area in the forntal lobe. left hempisphere for right handed and most left handed.

hindbrain stucture located on top of the rest pf the brainstem. essential for noordination of volentary movement, balance and some forms of conditioning.

chemical that crosses the synaptic gap from the pre-synaptic neuron and attaches to the receptors on the post-synaptic neuron

the part of the neuron that contains the neucleus

the fibre that carries info away from the cell body of the neuron

a fatty layer coating axons that proctect th eaxon and assits with the speedy delivery of nerve impulses

firbres that branch out from the end of the pre-synaptic neurons axon and link with the deprites of the post-synaptic neuron; responcible for releasing neurotransmitters into the synapse

chemcials released from the axon terminals that are absorbed by the dendrites.

a neuron fibre connected to the cell body of the neuron which receieves signals

pre-synaptic neuron --> synapse --> post-synaptic neuron

electrical charge is passed thru the neuron and chemical messengers are passed between neurons

that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. (the wirey one)

detects tumours or any other abnormalities of many organs/ parts of the body

detects what happens in brain when we are dreaming, listening to music, & whether certain tasks produce different responses in the brain.

Diagnose muscle and bone disorders, as well as pinpoint tumours as well as infections and blood clots

the portion of the nervous system responsible for delivering motor signals from the brain to the body's glands and internal organs
results in internal organs activating without your knowledge and sending signals to your brain about the level of activity of those organs eg. breathing

The somatic nervous system is crucial for keeping track of several bodily processes, like processing sensory infomation and volentary skeletal muscle movements

Alters the activity level of internal muscles, organs, and glands to physically prepare the body for increased activity during times of high stress (being chased by predators)

Maintains an energy level appropriate for normal bodily functioning Physically calms us after an event, by changing bodily functions altered by the sympathetic nervous system
