more than inhibitory signals meeting a minimum intensity called a threshold.

ACTION POTENTIAL the messages that neurons carry are nerve impulses;
electrical signals
A nerve impulse fires when the neuron is 1.)stimulated by signals from
sensory receptors or when 2.)triggered by chemicals from other
neurons.
ALL-OR-NONE
response. Neuron either fires or
not (gun)
![Page 15: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Before a neuron fires it is RESTING
A neuron cannot fire until it’s THRESHOLD is met.Excitatory signals
exceed inhibitory signals
Each neuron has a speed assigned to it (2mph to 200 mph).
An individual neuron cannot fire faster or slower…it as an ALL OR NONE response.
**A stimulus (hug) can trigger MORE neurons to
fire or to fire MORE OFTEN but not more intense or faster.**
**A stimulus (hug) can trigger MORE neurons to
fire or to fire MORE OFTEN but not more intense or faster.**

between a big hug & a gentle
touch?

Biological Psychology
= a branch of psychology concerned with the links between biology and behavior.
Some biological psychologists call themselvesbehavioral neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, behavior geneticists, physiological psychologists, or biopsychologists.

sensory receptors to the brain and spinal cord.
![Page 48: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.

Interneurons= neurons within the brain and spinal cord that
communicate internally and intervene between the sensory inputs and motor outputs.
![Page 50: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Dendrite= the bushy, branching extensions of a neuron that
receive messages and conduct impulses toward the cell body.
![Page 51: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Axon= the extension of a neuron, ending in branching
terminal fibers, through which messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
![Page 52: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Myelin Sheath= a layer of fatty tissue segmentally encasing the
fibers of many neurons; enables vastly greater transmission speed of neural impulses as the impulse hops from one node to the next.
![Page 53: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Action Potential= a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that
travels down an axon.
![Page 54: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Threshold= a level of stimulation required to trigger a neural
impulse.
![Page 55: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Synapse= the junction between the axon tip of the sending
neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron. The tiny gap at this junction is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft.
![Page 56: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Neurotransmitters= chemical messengers that cross the synaptic
gaps between neurons. When released by the sending neuron, neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing whether that neuron will generate a neural impulse.

Reuptake= a neurotransmitter’s reabsorption by the sending
neuron.

Endorphins= “morphine within” – natural, opiatelike
neurotransmitters linked to pain control and pleasure.

Nervous System= the body’s speedy, electrochemical
communication network, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems.

Central Nervous System= the brain and spinal cord.

Peripheral Nervous System= the sensory and motor neurons that connect the
central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body.

Nerves= bundled axons that form neural “cables”
connecting the central nervous system with muscles, glands, and sense organs.

Somatic Nervous System= the division of the peripheral nervous system that
controls the body’s skeletal muscles. Also called the skeletal nervous system.

Autonomic Nervous System= the part of the peripheral nervous system that
controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart). Its sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.

Sympathetic Nervous System= the division of the autonomic nervous system that
arouses the body, mobilizing its energy in stressful situations.

Parasympathetic Nervous System= the division of the autonomic nervous system that
calms the body, conserving its energy.

Reflex= a simple, autonomic response to a sensory
stimulus such as the knee-jerk response.

Endocrine System= the body’s “slow” chemical communication
system; a set of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream.
![Page 69: Https:// 4hgmoE. Unit 2 Biology of Behavior Objective 1: Explain why psychologists are concerned with human behavior. Everything](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e4b5503460f94b3f0ec/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Hormones= chemical messengers that are manufactured by
the endocrine glands, travel through the bloodstream, and affect other tissues.

Adrenal Glands= a pair of endocrine glands that sit just above the
kidneys and secrete hormones (epinephrine and norepinephrine) that help arouse the body in times of stress.

Pituitary Gland= the endocrine system’s most influential gland.
Under the influence of the hypothalamus, the pituitary regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands.
