Nervous System: an extensive network of specialized cells that carries information to and from all parts of the body. Neuron: the basic cell that makes up the nervous system and that receives and sends messages within that system. Dendrites: branchlike structures that receive messages from other neurons. Soma: the cell body of the neuron responsible for maintaining the life of the cell. Axon: tubelike structure that carries the neural message. Glial cells grey fatty cells that provide support for

Week Three Worksheet Cody Mulock PSY 340 October 27‚ 2014 Teralyn Sell Week Three Worksheet 1. Describe why humans have a blind spot: a. Humans have a blind spot because the spot that the axons meet to form the optic nerve does not have any sensor cells. 2. Describe the functional and anatomical differences between rods and cones: a. Rods: Respond to faint light and are more abundant in the periphery of the eye. Cylindrical shape‚ similar to a welding rod. b. Cones: Responsible for color vision

the precentral gyri‚ the postcentral gyri‚ and the superior gyri which are the largest (Pinel‚ 2011). The cerebral commissures are also located in the telencephalon‚ which are hemisphere connecting tracts (Pinel‚ 2011); the biggest tract is the corpus callosum. The limbic system is also located in the telencephalon. The limbic system regulates behaviors that are motived and consist of major structures that surround the thalamus such as; the amygdala‚ the fornix‚ the cingulate cortex‚ and the septum

California Institute of Technology. What are the reasons the researcher carried out the study? One of the main reasons Sperry and Gazzaniga conducted the study because they wanted to see if the brain‚ when split into two hemispheres by severing the corpus callosum‚ could act as separate mental systems and act independently. Another reason was to see if the two brain halves had separate and unique abilities once separated. They wanted to prove whether or not humans could function normally if their brains
