Biopsychology Bio psychologists argue behaviour is the product of our genes and behaviour and experiences are caused by the activity in the nervous system. CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Made up of the BRAIN and SPINAL CORD. NEURONS Make connections between each neuron‚ sending nerve impulses across the synapse. These make up the nervous system and determine what we‚ think‚ feel‚ say and do. A Motor Neuron _______________ _______________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________

Psych Notes *A person is an information unit Receptors (sensory) receive information and relay it to interneurons (between neurons) that process info. Person transmits info through effectors. Basic effectors are hormonal secretions and movement. *Receptors (receive) Interneurons (process) Effectors (transmit) *A person is a computer made out of meat.

Foundations of Psychology Tiara Clark PSY/300 March 1‚ 2015 Mrs. Cara Patterson Foundations of Psychology The study of psychology is fundamental to understanding mental processes and human behaviors. In the earlier years of psychology‚ there were two schools of thought that dominated: structuralism and functionalism. Structuralism focused on the structure and content of consciousness while functionalism focused on the function of psychological processes

cavities. Body membranes are made up of epithelial and connective tissue layer. Mucous membrane cover openings that are exposed to the outside world. For example‚ mucous membrane is present in the nose‚ respiratory tract‚ male and female reproductive systems‚ stomach and intestines. Epithelium of mucous membrane is attached to lamina propria‚ a loose connective tissue layer that stabilizes the epithelium in place. Goblet cells in the epithelium make mucus which is a liquid that protects the mucous membrane
