Document Summary
Chapter 5: physical and motor development in infancy: Action potential the electrochemical exchange along the axon filter. Arborization in reference to dendrites, the growth of spines or trees connected to neighboring cells. Autonomic in the nervous system, concerned with automatic and nonvoluntary processes. Autonomic nervous system (ans) an involuntary control system that operates at the level below consciousness. Responsible for heart rate, respiration, digestion, among other basic processes necessary for survival. Basal ganglia located at the base of the forebrain and plays a role in the control of motor behavior. Canalization refers to the persistence of a developmental outcome despite less than optimal circumstances. Cell assemblies unites of aggregate pathways in the brain that help construct familiar perceptions. Cell body component of the neuron containing the nucleus.
