Functions of Nervous System

What is the function of a motor neuron?

• to carry impulses to the frontal lobe

• To carry impulses from the brain to the rest of the body

• To carry impulses to the brain

• to carry impulses to the medulla oblongata

What is the function of the parietal lobe of the brain?

• organizes and stores memories of sound and vision as well as processes auditory info

• interprets vision and assists with eye function

• Emotion & sensory interpretation; Receives and interprets nerve impulses from sensory receptors

• process intellectual information that helps with organization of thoughts

What is the function of the occipital lobe of the brain?

• Emotion and sensory interpretation; Receives and interprets nerve impulses from sensory receptors

• process intellectual information that helps with organization of thoughts

• organizes and stores memories of sound and vision as well as processes auditory info

• assists with vision and eye functioning

What is the function of the temporal lobe of the brain?

• organizes and stores memories of sound and vision as well as processes auditory info

• process intellectual information that helps with organization of thoughts

• Emotion and sensory interpretation; ; Receives and interprets nerve impulses from sensory receptors

• interprets vision and assist with eye function

What is the function of the frontal lobe of the brain?

• organizes and stores memories of sound and vision as well as processes auditory info

• Emotion and sensory interpretation; ; Receives and interprets nerve impulses from sensory receptors

• interprets vision and assist with eye function

What is the function of a sensory neuron?

• carry impulses to the brain and spinal cord

• carry impulses away from and to the brain/spinal cord

• carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord

What is the function of a mixed nerve?

• Carry impulses to the brain and spinal cord

• Carry impulses to the brain and spinal cord (CNS) as well as away to the rest of the body (PNS)

• Carry impulses to the CNS

• Carry impulses to the PNS

List the three kinds of nerves we have spoken about?

What is the function of the gray matter in the spinal cord?

• reflex center for body

• contain ascending and descending tracts

• • made up of interneurons or nerve cell bodies that carry information for reflexes and transfer information to the white matter nerve tracts

• transfer information directly to the PNS and interneurons involved in reflex arc

What is the function of white matter in the spinal cord?

• •Transmit information directly to the PNS and the interneurons involved in reflex arcs

• reflex center of the body

• Made up of interneurons or nerve cell bodies that carry information for reflexes and transfer information to the white matter nerve tracts

• contains ascending and descending tracts
