designed to expose you to the underlying physiological mechanisms of behavior. Physiological psychology is a complex but fascinating field of study. It explores the relationship between our biological systems and behavior. Structure and function of the nervous system from the neuron to the brain‚ as well as the interrelationships between the brain and such behaviors as eating‚ sleeping‚ learning‚ memory‚ emotion‚ and mental disorders will be discussed using examples from the behavior of both humans and

Eliciting (Generating) a Nerve Impulse 1. Why don’t the terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? Depolarization has to do with surfaces becoming more negative or positive and reaches a certain point called a threshold. When the threshold is reached‚ an action potential is initiated. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? The threshold voltage in Activity 1 was 3.0. 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes

The Relationship Between The Nervous System and The Endocrine System The cells and tissues in the body are delicate and easily disrupted. They will only be able to function well if all aspects of their chemical and physical environment is continuously adjusted to keep them stable and in equilibrium. The process in which several body systems work together to maintain the balanced environment is called homeostasis. The endocrine and nervous system work closely together to help maintain homeostasis

1] Describe the two branches of the ANS – transmitters‚ transmitter synthesis‚ outflow and major effects of each. The two branches of the Autonomic Nervous System are the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division. The main process of the sympathetic division is to stimulate the fight-or-flight response in the body‚ which means it is in charge of stimulates actions. In the sympathetic system‚ epinephrine and norepinephrine are the main neurotransmitter. In the sympathetic system

Central Nervous System: The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain controls bodily functions. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain in humans. The cerebrum is the last place that information travels through in the brain. The spinal cord is the part of the body that communicates between the brain and the nerves that connect to the spinal cord. The spinal cord is commonly known as a pathway from the brain to the body. Peripheral Nervous System: The peripheral

1. Describe the general structure and function of the nervous system. The Nervous System is a "network" which delivers information and monitors the processes taking place in our bodies at all times. The nervous system in all its aspects allows us to function as a single controlled and coordinated unit. The basic nerve cell nerve cell is a neuron; a chain of neurons is actually a "communication cable "inside our bodies. Neuron structure is basically the cell nucleus‚ the dendrites which receive information
