Nervous System Review #1

The ______________ is the master control and communication center of the body that uses electrical impulses.

• nervous system

• endocrine system

• cardiovascular system

• lymphatic system

What body system works with the nervous system to help regulate and maintain body homeostasis?

• cardiovascular system

• integumentary system

• reproductive system

• endocrine system

The nervous system has three overlapping functions. List these functions in order in which they occur.

• motor output, integration, sensory input

• sensory input, integration, motor output

• integration, sensory input, motor output

• sensory input, motor output, integration

What are the two main structural subdivisions of the nervous system?

• central and peripheral

• somatic and autonomic

• sensory and motor

• autonomic and sympathetic

The term central nervous system refers to the

• autonomic and peripheral nervous systems

• brain, spinal cord, and cranial nerves

• brain and cranial nerves

• spinal cord and spinal nerves

• brain and spinal cord

Structural nervous system subdivision that consists of spinal nerves and cranial nerves.

• central nervous system

• motor (efferent) division

• peripheral nervous system

• autonomic nervous system

Function classification of the nervous system in which nerve fibers carry impulses away from the CNS to effector organs.

• interneurons

• sensory division

• afferent division

• motor division

Which major subdivision of the nervous system serves as the communication lines among sensory organs, the brain and spinal cord, and glands or muscles?

• central nervous system

• autonomic nervous system

• somatic nervous system

• peripheral nervous system

Function classification of the nervous system in which nerve fibers carry impulses to the CNS from the skin, muscles, and glands.

• central nervous system

• peripheral nervous system

• sensory division

• motor division

Mr. Warren has spinal cord damage that prevents nerve impulses from being carried from the CNS to muscles or glands. What specific type of neuron has been damaged?

• afferent neurons

• sensory neuron

• motor neuron

• axon terminals
