2. rarely given credit, many people are uncertain about what tis player actually
accomplishes but none the less is important
5. Outside Linebacker: Neuropeptides – these are large players in the game
(physically) and they bond together well with polypeptide bonds they can be
excitatory for the game or inhibitory
LAB ANSWERS:
4.) T HE SPEED OF ELECTRICITY IN A COPPER WIRE IS 300,000,000 M / S COMPARED TO THE NERVE
IMPULSE AT 100 M / S . T HIS IS SUBSTANTIALLY QUICKER AND PROVES HOW SLOW THE HUMAN
REACTIONS REALLY ARE .
5.) E VERYBODY IS GOING TO HAVE A DIFFERING ANATOMY FROM ONE ANOTHER SO REACTIONS ARE
GOING TO DIFFER ALSO . A TALLER PERSON ’ S REACTION TIME WOULD BE LONGER BECAUSE THE
DISTANCE THE NEURONS HAVE TO TRAVEL IS LONGER . T HEREFORE , A SHORTER PERSON ’ S REACTION
TIME WOULD BE SLIGHTLY QUICKER BECAUSE OF A SHORTER DISTANCE .
5 types of Glia- The Glia represents the Play Book!
1.) Astrocytes - these are star shape cells that are located in the brain.
Astrocytes are like inside zone (which is a running play) This play gets the offense
going it, it transfer all the hard work they put in practice into the game.
2.) Microglia - Like astrocytes, microglia digest parts of dead neurons. Like the
Astrocytes this play breaks down the defense. It sends different players different
ways. (Which is a passing play)
3.) Oligodendroglia - Provide the insulation (myelin) to neurons in the central
nervous system. This play provides the spark in the offense. This play succeeds
every time its ran. Kick (This is a running play.
4.) Schwann cells - Provide the insulation (myelin) to neurons in the peripheral
nervous system. This play provides the points on the score board because we score
on it every time. All Go (pass play)
5. 4.) Don’t let your Competitions Size Intimidate you, because you Can’t
Measure Heart: “Autonomic Nervous system”
A lot of times athletes do is that they compare their outside physical appearance determine how they
match up against their opponent. This is a bad habit of the mind that you must overcome, lock up, and
get rid of! If you want to measure anything measure your heart, because how hard you push yourself
and your body’s limits will depict a much more intimidating opponent. Let your opponent know that
you have no fear! Next time in practice on the field, “ Am I taking advantage of my Autonomic side of
me, Am I pushing my outer body to do what I want it to do, Am I working harder than my opponent,
and Am I flipping the switch every time I step out of that locker room?”. The day you answers these
questions with an “I Am”, is the day you will say and believe whole heartedly that “I Am Great”.
COACHES SIDE NOTE EXPLANATION: 2.) ALL ATHLETES ARE DIFFERENT IN THEIR PHYSIQUE WHICH MAKES RESPONSE TIMES
DIFFERENT. ONE ATHLETE OF MINE HAD A STIMULUS SPEED OF 20.41 M/S WHICH WAS FASTER THAN A LOT OF MY OTHER
PLAYERS BUT DOESN’T MEAN HE WAS BETTER.
3.) HIS RESULTS DIFFERED FROM OTHER ATHLETES IS BECAUSE HIS PHYSIQUE IS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER ATHLETES THAT
HAVE BEEN TESTED. THEIR REACTION TIMES MAY BE FASTER BUT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEIR ATHLETE IS BETTER
THAN MY ATHLETE.
