The Shang dynasty was the 1st dynasty that was universally recognized. They ruled with a strong monarchy with a small group of close people. They had many rituals and though ancestors were very important. Governors were put around different parts of the empire. Had a goal of expanding. Their large worked on building projects along with fighting. Most people were farmers. The ruling class had a lot of free time, they hunted, collected bronze and jade. They used oracle bones to ask questions about the future. People were buried with their master/servant and jewels all for a good afterlife.18
5190094607Zhou DynastyA decentralized Chinese dynasty in China because of the massive size, and whose emperor was the first to claim to be a link between heaven and earth. Iron metallurgy increased in this dynasty. 2nd dynasty. Lasted longer than any other dynasty in Chinese History. (1050BC-400BC) Longest dynasty in Chinese history. Established a new political order with king at the highest level, then lords and warriors and then peasants.19

AP Psychology Neurons and Neurotransmittors Flashcards

Terms : Hide Images
4990933054BiopsychologyA branch of study that deals with the effects of biological factors on behavior. This branch believes that everything we do is ultimately controlled by our body and our brain.0
4990945512NeuronsNerve cells1
4990949002Sensory (Afferent) NeuronsDetect stimuli from sense organs and relay this information to glands and muscles.2
4990952158Motor (Efferent) NeuronsReceive signals from the brain and/or spinal cord and relay this information to glands and muscles.3
4990959042InterneuronsNeurons in the brain and spinal cord that coordinate activity between sensory and motor neurons.4
4990963047Glial CellsProvide nutrients to neurons, insulate neurons, and remove debris when neurons die.5
4990969432Cell BodyThe cell's "control center," the part that looks like a really weird fried egg.6
4990983611DendritesThe spindly bits coming out of the cell body that receive messages from other cells.7
4990991058AxonPasses messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.8
4990999617Myelin SheathCovers the axons of some neurons and helps speed neural impulses.9
4991005114Nodes of RanvierThe uncovered portion of the axons where the neural impulses jump to.10
4991072111Schwann CellsThe protective, fatty layer over the axon. Each individual cell is a Schwann Cell, and all together they form the myelin sheath.11
4991089979Terminal Branch (Button)Form junctions with the other cells in the system, and release neurotransmitters.12
4991097186Resting PotentialWhen the neuron is not transmitting information, the electrical charge is at -70mv, and there are more negative ions inside the neuron than out. The selectively permeable membrane is closed.13
5000423552Action PotentialRapid, powerful change in the state of the neuron, where the neuron reaches the threshold of excitation (-50mv) and excitatory signals outnumber inhibitory ones. Na+ comes in, K+ comes out.14
5002388971All-or-NoneThe neuron either fires, or it doesn't. The intensity of the signal just depends on how often it fires, and in how many neurons fire.15
5029216421Absolute Refractory PeriodPeriod immediately after an action potential, when another action potential cannot occur.16
5029221118Relative Refractory PeriodPeriod after an absolute refractory period, when a neuron will only respond to a stronger than normal impulse.17
5029237469NeurotransmittersSignals released from vesicles that send messages to other neurons, may be inhibitory, excitatory, or both. They regulate many aspects of behavior, and an imbalance may cause maladaptive behavior.18
5029249673Acetylcholine (ACh)The most common neurotransmitter. Enables muscle function, learning, and memory. Alzheimer's causes the ACh-producing neurons to deteriorate.19
5029264205DopamineInfluences learning, movement, learning, attention, and emotion. Too much dopamine is related to Schizophrenia, whereas not enough dopamine is related to the brain tremors and decreased mobility associated with Parkinson's.20
5029287024SerotoninAffects mood, hunger, sleep and arousal. An undersupply can lead to depression. Prozac and other drugs are meant to treat this by raising serotonin levels.21
5029297273NorepinephrineHelps control alertness and arousal, associated with the "fight or flight" response. An undersupply can depress mood.22
5029313304GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)A major inhibitory transmitter, an undersupply can be linked to seizures, tremors, and insomnia.23
5029318687GlutamateA major excitatory neurotransmitter related to memory, an oversupply can cause brain migraines or seizures. (Some people avoid MSG because it contains glutamate.)24

6314749006Great Depression(HH) , starting with collapse of the US stock market in 1929, period of worldwide economic stagnation and depression. Heavy borrowing by European nations from USA during WW1 contributed to instability in European economies. Sharp declines in income and production as buying and selling slowed down. Widespread unemployment, countries raised tariffs to protect their industries. America stopped investing in Europe. Lead to loss of confidence that economies were self adjusting, HH was blamed for it (1929-1939) The dramatic decline in the world's economy due to the United State's stock market crash of 1929, the overproduction of goods from World War I, and decline in the need for raw materials from non industrialized nations. Results in millions of people losing their jobs as banks and businesses closed around the world. Many people were reduced to homelessness, and had to rely on government sponsored soup kitchens to eat. World trade also declined as many countries imposed protective tariffs in an attempt to restore their economies.16

7920652989If the correlation coefficient is -1, that perfect relationship Is indirect or inverse.as one variable increases the other variable decreases.61
7920652990If the correlation coefficient is +1 that perfect relationship is direct , as one variable increases,the other variable increases,and as one variable decreases,the other variable decreases.62
7920652991A correlation of 0 indicates no relationship at all between the two variables.63
7920652978Correlation coefficient are useful because they enabled psychologists to make predictions about Y when they know the value of X and the correlation coefficient64
7920652979Scatter grams or scatter plots (correlation )Which paired x and y scores for each subject are plotted as single points on a graph.65
7920652980positive correlation r=+1A slope that's going up and a perfect line66
7920652981r=0Where all the dots are scarred all over the plot and no appropriate line can be drawn67
7920652982negative correlation r= -1A slope that's going down68
7920652983Interferential statisticsAre used to interpret data and draw conclusions.Use rules to evaluate the probability that a correlation or a difference between groups reflects a real relationship and not just the operation of chance factors on the particular sample that was chosen for study.69
7920652992If the p value is less than 0.05 percent you a winner.70
7920652984Statistical significanceIs a measure of the likelihood that the difference between groups results from a real difference between the two groups rather than from chance alone.71
7920652985Statistical significance ( p)Cause of science not because of not by chance.72
7920652993Some psychologists psychologists consider that results are significantly different only if the results have less than a 1 in 20 probability of being caused by a chance (p<.05) others consider thats results are significantly different only if the results have less that's a 1 in 100 probability of being caused by a chance. (p<.01)73
7920652986meta-analysisProvides a way of statistically combining the results of individual research studies to reach an overall conclusion.74
