What do the neurotransmitter molecules do once they are released into the synaptic cleft? As the neurotransmitter chemicals travel across the synaptic cleft, they bind to receptors, such as the ones found on the ligand gated ion channels, on the postsynaptic membrane. 11. Neurotransmitters cause postsynaptic ion channels to open. Explain how this can lead to either a graded potential or a hyperpolarization.
Selye was convinced that reactions to stressful situations: a. were general and nonspecific b. differed, depending on the type of stressor that was present c. were stronger when people had other physical illnesses d. differed, depending on the personality characteristics of the individual __A__ 3. The physiological reaction to an environmental threat, in which the autonomic nervous system energizes the body and hormones are released by the endocrine system, is called: a. a fight-or-flight response b. a resistance response c. a generalized anxiety response d. reaction formation ___D_ 4. In the general activation syndrome (GAS), described by Selye, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system first becomes activated during: a. the resistance phase b. the stage of exhaustion c. recovery from the stress d. the alarm reaction __C__ 5. Quinn was driving his car on an icy road when the back end started to skid out of control. His car crossed the centerline, and he could see the headlights of rapidly approaching oncoming traffic.
The two deer seem to be frozen or caught off guard, while running through the forest. The dead and crumbling trees exposed in the painting figure glaringly in the concept of the brittleness of life and the inescapable onset of death. Their bizarre, winding branches also look to be the same as the deer’s antlers. In fact, most of the imagery in the painting, the movement of the clouds and sky, the trees, the setting sun, signifies the passage of time, and the change from life to death. Lastly, in his painting Falls of the Kaaterskill, the main feature of this painting is the waterfall.
Behaviourists regard all behaviour as a response to a stimulus. They assume that what we do and the way we behave is
* How would your autonomic nervous system respond to an emergency like confronting a bear on a hiking trail? * What is the endocrine system? How is it different than the nervous system? What are hormones? * What major glands are associated with the endocrine system and what are their
C) An antagonist does the opposite of agonist. They bind to receptors and block neurotransmitter functioning. 3) A) the four lobes of the brain are the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the temporal lobe. B) One function of each would be: The frontal lobe is involved in speaking and min muscle movements. The parietal lobe receives sensory input for the sense of touch.
Module 5 Written Assignment 1. Explain how adaptation relates to our thermoreceptors and touch receptors. What is referred pain and how could it be dangerous? Thermoreceptors and touch receptors are both nerves. The thermoreceptors Referred pain is when the perception of pain coming from parts of the body that isn’t actually stimulated.
The definition of arousal can be described as a psychological and physiological state of being alert or a reaction to a specific type of stimuli. The relationship
Just like the barking dogs, it is hard not to shout for joy when you accomplish something great. After careful observation of nature, I realized the striking similarities between what I had seen and what I had felt. Nature it seems mimics life’s emotions. For example, the blanket of snow on a winter day chilled my heart and soul and reminded me of times when I felt lost and alone. However, time marches on and so too do the emotions of my life.
