Question

module 5 neurons: the basic elements of behavior learning outcomes lo 5 - 1 why do psychologists study the brain and the nervous system? lo 5 - 2 what are the basic elements of the nervous system? lo 5 - 3 how does the nervous system communicate electrical and chemical messages from one part to another?

Explanation:

Psychologists study the brain and nervous system to understand behavior as neurons, the basic elements of the nervous system, are crucial for mental processes and actions. The basic elements include neurons, synapses, etc. The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses (action - potentials) along neurons and chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) across synapses.

Answer:

LO 5 - 1: To understand behavior as the brain and nervous system underlie mental processes and actions.
LO 5 - 2: Neurons, synapses, etc.
LO 5 - 3: Through electrical impulses (action - potentials) along neurons and chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) across synapses.
