nervous system review

Front

What are touch sensory receptors responsible for?

Back

Touch sensory receptors respond to stimuli such as pain, light pressure, deep pressure, and vibration.

Front

What is the correct order of the direction of a message in a neuron?

Back

Dendrite -> Cell Body -> Axon -> Synapse.

Front

Which structure in a neuron is responsible for receiving signals?

Back

Dendrites are responsible for receiving signals.

Front

What division of the nervous system is responsible for the 'fight or flight' response?

Back

The sympathetic division is responsible for the 'fight or flight' response.

Front

What is an example of a chemoreceptor?

Back

Taste buds are an example of a chemoreceptor.

Front

What is the function of the axon in a neuron?

Back

The axon transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.

Front

What role do sensory receptors play in the nervous system?

Back

Sensory receptors detect environmental stimuli and convert them into electrical signals for the nervous system.

Front

What is the difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?

Back

The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions.

Front

What is the function of the synapse in neural communication?

Back

The synapse is the junction where neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals between neurons.

Front

What are the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system?

Back

The two main divisions are the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.
