ASSESSMENT #1 SCROLL MAP

READ 90

K ● It’s about humans ● The brain and the neurons ● The cells in the nervous

system ● Animal cells ● Nerve impulses ● Molecules, cells, nerves,

and the membrane ● Cells are transmitted ● The textbook is called

biological psychology ● About the inside of the

body, mostly about the brain and our emotions

W ● What does the nervous

system do? ● What are the structures of

an animal cells? ● How many cells do we

have? ● What is nerve impulse? ● What is the membrane ?

L ● The nervous system

transmits information to the the other cells.

● All animal cells have a nucleus.

● The axon regenerates an impulse at each point.

● An axon is a thin fiber of constant diameter, in most cases longer than dendrites.

● The membrane is a structure that separates the inside of the cell from the outside environment.

● The blood barrier excludes most chemicals from the vertebrate brain.

Chapter title

Purpose : The chapter is divided into sections of specific information More information of the header or answered questions about the header

To identify new words and the main words of this chapter

The amount of reading there is in the chapter

To visualize the reading To explain the picture

To ask questions about the reading

To define what the chapter is about

Gila - The other major components of the nervous system, do not transmit information over long distances as neurons do, although they perform many other functions

Microglia - Very small cells, also remove waste material as well as viruses, fungi, and other microorganism

Schwann cells - In the periphery of the body are specialized types of glia that build the myelin sheaths that surround and insulate certain vertebrate axons

Kim chart

Blood-brain barrier - The mechanism that excludes most chemicals from the vertebrate brain

Sodium potassium pump - A protein complex, repeatedly transports three sodium ions out of the cell while drawing two potassium ions into it

endoplasmic reticulum - Is a type of organelle found in eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs

Ribisome - Are the sites at which the cell synthesizes new protein molecules

Mitochondrion - Is the structure that performs metabolic activities, providing the energy that the cell requires for all other activities

Membrane - A structure that separates the inside of the cell from the outside environment

Nucleus - The structure that contains the chromosomes

Dendrites - Are branching fibers that get narrower near their ends.

Example: A dendrites branches like a tree.

Cell body - Contains the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria.

Example: the cell body is covered with synapses on its surface in many neurons

Sensory neuron - It’s soma in the spinal cord

Example: The sensory neuron is a neuron conducting touch information from the skin to the spinal cord

Axons - the long threadlike part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell body to other cells

Example: An axon might be entirely contained within a single structure

Radial glia - Guide the migration of neurons and their axons and dendrites during embryonic development

Example: Radial glia differentiate into neurons.

Schwann cells - In the periphery of the body are specialized types of glia that build the myelin sheaths that surround and insulate certain vertebrate axons

Example: oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal cord and schwann cells

Microglia - Very small cells, also remove waste material as well as viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms

Example: Microglia proliferate in areas of brain damage and remove toxic materials.

Thiamine - Is a vitamin found in food and used a dietary supplement

Example: To use glucose, the body needs vitamin B1, thiamine.

Action potentials - Messages sent by axons

Example: To understand action potentials, let’s begin by considering what happens when the resting potential is disturbed.

Myelin sheath - An insulating material composed of fats and proteins

Example: Vertebrate axons evolved a special mechanism: myelin sheaths.

10 question quiz

1. What is at least one major goal in biological psychology? (literal)

One major goal in biological psychology is to know about the human brain and how it functions.

2. What is the term of neurons? (literal) It’s the cells transmitted nerve impulses.

3. When did the publisher first hear about biological psychology? (literal)

The publisher first heard about biological psychology after the study of development of psychology.

4. How many years has the publisher been working in this field? (inferential)

The publisher had been working in this fie since 2012.

5. How does the nervous system work? (inferential) The nervous system has two kinds of cells that transmits the cells to make the nervous system work.

6. What part of the nervous system had he studied (inferential)

The anatomy of neurons and glia which are the two transmitted cells that make up the nervous system.

7. What is the purpose of this chapter? (evaluative) The purpose of this chapter is to understand this the human brain, how the nervous system, and the nerve impulses.

8. What is the main aspects of the nervous system? (evaluative)

The main aspects of the nervous system is the neurons and the glia.

9. Why did the publisher name the textbook biological psychology? (appreciative)

The publisher named the textbook biological psychology because the meaning is the study of behavioral neuroscience and the book is about how we reacts to things or why.

10. What does the publisher want you to learn while reading this chapter? (appreciative)

The publisher wants us to learn how the nervous system and the nerve impulses work and what its made up of.

Reflection

Everything in this project was a success, but the most difficult part was doing the questions for the chapter because we had to write ten questions but in four different types of ways. The discoveries I made about expository text structure and textual elements was that there was a lot of sections to separate and information under different headings. The two chapters that I compared were two different subjects so there were only a little bit of similarities to put in the middle of the venn diagram. The twenty words I included in this project were mostly the bolded words in the textbook. I remembered some of the words because I learned them in middle school and high school but it was a review for me so I put them in the KIM chart and the four graphic squares. I put the words in either one because it was kind of the same thing for me since both had the definition and a picture, the four graphic squares just included an example of the word. Some words worked in the four graphic square because the example is the sentence from the book and so when I read it, it’ll remind me what it is again. The KIM chart was for the words I just reviewed. Overall this assessment was not that difficult.
