Matching Pairs Nervous System - Matching Part 2Online version Nervous System - Matching Part 2 by Benjamin D Morgan 1 sensory organs 2 mechanical stimuli 3 taste receptors 4 Rods and Cones Receptors 5 How does the amount of alcohol consumed by an individual affect the number of brain cells. Identify a possible controlled variable 6 spinal cord 7 How does the amount of alcohol consumed by an individual affect the number of brain cells. Identify the dependent variable 8 How does the amount of alcohol consumed by an individual affect the number of brain cells. Identify the Independent variable 9 brain 10 Neurons 11 touch receptors 12 Convert chemical stimuli (molecules) in the air into electrical impulses. They are found in your nose. 13 chemical stimuli 14 hair receptors 15 electromagnetic stimuli Convert mechanical sound wave stimuli that travel through the air into electrical impulses. They are found in your ears. Convert chemical stimuli in the food you eat into electrical impulses. They are found on your tongue. Nerve cells that carry information as tiny electrical signals between the receptors and the brain Age of the individual drinking alcohol Processes the electrical signals sent from each receptor and decides on how to respond to the stimuli by sending an electrical signal to a part of the body and/or committing the electrical signal to memory Tongue, eyes, skin, nose, and ears are these Pathway for neural fibers traveling to and from brain; controls simple reflexes that are not sent to the brain. Olfactory Receptors amount of alcohol Convert mechanical stimuli in the form of pain, temperature, and pressure into electrical impulses. They are found in your skin. Stimuli due to touching something and sound waves Stimuli due to a molecule entering through the mouth for taste or nose for smell Stimuli that enters the eye as light number of brain cells Convert electromagnetic waves (light) stimuli into electrical impulses. These are found in your eyes.
