| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the ability to adapt structure and function of a thing(e.g. cells). It is influenced by activity and experience. | plasticity definition |
| the ability of the CNS to adapt it's structure and function (or simply change). | neuroplasticity definition |
| activities and experiences | what influences plasticity |
| experiences(behavior), environment and emotions(cognition) | what influences neuroplasticity |
| the ability of muscles to adapt function and structure (or simply change). | skeletal muscle plasticity |
| anabolism and catabolism. *anabolism occurs when: there's increased activity, use of growth hormones (steroids) *catabolism occurs when: there's decreased activity, disorganization, abnormality and atrophy (bed rest) | what are the two processes in which skeletal muscle plasticity occurs? And name two things that influence each process. |
