🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cognitive
Relates to how one thinks
Habitual
Relates to behavior that is repetitive
Physiological
Relates to the normal functions of living organisms and their parts
Emotional
Relates to a person's emotions or feelings
Anger
An intense emotion of hostility or displeasure
Stress
Tension or strain caused by a difficult situation
Ways to control anger
Coping skills, meditation, therapy, prayer
Neurons
Cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, sending motor commands to the muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between
Glial cells
Provide scaffolding on which the nervous system is built, help neurons line up closely with each other to allow them to communicate, provide insulation to neurons, and transport nutrients and waste products; support neurons; there are three types: microglia, oligodendrocyte, and astrocyte
Concussion
A brain injury that causes a temporary disturbance in brain function; symptoms include headache, nausea, sleepiness, and sensitivity to light
Stroke
A disease that affects the arteries leading to and within the brain; occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or ruptures; brain cells die due to lack of blood flow; symptoms include numbness, weakness, and the inability to move the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
Encephalitis
Inflammation of the brain tissue
Meningitis
Inflammation of the lining around the brain or spinal cord, usually from infection
Parkinson's Disease
Caused by a loss of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra; often recognizable by uncontrolled shaking and/or stiffness
Nervous System
Organ system that coordinates the activities of muscles, monitor organs, processes data received from the senses, and initiates actions
Brain
Organ in the skull that acts as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual activity
Spinal cord
Bundle of nerves encased by the spine that connects nearly all of the parts of the body to the brain
Nerve
Bundle of fibers composed of neurons that uses electrical and chemical signals to transmit sensory (feeling) and motor (movin) information
Nerve impulse
A signal (message) transmitted along a nerve
Central Nervous System
Consists of the brain and spinal cord; plays a central role in the control of most bodily functions including awareness, movements, sensations, thoughts, speech, and memory
Peripheral Nervous System
Division of the nervous system containing all the nerves that lie outside of the central nervous system
Cerebrum
Front of the brain; coordinates movement, regulates temperature, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, and the senses
Brainstem
Middle/bottom of brain; connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord, sends signals from the brain to the rest of the body, and controls breathing and heart rate
Cerebellum
Back of the head/brain; coordinates voluntary muscle movements and maintains posture, balance, and equilibrium
Meninges
Three layers of protective covering that surround the brain and spinal cord
Pituitary gland
Pea-sized structure found deep in the brain that regulates the flow of hormones and the function of other glands in the body
Hypothalamus
Located above the pituitary gland; regulates body temperature, synchronizes sleep patterns, controls hunger and thirst
Amygdala
Small, almond-shaped structures under each hemisphere of the brain; regulates emotion and memory and are associated with the brain's reward system, stress, and the "fight or flight" response
Hippocampus
A curved seahorse-shaped organ; supports memory, learning, navigation, and perception of space
Pineal gland
Located deep in the brain; regulates the sleep-wake cycle
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Watery fluid that surrounds and cushions the spinal cord and brain, washes out waste and impurities, and delivers nutrients
Frontal lobe
Associated with decision making, motor skills, higher-level cognition, and expressive language
Parietal lobe
Helps a person identify objects and understand spatial relationships; involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body
Occipital lobe
Involved with vision
Temporal lobe
Involved in short-term memory, interpreting sounds, and musical rhythm
Spinal cord: Cervical
Head/neck; breathing; hands/wrist
Spinal cord: Thoracic
Chest and abdominal muscles
Spinal cord: Sacral
Bowels and bladder
Somatic Nervous System
Controls voluntary movements like running and writing
Autonomic Nervous System
Controls involuntary responses like heartbeat
Divisions of the Nervous System: Sympathetic Division
Activates the fight or flight response during a threat, perceived threat, or danger
Sensation
Detects changes in the internal and external environments
Integration
Evaluation of the information from the senses, used to make decisions and memories
Motor Output
Delivers messages to muscles or glands to take action
Working with the Nervous System: Digestive System
Nerves are triggered when food stretches the walls of the hollow organs; nerves release chemicals that cause the muscles in the GI tract to contract or relax
Working with the Nervous System: Muscular System
Nervous system sends messages to activate skeletal muscles
Working with the Nervous System: Endocrine System
Nervous system signals glands to release hormones; these hormones influence reproduction, growth, and metabolism
Just Anger
Relates to anger that stems from an offense to God-whether directly, such as taking the Lord's name in vain, or indirectly, such as prejudice
