Chapter 2 Notecards are DIFFERENT!

For chapter 2, some terms can be done the way you normally do your cards, but others are anatomical parts that you might not find two examples for. If you have an anatomical term that you can't find two real-life examples for, like "axon," use the format below. You need to have 5 things on each card still. *


1. Definition
2. SKETCH! If the term can be sketched (if it's a part of a neuron or a part of the brain), do a little sketch. Otherwise, write a detail from the book that is important.
3. Normal Function (what this thing does for you in your life)
4. Possible Malfunction (what could go wrong related to this thing, or describe any possible related disorders)
5. Class notes

*Make a card for each of the neurotransmitters in the neurotransmitter chart in the first section. You must add a card for every term that is in italics in the reading and for all terms in charts.
Also be sure to add a concept card for any section in the reading that doesn't have a vocab card. You need to know EVERYTHING in the textbook!
The reading for chapter 2 will be broken up into four homework assignments. Be sure to keep up in case I spot check cards!
