Anatomy - Intro Nervous

Nervous tissue

• Tissue that is responsible for lining, covering, and glandular tissue
• Tissue responsible for protecting, supporting, and binding together other body tissues
• Tissues that contracts and shortens to produce movement
• Tissue that receives and conducts electrochemical impulses from one part of the body to another

Neurons are the name of cells in nervous system.

• True
• False

extensions of a neuron through which impulses are sent away from the cell body to other neurons, glands or muscles

• nerve fibers
• efferent nerves
• axon, axon terminal
• reflex

dendrites are like...

• Popsicle sticks 
• shoe laces
• a ahir brush
• tree branches

The actual gap in the synapse is called the

• synaptic bridge
• synaptic vesicle
• synaptic membrane
• synaptic cleft

Nerve impulses travel faster through unmyelinated axons.

• True
• False

What are the two parts of the nervous system? 

• The brain and spinal cord
• The central nervous and peripheral nervous system 
• The neurons and the dendrites
• The cerebrum and the medulla

What does the peripheral nervous system do? 

• Help you learn new facts
• Help nerve impulses move
• Controls imagination 
• Delivers messages from the Central Nervous system to body 

Which of the following is NOT part of the central nervous system?

• The brain
• The spinal cord
• The brain stem
• Spinal nerves

What does the autonomic nervous system control?

• Voluntary movement
• Cardiac muscles only
• Involuntary responses
• The spinal cord
