Front

What do motor neurons do?

Back

Motor neurons carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands.

Front

What are the main components of the central nervous system?

Back

The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.

Front

What type of neuron is responsible for transmitting signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system?

Back

Front

What is the role of the myelin sheath in neurons?

Back

The myelin sheath surrounds and insulates the axon, allowing for faster transmission of electrical impulses.

Front

What is the primary role of the cerebellum?

Back

The cerebellum is responsible for coordination, balance, and fine motor control.

Front

What is the difference between sensory neurons and motor neurons?

Back

Sensory neurons carry signals to the central nervous system, while motor neurons carry signals away from the central nervous system.

Front

What is the function of inter neurons?

Back

Inter neurons connect sensory and motor neurons and are involved in reflexes and processing information.

Front

What is the significance of the occipital lobe?

Back

The occipital lobe is primarily responsible for visual processing.

Front

What is a synapse?

Back

A synapse is the junction between two neurons where information is transmitted from one neuron to another.
