Chapter 3 Biological Basis Of Behaviour

Front 1

Sensory neuron

Back 1

Carry sensory information from receptors to the central nervous system

Front 2

Motor neurons

Back 2

Transmit commands from the brain to the body

Front 3

Interneurons

Back 3

Connect other neurons together

Front 4

Parts of a neouron

Back 4

Cell body,

Dendrites,

Axon.(carries info between)

Front 5

Resting potential

Back 5

Polarised with negative charge inside the cell and positive outside

Hint 5

Neurons

Front 6

Graded potentials

Back 6

When one neuron is excited by another the voltage spreads and it is depolarised or hyperpolarised

Front 7

Action potential

Back 7

Firing of a neuron, or a nerve impulse

Front 8

Neurotransmitters

Back 8

Inside the terminal buttons things like glutamine and dopamine are released and bind with receptors to transmit information

Front 9

Spinal cord

Back 9

Carries out reflexes and transmits info back and forth

Front 10

Medulla oblongata

Back 10

Controls vital functions such as air and blood supply and links spinal cord to brain. Found in the hindbrain

Front 11

Cerebellum

Back 11

Part of the brain involved in Movement, learning and sensory discrimination (hindbrain)

Front 12

Reticular formation

Back 12

Part of the brain involved in consciousness and arousal (hindbrain)

Front 13

Parts of the hindbrain

Back 13

Medulla

Cerebellum

Reticular formation

Front 14

Parts of the midbrain

Back 14

Tectum and tegmentum. This section helps us learn to approach or avoid stimuli to do with reward or punishment

Front 15

Tectum

Back 15

Part of the brain involved in orienting you to visual and auditory stimuli (midbrain)

Front 16

Tegmentum

Back 16

Part of the brain involved in Movement and arousal

Front 17

Parts of the forebrain

Back 17

Thalamus and hypothalamus

Subcortical structures:

Limbic system has the hippocampus (memory) septal area and amidgdala (pain pleasure and emotions)

Basal ganglia (movement and automatic response

Front 18

Thalamus and hypothalamus

Back 18

Processes info and sends it to higher brain centers. Regulates eating sleeping and emotions

Front 19

Subcortical structures

Back 19

Limbic system

Basal ganglia

Front 20

Limbic system

Back 20

Hippocampus - memory commital

Septal area and amagdala - pain pleasure and emotions

Front 21

Basal ganglia

Back 21

Movement and automatic responses (forebrain)

Front 22

Occipital lobes

Back 22

Part of the cerebral cortex associated with vision

Front 23

Parietal lobes

Back 23

Part of the cerebral cortex associated with touch and movement

Front 24

Frontal lobe

Back 24

Versatile Part of the cerebral cortex associated with things like social skills and abstract thinking

Front 25

Temporal lobe

Back 25

Part of the cerebral cortex associated with hearing language and sight

Front 26

Left field of vision is processed by?

Back 26

The right hemisphere

Front 27

Function of the left hemisphere

Back 27

Verbal

Front 28

Function of the right hemisphere

Back 28

Non linguistic
