, True / False
4. axon
Definition: the extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through which messages pass
to other neurons or to muscles or glands
Application: Messages are sent down my neuron's axon to go to the synaptic vesicles.
5. myelin sheath
Definition: 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
Application: The more one practices the more their axon is myelinated and the better they are at the thing
they are practicing for.
6. endorphins
Defintion: "morphine within"- natural, opiatelike neurotransmitters linked to pain control and to pleasure
Application: People who get a "runner's high" are receiving lots of endorphins.
1. biological psychology
Definition: a branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior
Application: When something was wrong with Tommy's left hemispherical lobe, they immediately began
to search for biological psychologists.
2. neuron
Definition: a nerve cell; the basic building block of the nervous system
Application: Neurons receive and send messages.
3. dendrites
Definition: the bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages and conduct impulses
toward the cell
Application: The way the messages in my brain are transferred are through the dendrites.
7. refractory period
Defintion: a resting period after orgasm, during which a man cannot achieve another orgasm
Application: One's organs need to reset.
8. threshold
Definition: the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse
Application: When a neuron reaches threshold the message is sent down the axon to eventually continue
on to another neuron.
9. all-or-none response
Definition: when a neuron will either reach threshold or withhold the information
Application: If the message is important enough to send it would be considered "all".
10. synapse
Definition: the junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the
receiving neuron
Application: The synapse continues on the message to the next neuron's receptor site.
11. neurotransmitters
Definition: chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between neurons. When released by the
sending neuron, neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptor site son the receiving
