A&P Ch 7 Nervous System

What does the brain the spinal cord refer to?

• peripheral nervous system

• central nervous system

• autonomic nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

Somatic and sensory fibers carry information to and from where?

• skin and joints

• skin, joints and skeletal muscles

• internal organs

• central nervous system

The central nervous sytem contains these organ(s)

• brain and spinal cord

• brain, spinal cord and vertebrae

• skin, joints and muscles

• brain

These are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous sytem.

• central and peripheral

• sympathetic and parasympathetic

• dendrites and axons

Structural nervous system subdivision that consists of the brain and spinal cord

• Motor (efferent) division

• Sensory (afferent) division

• Peripheral nervous system (PNS)

• Central nervous system (CNS)

• Autonomic nervous system (ANS)

Functional nervous system subdivision that carries information toward the central nervous system from receptors

• Motor (efferent) division

• Sensory (afferent) division

• Peripheral nervous system (PNS)

• Central nervous system (CNS)

• Autonomic nervous system (ANS)

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

• Motor (efferent) division

• Sensory (afferent) division

• Peripheral nervous system (PNS)

• Central nervous system (CNS)

• Autonomic nervous system (ANS)

Subdivision of the motor division responsible for controlling involuntary events

• Motor (efferent) division

• Sensory (afferent) division

• Peripheral nervous system (PNS)

• Central nervous system (CNS)

• Autonomic nervous system (ANS)

Functional nervous system division that carries information from the central nervous system toward effectors

• Motor (efferent) division

• Sensory (afferent) division

• Peripheral nervous system (PNS)

• Central nervous system (CNS)

• Autonomic nervous system (ANS)
