22.The Central Nervous System consists of the ________ and the _________ ______

23.The role of the CNS is one of ___________ and ______________

24.The sensory information is detected and passed to the CNS by the ___________ _______________

They pass the message onto the _______________ in the spinal cord.

This in turn passes a message down a ___________ ___________ to the

muscles which contract causing your hand to move away.

25.The Peripheral Nervous System can be subdivided in the ___________ ____________ ______________ and the ___________ ____________ ___________

26.The Somatic Nervous System consists of two types of nerves:

____________ ____________ which carry information about movement outof the brain.

_________________________ which carry sensory information in to the CNS,these allow us to experience pain, pressure and changes in temperature.

27.The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) can be further subdivided:The ______________ _________ is the mechanism that speeds bodilysystems up and prepares the organism for activity, such a “fight or flight”. Itdistributes the release of noradrenaline – so it is excitatory.

The ____________ _______________ is responsible for returning the bodyto normal by slowing it down again and allowing bodily functions to return totheir original state – so it is inhibitory.

28.Neurons communicate with one another through ___________ which aresmall junctions between neurons where _____________ are released andpassed from the ______________ of one neuron to the _____________ of thereceiving neuron.




29.The brain is organised by function, it has regions devoted to different roles;this is called _______________

30.The brain works _________________ That is to say that the left hand side of the brain controls the _____-_______ of the body and the right hand side of

the brain controls the _________-__ of your body.

31. _________________ refers to the extent to which each hemisphere of thebrain is involved in different activities.

32. What is the Nature-Nuture Debate?

33.Identify each approach in Unit 2 and discuss whether it falls on the nature or nuture side of the argument.

34.The __rd pair of chromosomes determine our sex. If the combination is ___

then the foetus will develop into a female. If the combination is __ then thefoetus will develop into a male.

35.A gene in the Y chromosome called SRY produces a protein called the _________ _________ _______ which turns the developing gonads intotesticles rather than ovaries.

36.It appears the default setting for all foetuses is ____________ unless there isa _chromosome present.

37.Before we are born, exposure to sex hormones has a permanent

‘organisational’ effect on the development of sex organs so that malesdevelop __________ and _________, whilst females develop __________ and a _________

38.For the first few weeks of pre-natal development all foetuses have the sameundeveloped sex organs, both male (called the _____________system) andfemale (called the _____________ system).

39.After three months of pre-natal development, if there has been developmentof testes and therefore production of ____- sex hormones, the male

______________ system will develop fully into male sex organs.In the ___________of the male sex hormone the ___________system willdevelop into female sex organs.

40.The first hormone to be released by the testes is called the _____- _________hormone, which prevents the further development of the femalesex organs.




41.The testes then produce _____________which work to masculinise the malefoetus by stimulating the development of male sex organs.It is the ____________of male sex hormones, rather than the presence of female sex hormones, that leads to the development of complete female sexorgans.

42.Describe 3 syndromes which are associated with the hormones influence ongender development.

43. APFCE Bellis et al (2001)

44.What is meant by the term brain lateralisation?

45.Discuss gender differences in brain lateralisation.

46. Discuss using psychological theory and research: Is gender nature or

nuture?
