Format for Unit 3A and Unit 3B Flashcards

Keep an eye out for the reading schedule. Also, bring candy to class on Tuesday for our Candy Neurons group activity. (Four students to a group; plan together what candy each person can contribute for the assignment.)

Cards Unit 3A, 3B

For units 3A and 3B, some terms can be done the way you normally do your cards, but others are anatomical parts that you might not find names and examples for. If you have an anatomical term like "axon," use the format below. You need to have 6 things on the back of each card still. 

Front
1. Term
2. Key word or mnemonic
3. Initials

Back 
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 with an arrow pointing to the part. You may copy illustrations from the book. Otherwise, write a detail from the book that is important.
3. Normal Function (what this thing does normally)
4. Possible Malfunction (what could go wrong related to this thing, or describe any possible related disorders)
5. How does it interact with other structures
6. Class notes

TERMS TO ADD:
1. Make a card for each of the neurotransmitters in the neurotransmitter chart in the first section. 
2. ALSO please add a card for every term that is in italics in the reading and for all terms in charts.
3. 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!
