ANSWER:Action potential reaches axon terminal, calcium ion channels open, vesicles
fuse with membrane, diffusion of neurotransmitter

Norepinephrine and dopamine are examples of transmitters whose synaptic activity
is terminated by - ANSWER:reuptake
The temporary hyperpolarization that occurs at the end of the action potential is
caused by the - ANSWER:slower closing of the K + channels.
The resting membrane potential is - ANSWER:partially established by the uneven

ANSWER:Motor information to muscles
The basal ganglia are particularly implicated in - ANSWER:movement
The neuron doctrine stipulates that neurons - ANSWER:are not continuous with one
another.
Which neuroanatomical method provides an outline of an entire neuronal cell body,
allowing measurement of cell body size and density? - ANSWER:Nissl stain
The brain and spinal cord are wrapped in protective membranes known collectively
as the - ANSWER:meninges
, The notion of dualism as proposed by Descartes stated that - ANSWER:humans have
a nonmaterial soul and a material body that are not the same.
The measurable co-occurrence of a behavior and somatic change is a -
ANSWER:correlation

ANSWER:How does wing span affect attraction to the opposite sex in birds?
Which statement is true? - ANSWER:If half of the brain of a child is removed, the
child will still develop normal intelligence.
Which protocol is an example of a correlation study? - ANSWER:Measuring the
extent of brain abnormalities in people with schizophrenia
Scientific explanations usually involve analysis on a simpler or more basic level of
organization than that of the structure or function to be explained. This approach is
known as - ANSWER:reductionism
The term "somatic intervention" is used to describe - ANSWER:research procedures
that alter the structure or function of the body.
