Dualism
Mind Separate from body
Material Monist
Brain Causes Mind (Most Scientists Today)
Pineal Gland
Only One
Secretes Hormones
Descartes thought thats where mind and body connected
Phrenology
Franz Joseph Gall
Feeling lumps of head for mental faculties
First to say different parts of brain for diff abilities
Animal Electricity
Luigi Galvani
Frankenstein
Movement thru electricity
Electricity from ATP
Neuron
10 Parts
Dendrites, Cell Body, Receptor Sites, Axon Hillick, Axon, Nodes of Ronvier, Myelin, Synaptic Terminals, Presynaptic Neuron, Neuro Transmitter
Dendrites
Receive chemicals (neurotransmitter) http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fdxline.info%2Fimg%2Fterm%2Fdendrite-4057_0.gif&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fdxline.info%2Fdictionary%2Fdendrite&h=207&w=407&tbnid=2va0oQzVCpFpEM%3A&zoom=1&docid=hMaP1K2kkYs2PM&ei=paofVNjpB5HIggSSl4GYBg&tbm=isch&client=safari&ved=0CDQQMygBMAE&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=630&page=1&start=0&ndsp=9
Cell Body (Soma)
Water and nutrients processed
DNA Location
Receptor Sites
Different shapes that receive certain chemicals
Axon Hillick
“trigger on a gun”
can only fire if it gets a lot of electricity
“all or none principle”
Axon
Wire that sends charge
not smooth
charge jumps
Nodes of Ronvier
In axon for electrical jumps
Myelin
Coating for cover of axon
Synaptic Terminals
End of the line
sends charge to symastic vesicles
Presynaptic Neuron
receives neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters
Acitylcholine
Norepenephrine
Dopamine
Serotonin
How do Drugs Work?
Mimic neurotransmitter to make neuron fire
block other transmitters
Resting Potential
small negative charge when not being fired
Lot of Potassium on inside and Sodium out
Flips when fired
Ion Gates
Only allows Sodium and Potassium
Flips them when neuron fired
Temporarily turn neuron +
Action Potential
All or None
Threshold Potential
before action potential
Refractory Period
can fire Potassium and Sodium switching and setting again for another fire
Glial Cells
1/2 of brain 4 Types Actrocyte Oligodendrocyte Microglia Ependymal Cells
Actrocyte
attached to vascular tissue
largest amt of g cells
nutrients for neurons
scaffolding for brain
