5 Written Questions

1. more like pushing its brake; stops firing impulse
2. Central Nervous System neurons that internally communicate and intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs.
3. chemical messengers, mostly those manufactured by the endocrine glands, that are produced in one tissue and affect another.
4. neurons that carry incoming information from the sense receptors to the Central Nervous System
5. an area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements

5 Matching Questions

1. blood-brain barrier
2. biological psychology
3. aphasia
4. Broca's area
5. pituitary gland

1. a a branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior
2. b an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech
3. c the endocrine system's most influential gland. Under the influence of the hypothalamus, the pituitary regulates growth and controls pother endocrine glands.
4. d impairment of language, usually caused by left hemisphere damage either to Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to Wernike's area (impairing understanding)
5. e enables the brain to fence out unwanted chemical circulating in the blood, and some chemicals don't have the right shape to slither through this barrier.
