AP Psychology Outline Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Red ? Definition Blue - Important Points Green - Important People & Contributions Nervous System: The Basics Neurons ? Individual cells in the nervous system that receive, integrate, and transmit information. They are basic links that allow communication within the Nervous System. Soma ? Cell Body of the neuron that contains the nucleus and much of cells normal organs. Dendrite ? Parts of a Neuron that receives information. Axon ? Long fiber that transmits information away to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Myelin Sheath ? Insulating Material that encases some Axons. It speeds up to transmission of information.

Vascular Tissue and Transport VASCULAR TISSUE & TRANSPORT Plants rely on specialized tissue, called vascular tissue, to transport water, nutrients, and the products of photosynthesis around the plant. The two types of vascular tissue are: xylem (zy-lum) phloem Water Transport Xylem - Transports water from the roots up to the rest of the plant in one way flow. Tracheids - Hollow cell in xylem with thick cell walls that resist turgor pressure Water Transport Water rises through the thin tubes by a process called capillary action (cohesion of water molecules and adhesion to solid surface). The thinner the tube, the higher the water will rise.

Classification Multicellular Eukaryote Have cell walls made of cellulose Carry out photosynthesis AND respiration Most are autotrophs A few are parasites (live on living organisms) or saprobes (live on dead organisms) Store energy as starch (carbohydrates) Sunlight Water Minerals Gas Exchange (CO2 in: O2 and some CO2 out) Transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant body Remember Photosynthesis: 6H2O + 6CO2 ? C6H12O6 + 6O2 (water + carbon dioxide + sunlight ? glucose + oxygen) Plants life cycles have two alternating phases known as alternation of generations: A diploid (2N) phase known as the sporophyte (spore producing plant). A haploid (N) phase known as the gametophyte (gamete producing plant)

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - Transfers nutrients, salts, H2O and vitamins in food from external to internal environment Anatomy: Digestive tract (gastrointestinal (GI) tract) Mouth -> Pharynx -> Esophagus -> Stomach -> Small intestine -> Large intestine -> Anus DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Digestive System: Mouth: - teeth = mastication (incisors, canines, molars) -3 pairs salivary glands secrete saliva: 1) moistens and lubricates food 2) amylase DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Digestive System Organs Pharynx and Esophagus - transport food and water to stomach - swallowing reflex: epiglottis As food approaches stomach, sphincter relaxes so food can go into stomach Sphincter closes -> Prevents acid reflux DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Describe the characteristics of first, second and third degree burns. First degree: epidermal damage; redness; minor pain ? Second degree: blisters; some dermal damage; pain; regeneration possible ? Third degree: dermal layer destroyed; no pain b/c nerve endings destroyed; requires grafting b/c regeneration impossible ? What skin layer provides the main defense against bacteria and injury (book 155)? Stratum corneum (lots of layers and keratinized) What is another name for an outward thickening of the stratum corneum (horny layer) of the skin (book 152)? Callus (from persistent friction which increases cell production) ? Which layer of epidermal cells is mitotic? Stratum basale (germinativum) where new keratinocytes are being formed

SENSATION is the stimulation of sense organs -Sensation involves the absorption of energy, such as light or sound waves, by sensory organs, such as the eyes and ears PERCEPTION is the selection, organization, and interpretation of sensory input -Perception involves organizing and translating sensory input into something meaningful Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels as a wave, moving, natural enough, at the speed of light Amplitude: height of the light wave. Affects perception of brightness Wavelength: distance between peaks. Affects perception of color Purity: How varied the mix is. Influences perception of the saturation, or richness, of colors. Saturation refers to the relative amount of whiteness in a color. As whiteness declines, saturation increases -
