Nervous system

Which of the following is not a main function of the nervous system?

• notice changes inside and outside of the body

• use senses to understand what is going on outside of the body

• send information to muscles in response to sensory information

• contract and relax so that automatic responses occur in the body

What are the three main parts of the nervous system?

• skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle

• brain, spinal cord, nerves

• brain, nerves, muscle

• nerves, axons, fascicles

The central nervous system is like _________, and the peripheral nervous system is like __________

• a boss; workers

• a brain; muscles

• a capitalist; the government

• a parent; a grandparent

Some parts of the peripheral nervous system are:

• the somatic nervous system, the central nervous system, the autonomic nervous system

• the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, skeletal muscles

• the somatic nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system

• the parasympathetic nervous system, the central nervous system, the somatic nervous system

The somatic nervous system controls

• fight or flight

• rest and digest

• voluntary movements

• involuntary movements

The sympathetic nervous system controls

• fight or flight

• skeletal muscles

• involuntary muscle movements

• rest and digest

Which part of the nervous system controls involuntary movements?

• the automatic nervous system

• the autonomic nervous system

• the autocratic nervous system

• the autolytic nervous system

Which part of our nervous system works closely with the digestive system to control movement of food through the stomach and intestines?

• autonomic nervous system

• somatic nervous system

• parasympathetic nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

Our nervous system works closely with the musculoskeletal system to help us move throughout our day. Which specific part of the nervous system helps us move our legs for running or our arms for lifting objects up?

• somatic nervous system

• central nervous system

• peripheral nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

To complete the movement seen in the image here, which parts and functions of the body will be working together?

• bicep muscle, somatic nervous system, contraction

• bicep muscle, sympathetic nervous system, contraction

• tricep muscle, sympathetic nervous system, relaxation

• trapezius muscle, somatic nervous system, relaxation
