BIO PSYCH

• There are three types of neurons: sensory (afferent), motor (efferent), and interneuron.
• Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the nervous system.
• The brain is the most complex organ in the body, with over 100 billion neurons.
• Interneurons connect other neurons within the brain and spinal cord.
• Sensory neurons carry information from the body to the central nervous system, while motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to muscles or glands.
• The human brain is divided into two hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum.
• The brain is divided into two hemispheres, with the left controlling language and math skills while the right controls spatial reasoning and artistic abilities.
• The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher-order thinking processes such as memory, attention, problem solving, and decision making.
• Sensory neurons carry signals from receptors to the central nervous system.
• Interneurons connect other neurons within the central nervous system.
• The limbic system includes structures involved in emotion, motivation, learning, and memory.
• Motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles or glands.
• Sensory neurons carry messages from receptors to the central nervous system.
• Motor neurons carry messages from the central nervous system to muscles or glands.
• Glial cells support and protect neurons by providing nutrients, removing waste products, and insulating them.
• Myelin sheaths increase the speed at which action potentials travel along axons.
• Axons can be myelinated or unmyelinated, depending on their function.
• Myelin sheaths increase the speed at which action potentials travel along axons.
• Axons can be myelinated or unmyelinated, depending on their function.
• The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and decision-making.
• The left side of the brain controls language and logical thinking, while the right side controls spatial reasoning and creativity.
