Biology and Behavior Notes Review

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

What is this? It coordinates muscle movements.

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brain Stem

• Diencephalon

What structure is bright blue and located at bottom of the brain and controls the information sent between brain and rest of the body?

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brain Stem

What structure is grey in this picture. It controls conscious thought and memory?

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brain Stem

Which part of the brain controls your blood pressure and heart rate?

• brain stem

• cerebrum

• cerebellum

• adrenal gland

The nervous system subdivision that is composed of the brain and spinal cord.

• Autonomic Nervous Sytem
• CNS
• PNS
• Somatic Nervous System

Controls automatic functions like breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, etc.

• cerebrum
• cerebellum
• basal ganglia
• brainstem

These type of cells are responsible for transmitting electrical signals from nervous system to various parts of the body.

• Neuron

• Nerve

• Villi

• Somatic

How is a message delivered from the "sending" neuron to the "receiving" axon?

• sympathetic nerves

• hormones

• medulla oblongata

• neurotransmitters
