Semantic Clues
In this unit, it is essential for you to create semantic cues for the terms. Hints:
For the Neuron section – label a neuron on each card. Neural Transmitters- explain what an excess or deficit does or what drugs mimic or stop transmission.
NS – explain effects/roles of each. CC – label brain. EC – effects of glands. Brain – great mnemonics
