- Mork is an alien from planet Ggle674. Mork finds a car and tries to figure out how it works. The alien places a sensor on a wire coming from the alternator when the car is started. Mork's sensor detects an electrical current of 12 volts coming from the alternator. Mork's experiment is most closely related to the method called 1) single cell recording. O 2) EEG O 3) ablation. O 4) functional magnetic resonance imaging. O 5) transcranial magnetic stimulation.arrow_forward. A classmate claims that when an organism is scared, the brain tries to prepare the body to run away. How does the evidence provided support this argument? (a) An increased heart rate means that the organism is paying more attention to their surroundings (b) The brain is telling the heart to beat faster, sending more oxygen to the muscles (c) The brain tries to calm the body down so that it doesn’t hyperventilate and faint (d) The brain is telling the eyes to see better, so the organism can find an escape routearrow_forwardGalen performed vivisection, or live experimentation, on animals to learn about the nervous system. What did Galen discover with his squealing pig experiment? A) Galen correctly identified that peripheral nerves could control bodily function B) Galen correctly identified the division between the central and peripheral nervous systems C) Galen demonstrated that tendons, ligaments and nerves were separate entities D) Galen demonstated that transection of individual nerves had little functional consequence.arrow_forward
- In PET scans, red areas are brain regions that are most active, while blue, yellow, and green areas are least active. Figure 13.24 shows PET scans of normal brain activity (left) and (right) of the brain of a person while using cocaine. The frontal lobes of the brain hemispheres are toward the top of the scans. Their neurons play major roles in reasoning and other intellectual functions. Looking at these scan images, how do you suppose cocaine may affect mental functioning?arrow_forward16) Nancy was three when a car accident damaged a crucial portion of her brain that controlled language functioning. Following the accident, Nancy was unable to speak, although she could understand the meaning of the words being spoken to her. From the information provided in this scenario, we can infer that the brain damage Nancy suffered affected her A) Wernicke's area. B) limbic system. C) Broca's area. D) amygdalaarrow_forwardThe reflex arc is the fastest way the body has to move a body part from danger or away from the source of pain. Have you ever noticed your own reflex response? Did you notice that you felt the pain after you yanked your hand away from the source of pain? Which is the sequence of structures involved in a reflex response? a. motor neurons → effectors → brain → sensory neurons → interneurons b. effectors → sensory neurons → brain → motor neurons c. sensory neurons → interneurons → motor neurons → effectors d. sensory neurons → motor neurons → interneurons → effectorsarrow_forward
