pineal gland
30
top of the thyroid, 4 structures
parathyroid glands
31
maintain balance in the calcium and phoshorus
paathyroid glands
32
male gonds produce testoterone
testicles
33
promote human growth and the stimulate of the sperm, puberty of men
testicles
34
located in the pelvis manufacturing ovules
ovaries
35
secrete estrogen and progesterone
ovaries
36
the female gonds determine the onset of puberty
ovaries
37
metabolism energy level reproduction growth development response to injury, stress environmental factors
endocrine system
38
regulates salt blood pressure
aldosterone
39
sodium balance, blood pressure, fluid retention in the kidneys
vasopressin
40
growth development protein production the body fat stored
GH
41
sex hormones estrogen and progesterone eggs sperm
LH FSH

mil fertilization
progesterone
47
uterus and brests growth
estrogen
48
help with sleep
melatonin
49
help development the immune system during puberty
humaral factors
50
serve to transmit and broadcast inofrmation
neurons or nerve cells
51
communicate information through nerve impulses form the brain to the rest of the body or viceversa
neurons or nerve cells
52
perform functions of support nutirtion and defense of nervous tissue
glial cells and neuroglia
53
23 main glial cells or neuroglia
astrocytes cells, oligodendrocytes and schwann cells
54
branched parts of the neuron that receive information nerve impulses and transport it to the cell body
dentrites
55
is the central part of the neuron, nucleus of the cell
soma, cell obdy or perikaryon
56
is the ranch that starts form the cell body and communicates the info to another neuron. different extension
axon
57
white, fatty substance, 90 times per second
myelin sheath
58
is the small brown in the axon
schwann cell
59
the last part of the neuron
nerve ending
60
the 4 types of neurons
sensory neurons, motor neurons, interneurons and relay
61
receive a stimulus by the 5 senses passing the organs, brain and to the spianl cord
sensory neurons
62
emit signals form the cns to make a movemnt
motor neurons
63
transmit the info between sensory and motor
interneurons
64
large neurons that transmit a info by the cns to another without the pns
relay
65
when two neurons repeated infinitely, in the terminal axon
synapse
66
the small space between it and next neuron
sypnatic
67
a particle is released in the synapse from the axon of the neuron that emits the information
neurotransmitters
68
their axons are thicker and the nerve impulse propagates faster thanks to saltatory conduction
myelinated neurons
69
they grow myelin and the conduction is slowly
unmyelinated neurons
70
2 types of neurons
myelinated and unmyelinated
71
the nerve impulse is transmitted along a neuron through a process of:
depolarization, sodium potassium pump
72
who the nerve impulse propagates faster in axons?
with myelin
73
what is myelin
is an electrical insulators, it does not follow charges to pass throgth it
74
In myelinated neurons, the process of saving energy occurs only in?
ranvier´s nodes
75
chemical created by the body that transmit signals
neurotransmitter
76
neurotransmitter synthesized form tryptophan, happines homrmones and group of indolamines
serotonin
77
neurotransmitter invovled in addictive behaviurs and in the cause of pleasant sensations, muscular movements, cognitive process, learning decision
dopamine
78
natural drug released in the body, pleasure, and euphoria, promote calm, improve mood, reduce pain, delay the aging process, functions the immune system
endorphins
79
triggers survival mechanisms, fulfills physiological functions
adrenaline epinepherine
80
exitory neurotransmitter in the cns, memory recovery, sensory, motor, cognitive and emotional, 80 and 90 of the synapses, the excess is toxic in neurons
glutamate
81
inhibitory messenger stop action of excitatory neurotransmitters contributes control, anxiety, and does not cross the body's blood-brain barrier, so ti must be synthesized in the brain
GABA (gamma.aminobutyric acid)
82
1 neurotransmitter to be discovered, widely distributed, muscles stimulations, sleep, wakefulness, and memory association process.
acetylcholine
83
brain and spinal cord, control bodily functions
central nervous system cns
84
made up of the set of nerves that comes out of the brain and spinal cord
peripheral nervous system PNS
85
connect the cns with the rest of the body, to execute the orders
nerves
86
the automatic system can be divided in 2
sympathetic and parasympathetic
87
is the one released acetylcholine, it increases well-being or rest
parasympathetic
88
increase moments of alertness
sympathetic
89
biological process by which new individuals are produced
reproduction
