A&P, The Nervous System Post Assessment

The function of the nervous system is

• nutrient delivery
• movement and support
• protection and thermoregulation 
• control and communication

The two major divisions of the nervous system are called the

• sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system
• axial nervous system and appendicular nervous system
• central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
• the nervous system and the endocrine system

The part of the nervous system that regulates involuntary functions is known as the

• central nervous system
• peripheral nervous system
• autonomic nervous system
• somatic nervous system

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of all nerve tissue located

• in the brain and spinal cord
• in the brain only
• in the spinal cord only
• outside of the brain and spinal cord

The largest major region of the human brain is the

• cerebellum
• brain stem
• diencephalon
• cerebrum

Processes visual information

• Frontal Lobe
• Temporal Lobe
• Occipital Lobe
• Parietal Lobe

Known as the "Little Brain" and is in charge of balance and coordinating movements

• Thalamus
• Reticular Formation
• Hypothalamus
• Cerebellum

The junction at which the end of the axon of a neuron meets the end of a dendrite or the cell body of another neuron 

• Synapse
• Neurotransmitter
• Axon
• Nucleus

Responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestion.

• Cerebellum
• The Brain Stem
• Frontal Lobe
• Cerebrum
