|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
more attractive back in the day)
|| || || || ||
DNA Blueprints - ✔✔DNA from our generations
|| || || || || ||
Heredity - ✔✔Inheritance of genetic characteristics
|| || || || ||
DNA - ✔✔(deoxyribonucleic acid)
|| || ||

Peripheral system - ✔✔Motor (runs through body) || || || || || ||
Neuron - ✔✔Communication to the brain about activity
|| || || || || || ||
Creates our movement || ||
Ex: doesn't allow 3rd degree burns because it tells the brain to move body part

|| || || || || || ||
,2
Neurogenesis - ✔✔Grow new neurons || || || ||
Axon terminal - ✔✔Decide WHERE info is going
|| || || || || || ||
Neurotransmitters - ✔✔Chemical messengers || || ||
Spinal Cord - ✔✔Acts like a cable, connecting brain to other parts of the body
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Neurological Communication goes through the ________ - ✔✔spine
|| || || || || || ||
Bottom of neck controls _________ - ✔✔digestion
|| || || || || ||
Torso controls ______ - ✔✔balance
|| || || ||
Top of neck controls _______ - ✔✔lungs, heart
|| || || || || || ||
Neck controls ________ - ✔✔vital organs
|| || || || ||
Endocrine System - ✔✔Body communication that uses horses as messengers instead of
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
neurons
Controls: growth- skin, hair, height
|| || || ||
The _______ system helps with growth, regulates eating, sleepiness, elicits adrenaline -
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔endocrine (if system becomes unstable we can gain/lose weight, get sick, insomnia)
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Thalamus - ✔✔Interpret our senses (touch, hear, sight, smell, taste)
|| || || || || || || || ||
, 2

|| || || || || || || || || ||
language.
Divided into four lobes that each have a specific function
|| || || || || || || || ||
Cerebellum - ✔✔Movement- posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in
|| || || || || || || || || ||
smooth and balanced muscular activity
|| || || ||
Medulla - ✔✔Vital reflexes (breathing, digestive rate)
|| || || || || ||
Hippocampus - ✔✔associated mainly with memory || || || || ||
Amygdala - ✔✔Fear/Aggression || ||
Pituitary Gland - ✔✔(looks like testicles)
|| || || || ||
Growth- puberty, regulates the hormones
|| || || ||
Hypothalamus - ✔✔govern physiologic functions such as temperature regulation, thirst,
|| || || || || || || || || ||
hunger, sleep, mood, sex drive
|| || || ||
Keeps us level
|| ||
Septum - ✔✔Pleasure/pain center
|| || ||
Heart rate increases when triggered
|| || || ||
Corpus Collosum - ✔✔Connects the lobes together (typically formed around 8-years-old)
