1. Be able to label a diagram or a model of a human brain including the following parts and tell briefly what each part does: medulla, pons, cerebellum, midbrain, thalamus, pituitary gland, and cerebrum.

2. What is a neuron? Draw a picture of a typical neuron and label its parts. Where does information enter a neuron and where does information leave from?

3. Explain how drugs affect the function of neurons especially at the 'synapse'. Make a commitment never to take drugs except for medical reasons.

4. What is a reflex? Perform a knee-jerk reflex test on someone. Explain why it occurs (use the following terms in your answer: sensory neuron, motor neuron, spinal cord). Why do doctors use this test in a physical exam?

5. What is a sensory neuron, and what is "adaptation".

6. How are the senses of taste and smell similar and how are they different.

7. Draw a picture of the various parts of the eye and explain why you have a blind-spot. Find your blind-spot for one eye.

8. Describe the three basic parts of the ear and tell what each part does. Explain why the following activities can be bad for your hearing: listening to a "walkman", putting something long in your ear, being in the front row at a loud music concert, not treating an ear infection properly, standing behind a jet at an airport

c. Observe an MRI or one being performed and explain what information can be learned from such a test.

d. Observe a neuron under a microscope.

e. Observe someone receiving a local or general anesthetic and explain how an anesthetic works.

f. Observe a real human brain (fresh or preserved)

10. List at least 5 things that you can do to protect your brain from damage.

11. Do one of the following:

a. Visit and help care for someone (minimum of 2 hrs) who has a disease of the brain and report on their special needs.

b. Briefly describe the following disorders of the nervous system:

i. Alzheimer's Disease

ii. Multiple Sclerosis

iii. Epilepsy

iv. Major Depression

v. Down Syndrome

vi. Huntington's Disease

vii. Quadriplegic

viii. Paraplegic

12. Find at least three references from the Bible that refer to your brain and/or to decisions that you make in life.
