Nervous System

Front

What is the function of the spinal cord?

Back

The spinal cord is crucial for communication between the brain and the rest of the body, transmitting signals to and from the brain.

Front

Which part of the brain is responsible for voluntary muscle movements?

Back

The cerebrum controls voluntary muscle movements and interprets sensory information.

Front

What does the brain stem control?

Back

The brain stem controls involuntary muscle movements, such as breathing and heart rate.

Front

What is the role of the cerebellum in the nervous system?

Back

The cerebellum coordinates muscle movements and ensures that voluntary and involuntary muscles work together.

Front

If the cerebellum is damaged, what might happen?

Back

If the cerebellum is damaged, voluntary and involuntary muscles may not work together properly.

Front

What are the main components of the nervous system?

Back

The main components of the nervous system include the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Front

What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles?

Back

Voluntary muscles are controlled consciously (e.g., arm movements), while involuntary muscles operate automatically (e.g., heart beating).

Front

How does the brain communicate with the body?

Back

The brain communicates with the body through the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

Front

What is the role of sensory neurons?

Back

Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from the body to the brain.

Front

What is the role of motor neurons?

Back

Motor neurons carry signals from the brain to the muscles to initiate movement.
