest part of the brain; coordinates thought, reasoning, movement, and memory,
Cerebrum
includes the cerebral cortex and the white matter beneath it.
A region of the cerebral cortex that has specialized areas for movement, abstract
frontal lobe
thinking, planning, memory, and judgement
parietal lobe receives sensory input for touch and body position
temporal lobe A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for hearing and language.
occipital lobe A region of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information
Beer and Light beer anywhere between 3-6% alcohol
wine and wine coolers coolers contain 4-9% alcohol. Table wine contains 10-14% alcohol.
vodka, whiskey, gin and brandy. Sold 40-50% alcohol content with proof equally
spirits
twice the alcohol content.
standard drink 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, 1.5 oz liquor
No digestion, absorbed by simple diffusion. 20% directly from empty stomach, 80%
alcohol absorption
absorbed in duodenum and jejunum
uniformly throughout tissues and bodily fluids
alcohol distribution
readily crosses blood brain barrier and placenta barrier (fetal damage)
Two to five percent of all alcohol is eliminated unchanged in urine, perspiration, and
alcohol elimination respiration. The remainder must be eliminated through detoxification and oxidation
process by which can only be done by the liver.
Alcohol's effect on the digestive system gas and indigestion in the short term, longer exposure can result in ulcers
