PHRENOLOGY -Invented by Franz Gall in the early 1800?s -A theory that claimed that bumps on the skull could reveal our mental abilities and character traits The Nervous System It starts with an individual nerve cell called a NEURON Neuroanatomy Synapse Synapse How does a Neuron fire? Resting Potential: slightly negative charge Reach the threshold when enough neurotransmitters reach dendrites Go into Action Potential All-or-none response Transfer of ions across axon?s membrane causes electrical charge Neural Communication Types of Neurotransmitters Serotonin Involved in mood, sleep and wakefulness, eating, & aggressive behaviors Lack of serotonin has been linked to depression, anxiety, insomnia, OCD Norepinephrine

food

APES ID: Chapter 12 ? Food, Soil, and Pest Management Distinguish between chronic under-nutrition (hunger) and chronic malnutrition. People who cannot grow or buy enough food to support their basic energy needs suffer from chronic under-nutrition or hunger. Chronic malnutrition is caused by protein and key nutrient deficiency. What 3 systems provide most of the world?s food? Distinguish among the following types of agriculture: croplands, rangelands, and oceanic fisheries industrialized agriculture- high input agriculture, using heavy equipment and large amounts of financial capital, fossil fuel, water and commercial fertilizers and pesticides to produce single crops or monocultures.

Chapter 10: Motivation and Emotion Motives: needs, wants, interests, and desire that propel people in certain directions Motivation-goal directed behavior MOST THEORIES DISTINGUSH BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL MOTIVES Biological is limited based on survival and Social is unlimited through learning/experiences. Biological Motives Social Motives Hunger Sleep Sex Thirst Order Motive Achievement Affiliation Dominance Henry Murray: Most people have needs for achievements, autonomy, affiliation, dominance, exhibition, and order/etc. Motivation of Hunger and Eating Bio Factors in Regulations of Hunger Cannon and Washburn- association with stomach contractions and hunger= NO CORRELATION! Having your stomach removed=you can still be hungry

The amygdalae (pronounced /əˈmɪɡdəliː/; singular: amygdala; also corpus amygdaloideum) (Latin, from Greek αμυγδαλή, amygdalē, 'almond', 'tonsil', listed in the Gray's Anatomy as the nucleus amygdalæ)[1] are almond-shaped groups of nuclei located deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain in complex vertebrates, including humans.[2] Shown in research to perform a primary role in the processing and memory of emotional reactions, the amygdalae are considered part of the limbic system.[3]
