Ar Eppp Neuropsychology

Front 1

What part of the ANS is active during the "fight or flight" and expenditure of energy?

Back 1

The sympathetic nervous system

Front 2

What part of the ANS is active during conservation of energy and controls daily-living such as elimination and digestion?

Back 2

Parasympathetic Nervous System

Front 3

Name the electrochemical process that is involved in neurol impulses that are received and processed within a neuron?

Back 3

Conduction

Front 4

Define conduction?

Back 4

It is the result of an action potential or change in the electrical charge inside the neuron.

Front 5

True or False?
An increase in electrical charge above the threshold increases the magnitude or speed of the action potential?

Back 5

Flase.. it does not.

Front 6

Name the NT involved in control of voluntary movement, plays a role in memory and in REM sleep?

Back 6

Acetylcholine

Front 7

Name two measures of the ANS?

Back 7

EKG (electrocardiogram)
GS (galvanic skin response)

Front 8

What is teh EKG?

Back 8

electrocardiogram measures contractions of the heart muscles.

Front 9

the CNS consists of: the brain and spinal cord which are immersed in what kind of fluid?

Back 9

cerebrospinal fluid

C (CNS) ere BR (brain) SPINAL (spinal cord)

Front 10

Name the nerves that carry info from the PNS to CNS

Back 10

"afferent nerves"

Front 11

Glial cells provide..

Back 11

physical support, nutrients, and are vacumm cleaners to debris in the NS.

Front 12

Efferent nerves carry information from where to where?

Back 12

The CNS to the muscles and glands.

Front 13

The peripheral nervous systemm is divided into two: the XXXnervous system and the XXX

Back 13

1. Somatic Nervous System
2. Autonomic Nervous System

Front 14

Which nervous system is responsible for controlling the action of the skeletal muscles and the voluntary movement?

Back 14

Somatic Nervous System

Front 15

The somatic NS responds to signals from which senses?

Back 15

Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Front 16

Which nervous system is responsible for innervating the smooth muscles, viscera, and glands?

Back 16

the autonomic nervous system..

Front 17

which of the two reguates processes that are involuntary? Ie; digestive system, rate of respiration, heartbeat.

Back 17

autonomic nervous system

Front 18

Which nervous system is highly correlated with emotionality?

Back 18

autonomic nervous system

Front 19

Name the two subdivision of the autonomic nervous system?

Back 19

sympathetic and parasympathetic

Front 20

Does the sympathetic or parasympathetic convert fat and glycogen to glucose?

Back 20

sympathetic during the fight or flight stage to get energy, the other way around is for the parasympathetic system.

Front 21

The brain is composed of 3 functional sections, name them:

Back 21

1. a primitive core
2. the limbic system aka old brain
3. cerebral cortex or cerebrum aka the new brain

Front 22

Brain: the primitive core is built around what? and regulates?

Back 22

1. built around the top end of the spinal cord and 2. regulates basic SOMATIC activities like breathing and sleeping.

Front 23

Brain: An old brain, which is aka? is built around? which mediates what?

Back 23

1. Limbic system
2. the primitive core
3. hunger and thirst as well as emotions

Front 24

Brain: around the old brain a new one developed. Which is called what? and is responsible for what?

Back 24

1. cerebral cortex or cerebrum
2. responsible for higher cognitive, emotional, and motor fx

Front 25

Anatomically the brain is divided into three parts: (start from the back and move forward)

Back 25

1. hindbrain
2. midbrain
3. forebrain
