6.5 Neuron Structure and Function/Homeostasis
Crash Course - Nervous System/Homeostasis
Terminology Auction - prepare flash cards for each of the following terms - include term and group #.
Follow along with the video and raise the appropriate card at the appropriate time - occasionally, there are 2 cards involved coincidentally and occasionally, the terms are appropriate, but are not actually spoken in the text of the narration!
CENTRAL VS PERIPHERAL
AFFERENT VS EFFERENT
SOMATIC VS AUTONOMIC
SYMPATHETIC VS PARASYMPATHETIC
DENDRITE
AXON
MYELIN
NODES
SYNAPSE
HOMEOSTASIS
RESTING POTENTIAL
DEPOLARIZATION
REPOLARIZATION
ACTION POTENTIAL
Na-K PUMP
Na CHANNELS
K CHANNELS
MEMBRANE POTENTIAL
THRESHOLD
NEUROTRANSMITTERS

watch this animation through to the end and do the learning exercises.

This is a great place to make the connection between with the structure and function of the neuron and learning!
use the following materials to make your own model of a neuron pathway
dominoes
mouse traps
small balls of various materials - pingping, soft plastic, pompoms
Evaluate the accuracy of your model - where is it a good representation, where does it fall short?
