Psychology Review of Neuron, Neurotransmitters, Nervous sys.

What are the branched nerve fibers that receive impluses toward the cell body of a neuron?

• Dendrites

• Axon

• Terminal

• Neuron

 What conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body?

• Axon
• Dendrite
• Terminal
• Perkinje Fibers

branch of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord

• Central Nervous System
• Peripheral Nervous System
• Brain Stem
• Limbic System

"fight or flight" division of ANS (heart rate increases, blood vessels dilate, respiration increases, etc.)

• Sympathetic ANS
• Parasympathetic ANS
• PNS
• CNS

What part of the neuron receives the message from the previous neuron?

• Terminal Fibers
• Dendrites
• Cell Body
• Myelin

What part of the neuron covers the axon and allows for the impulse to travel quickly?

• Dendrite
• Synapse
• Myelin
• Neurotransmitters

What is the name of the chemical message that travels across the synapse?

• Axon
• Dendrite
• Action Potential

What part of the neuron can be described as a tail like structure that carries the impulse away from the cell body?

• Axon
• Cell Body
• Dendrites
• Synapse

Which of the following is the correct order of the direction of a message?

• Dendrite-Cell Body-Axon-Synapse
• Synapse-Cell Body-Axon-Dendrite
• Dendrite-Synapse-Cell Body-Axon
• Axon-Cell Body-Dendrite-Synapse

Which is the brief electrical charge sent down the axon when a neuron receives enough excitatory signals?

• Neurotransmitter

• Action Potential

• Threshold

• Refractory period
