| Emotional | relates to a person's emotions or feelings |
| Anger | an intense emotion of hostility or displeasure |
| Stress | tension or strain caused by a difficult situation |

| What does John 2:15-17 suggest about Jesus' actions with regard to anger? | He acted with purpose and calculation. |
| Neurons | cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, sending motor commands to the muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between |
| Glial cells | provide scaffolding on which the nervous system is built, help neurons line up closely with each other to allow them to communicate, provide insulation to neurons, and transport nutrients and waste products; support neurons; there are three types: microglia, oligodendrocyte, and astrocyte |
| Concussion | a brain injury that causes a temporary disturbance in brain function; symptoms include headache, nausea, sleepiness, and sensitivity to light |
| Stroke | a disease that affects the arteries leading to and within the brain; occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or ruptures; brain cells die due to lack of blood flow; symptoms include numbness, weakness, and the inability to move the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body |
| Encephalitis | inflammation of the brain tissue |
| Meningitis | inflammation of the lining around the brain or spinal cord, usually from infection |
| Parkinson's Disease | caused by a loss of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra; often recognizable by uncontrolled shaking and/or stiffness |
| Nervous System | organ system that coordinates the activities of muscles, monitor organs, processes data received from the senses, and initiates actions |
| Brain | organ in the skull that acts as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual activity |
| Spinal cord | bundle of nerves encased by the spine that connects nearly all of the parts of the body to the brain |
| Nerve | bundle of fibers composed of neurons that uses electrical and chemical signals to transmit sensory (feeling) and motor (movin) information |
| Nerve impulse | a signal (message) transmitted along a nerve |
| Central Nervous System | consists of the brain and spinal cord; plays a central role in the control of most bodily functions including awareness, movements, sensations, thoughts, speech, and memory |
| Peripheral Nervous System | division of the nervous system containing all the nerves that lie outside of the central nervous system |
| Cerebrum | front of the brain; coordinates movement, regulates temperature, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, and the senses |
| Brainstem | Middle/bottom of brain; connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord, sends signals from the brain to the rest of the body, and controls breathing and heart rate |
| Cerebellum | back of the head/brain; coordinates voluntary muscle movements and maintains posture, balance, and equilibrium |
| Meninges | three layers of protective covering that surround the brain and spinal cord |
| Pituitary gland | pea-sized structure found deep in the brain that regulates the flow of hormones and the function of other glands in the body |
| Hypothalamus | located above the pituitary gland; regulates body temperature, synchronizes sleep patterns, controls hunger and thirst |
| Amygdala | small, almond-shaped structures under each hemisphere of the brain; regulates emotion and memory and are associated with the brain's reward system, stress, and the "fight or flight" response |
| Hippocampus | a curved seahorse-shaped organ; supports memory, learning, navigation, and perception of space |
| Pineal gland | located deep in the brain; regulates the sleep-wake cycle |
| Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) | watery fluid that surrounds and cushions the spinal cord and brain, washes out waste and impurities, and delivers nutrients |
| Frontal lobe | associated with decision making, motor skills, higher-level cognition, and expressive language |
| Parietal lobe | helps a person identify objects and understand spatial relationships; involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body |
| Occipital lobe | involved with vision |
| Temporal lobe | involved in short-term memory, interpreting sounds, and musical rhythm |
| Spinal cord: Cervical | head/neck; breathing; hands/wrist |
| Spinal cord: Thoracic | chest and abdominal muscles |
| Spinal cord: Lumbar | legs |
| Spinal cord: Sacral | bowels and bladder |
| Divisions of the Nervous System: Central Nervous System | brain and spinal cord |
| Divisions of the Nervous System: Peripheral Nervous System | neurons: motor and sensory |
| Somatic Nervous System | controls voluntary movements like running and writing |
| Autonomic Nervous System | controls involuntary responses like heartbeat |
| Divisions of the Nervous System: Sympathetic Division | activates the fight or flight response during a threat, perceived threat, or danger |
| Divisions of the Nervous System: Parasympathetic Division | restores the body to a state of calm |
| Sensation | detects changes in the internal and external environments |
| Integration | evaluation of the information from the senses, used to make decisions and memories |
| Motor Output | delivers messages to muscles or glands to take action |
| Working with the Nervous System: Respiratory System | brain monitors blood gas levels |
| Working with the Nervous System: Digestive System | nerves are triggered when food stretches the walls of the hollow organs; nerves release chemicals that cause the muscles in the GI tract to contract or relax |
| Working with the Nervous System: Muscular System | nervous system sends messages to activate skeletal muscles |
| Working with the Nervous System: Endocrine System | nervous system signals glands to release hormones; these hormones influence reproduction, growth, and metabolism |
| Just Anger | relates to anger that stems from an offense to God-whether directly, such as taking the Lord's name in vain, or indirectly, such as prejudice |
