Neurophysiology

Which part of the brain controls vital functions such as breathing and heart rate?

• Diencephalon
• Frontal Lobe
• Brain Stem
• Cerebellum

What is the part highlighted in red?

• Cerebrum
• Cerebellum
• Brain Stem
• Diencephalon

The part of the neuron that insulates the axon and increases the speed of the neural message within the neuron.

• Synapse
• Dendrite
• Myelin Sheath
• Axon Terminal Button

This part of the neuron stores then releases neurotransmitters into the synapse.

• Axon 
• Dendrite
• Myelin Sheath
• Axon Terminal

This part of the neuron receives chemical messages from the neurotransmitters of other neurons. It is labeled A in the diagram.

• Dendrite

• Axon

• Axon Terminal

• Cell Body

The long, fiber like part of a neuron which the cell sends information to receiving neurons. Labelled D in diagram.

• Synapse

• Axon

• Axon Terminal

• Dendrite

Which way does an impulse travel

• From dendrite to axon and out axon terminal

• From axon to axon and out dendrite terminal

• From axon to dendrite and out axon terminal

• From cell body to dendrite and out axon terminal
