Psy 263 Exam 1: Illinois State University questions well
answered already passed 2025 updated
1. The Mind-
The relationship between the body and behavior (physical and
Body
observable) to the mind (or psyche/consciousness [self-awareness]:
"Problem"
thoughts, feelings, emotions, or soul)
2. Dualism Idea that mind and body are separatebut interact with each other
3. Monism Idea that the mind and body are made up of one substance
4. Physiological Psy- a science that relies on reduction (explanations using simple
elements) and gen-
chology eralization (creation of general laws) as strategies, and is materialistic
5. Gene The biological unit that directs cellular processes and transmits inherited
charac- teristics.
6. Neurons Specialized cells that convey sensory information into the brain; carry out
the
operations involved in thought, feeling, and action; and transmit
commands out into the body to control muscles and organs.
7. Cell body (soma) Main part; contains nucleus
8. Nucleus (DNA) provides intrustions for the cell; influences cell
9. Cytoplasm water based solution inside cell; has salt and sodium dissolved in it.
Helps keep cell alive & functioning
10. Golgi (ATP [i.e. energy] Production)
Appara- tus &
Endoplas-
tic Reticulum
with
Ribosomes

12. Cell Membrane bi-lipid layer with proteins "floating" within. Some extending into cytoplasm,
some extending into extracellular space
13. Microtubles Skeleton within the cell.
(and
What the cell wall grows
neurofilaments
over.
)
-do not divide
14. Specializations
-continual process of repair (or death)
of neurons
-continual process of remodeling, to maintain and enhance function
15. Dendrites -INPUT
-Dendritic Spines: contacts with axons from other neurons
-Neurotransmitter receptors
-Extensions that branch out from the soma to RECEIVE information from
other neurons.
16. Axon -OUTPUT
-add or subtract enzymes
-Extends like a tail from the soma and carries information to other locations.
Covered in a myelin sheath.
17. Myelin coating A fatty tissue produced by glial cells that wraps around axons and insulates
it from the surrounding fluid of other neurons.
18. Oligodendr Glial cells in the brain and spinal cord that produce myelin.
o- cytes
19. Schwann Cells Glial cells in the PNS that make myelin.
20. Node of Ranvier 1 mm gaps in the myelin sheath.
21. Axon Terminal -presynaptic membrane
-contains vesicles
-contains chemical neurotransmitters.
