Concepts & Review –
A.
Homeostasis & Positive/Negative Feedback
1. Contrast Positive and Negative Feedback loops. Give an example.
B.
Neurons and Nerve Impulses
1. Describe the structure of a neuron.
2. Summarize the electrical and chemical conditions that characterize a resting potential.
3. Outline the electrical and chemical changes that occur during an action potential.
4. Explain the role of neurotransmitters in transmitting a signal across a synapse.
C.
Structure of the Nervous System
1. Identify the two main parts of the nervous system and describe their functions.
2. Summarize the functions of the major parts of the brain: cerebrum, cerebellum, brain
stem, cerebral cortex, white matter, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and
occipital lobe.
3. Describe the roles of the sensory and motor divisions of the peripheral nervous system.
4. Distinguish between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems and how they illustrate
a positive-negative feedback loop.
D.
Drugs and the Nervous System
1. Explain the physical basis of cocaine addiction
