1.
Acquisition curve: how long it takes someone to learn the behavior (conditioned response)
2.
Affective: emotional reactions associated with experience
3.
Androgen insensitivity syndrome: XY, female, all cells in body (prenatal and post natal) become insensitive to male hormones
4.
Angiotensin ii: in hypovolemic thirst helps to constrict blood vessels, triggers thirst in conjunction with receptors that detect blood pressure in the large veins
5.
Asexual reproduction: cloning
6.
Binge eating: during current episode person has regularly engaged in binge eating or purging behavior
7.
CAH: xx, male, masculinized females
8.
CCK: cholerystokinin increases stomach distention
9.
Classical conditioning: one obtains a conditioned response that involves the pairing of stimuli in close time proximity
10.
Endocrine system: internally secreting sex hormones
11.
Episodic: working
12.
Explicit (declarative): random facts, medial temporal lobe
13.
Extinction curve: extinguish, how long it takes to unlearn the conditioned response
14.
FSH: promotes growth of a follicle in the ovary
15.
Genotype: genetics involved within an individual
16.
Gonadal sex hormone regulation: hypothalamus -> GnRH -> anterior pituitary -> LH and FSH -> gonads -> ovaries and testes -> estrogen/progesterone and testosterone
17.
Habituation: the tendency of a response's effect to be reduced temporarily because of repeated elicitation
18.
Homeostasis: the tendency of a system to maintain internal stability
19.
Implicit (procedural): riding a bike, neocortex, basal ganglia
20.
Intracellular dehydration: inside cells, osmometric thirst
21.
Karyotype: nucleus marker
22.
Klinefelter's syndrome: XXY, male, male sex organs, small testes, sterile, prone to obesity, breast development during puberty, high pitched voice, little sex drive
23.
Lateral preoptic: controls drinking
24.
Learning: the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, attitudes or values through study, experience, or teaching that causes a change in behavior
25.
LH: combines with FSH to release an egg
26.
LH: hunger center
27.
Memory: the ability of the brain to store, retain and subsequently recall information
28.
Operant conditioning: systematic conditioning or strengthening of emitted behavior so that a desired response is selectively reinforced, reward vs. punishment
29.
Osmoreceptors: detect the amount of cell shrinkage, neurons that surround the 3rd ventricle, POAH, lateral proptic area of the hypothalamus, OVLT, SFO
30.
Osmosis: dilution, going from low to high concentration, cell shrinks when it loses water
31.
OVLT/SFO: detect changes in osmotic pressure and salt content of blood
32.
Pharmacotherapy: tricyclic antidepressants, MAOIs, SSRIs
33.
Phenotype: physical characteristics of an individual, male, female
34.
Primary drinking: occurs in response to depletion of body fluids because of water deprivation, substantial bleeding, swearing, ingesting a hypertonic salt solution
35.
Primary sex characteristics: genetics (xx and xy), genitals and breast development
36.
Procedural: skills
37.
Psychotherapy: effective for bulimia and binge eating
38.
Renin: released by the kidneys to help promote angiotensin
39.
Restricting: during current episode person has not regularly engaged in binge eating or purging behavior
40.
Secondary drinking: occurs as a result of conditions that do not involve any fluid imbalance - social situation, pleasure, and habit
41.
Secondary sex characteristics: sex hormones, facial hair, more developed skeletal musculature for males, distributed layer of subcutaneous fat for females
42.
Semantic: reference
43.
Sensitization: an increase in response to stimuli because of previous exposure to one or more intense stimuli
44.
Set point: a value around which a homeostatic mechanism is regulated/adjusted
45.
Sex genes: xx female, xy male, 23 pairs
46.
Sexual reproduction: male/female cooperate
47.
Supermale syndrome: XYY, male, taller than normal, more aggressive, less intelligent
48.
Turner's syndrome: X or X0, female, short, no puberty, undeveloped ovaries, sterile, webbed neck
49.
Vasopressin: in osmometric thirst, audidiuretic hormone, increases pressure to make up for decreased volume, constricts blood vessels
50.
VMH: satiety center
