Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

All of the following are neurotransmitters EXCEPT

    acetylcholine    melatonin    glutamate    gamma-aminobutyric acid     serotonin

 

Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

The role of the parasympathetic nervous system is to

   prepare the body for flight-or-flight response    establish homeostasis after the fight-or-flight response    prompt the body to use its resources in responding to an emergency    prepare the body to cope with stress    communicate between the afferent and efferent neurons

 

Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

One of the contributing factors to depression may be low levels of which of the following neurotransmitters?

     endorphins     acetylcholine     GABA     serotonin     glutamate

 

Question 4 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

The specific part of the nervous system that is responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements is called the

    autonomic nervous system    sympathetic nervous system    peripheral nervous system    parasympathetic nervous system    somatic nervous system

 

Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

What is the basic difference between MRI and fMRI imaging techniques?

    MRI is less invasive.    MRI carries less risk to the patient.    fMRI provides less detail.    fMRI allows for real-time observations of changes in brain activity.    Neither shows soft tissue structures of the brain.

 

Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

The sympathetic nervous system is most likely to become active when

    Samuel is sleeping    Jaxson is playing the piano     Isaiah is watching a documentary    Simone is listening to music     Alexandra is startled during a horror film

 

Question 7 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

    agonist to mimic the effects of serotonin    agonist to mimic the effects of dopamine    antagonist to inhibit the action of dopamine    antagonist to inhibit the action of serotonin     agonist to mimic the effects of GABA

 

Question 8 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

Reuptake refers to the

    brief electrical charge down the axon    reabsorption of excess neurotransmitters by the presynaptic neuron    reabsorption of excess neurotransmitters by the post-synaptic neuron    binding of the neurotransmitters onto the dendrites    movement of the neurotransmitters across the synapse

 

Question 9 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

A technique psychologists use to measure electrical activity in the brain is

    EEG    lesion    fMRI    CAT scan    PET scan

 

Question 10 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

Areas of the brain that are damaged or removed are referred to as

     hemispheres     PET scans      CAT scans      brain tumors      lesions
