Intro to nervous system

The part of the neuron that receives signals is the:

• Axon
• Dendrite
• Axon Terminal
• Cell Body

The part of the neuron that conducts action potentials (sends them to the next neuron) is the:

• Axon
• Dendrite
• Appetite
• Cell Body

What are the main two parts of the CNS (central nervous system)?

• Brain and Skull
• Brain and Spinal Cord
• Spinal Cord and Nerves
• Nerve Cells and Nerve Endings

Neurons that send information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and other systems are called

• Sensory Neurons
• Motor Neurons
• Interneurons

Neurons that send information from the environment to the brain are called __________________

• Sensory Neurons
• Motor Neurons
• Interneurons

The electrical messages sent through the nervous system are called ____________. 

• Impulses
• Neurons
• Dendrites
• Transmissions

Which function of the nervous system controls the response of effector organs, muscles, or glands?

• Integration

• Motor output

• Sensory input

Which function of the nervous system monitors internal and external stimuli?

• Integration

• Sensory input

• Motor output

Which function of the nervous system processes and interprets sensory input?

• Integration

• Sensory input

• Motor output

what might be a job of a motor neuron?

• connecting to a muscle and helping you move

• connecting within the brain to help you make a decision

• sending a message toward your brain from a pain receptor in your skin

• all of these
