Nervous System Quiz

Imagine Maya, David, and Ethan are playing a game of 'telephone'. Maya whispers a message to David, who then whispers it to Ethan. In this scenario, what role does the nervous system play?

• None of the above

• It's like Maya, carrying information from the body (David) to the brain (Ethan)

• It's like Ethan, carrying information from the brain (Maya) to the body (David)

• It's like both Maya and Ethan, carrying information to and from the body and brain

Imagine Ava, Benjamin, and Rohan are exploring the human body. They come across two main sections of the nervous system. Can you help them identify these sections?

• Brain and Spinal Cord

• Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System

• Dendrites and Axons

• Nerve Cells and Neurons

Imagine David, Rohan, and Jackson are playing a video game. In the game, which part of their character's nervous system would be the command center, controlling all their actions?

• Peripheral Nervous System

• Spinal Cord

• Neurons

• Brain

Imagine Ava, Liam, and Henry are on a quest to discover the mysteries of the human brain. They stumble upon a question that leaves them puzzled: 'Approximately, how many neurons are there in the brain?'

• 8.6 trillion

• 86 million

• 86 billion

• 860 billion

Imagine Benjamin, David, and Maya are tiny scientists exploring a neuron. They come across dendrites. What would they observe the dendrites doing in the neuron?

• Bringing electrical impulses into the body of the neuron

• Carrying electrical impulses away from the body of the neuron

• Connecting with other neurons

• Releasing neurotransmitters

Daniel, Priya, and Abigail are on a quest to understand the human body. They are currently exploring the function of the spinal cord. Can you help them figure it out?

• Is it to connect with sense organs?

• Does it protect the brain?

• Does it carry electrical impulses to and from the brain?

• Or does it control basic tasks on its own?

Imagine Olivia, Evelyn, and Abigail are studying for their biology exam. They come across a tricky question: What is the role of neurotransmitters in the nervous system?

• Is it to control basic tasks on its own?

• Or to carry electrical impulses across synapses?

• Maybe to provide energy to the neurons?

• Or could it be to protect the neurons?

Imagine Luna, Henry, and Ethan are having a race, but instead of running, they are sending electrical impulses through their bodies. How fast do you think these impulses can travel?

• 250 miles per hour

• 50 miles per hour

• 10 miles per hour

• 100 miles per hour

Imagine Abigail, Jackson, and Aria are on a thrilling adventure in a science museum. They come across a display about the human nervous system. The display asks, 'Which type of neurons take information from our sense organs to the central nervous system?'

• Sensory neurons

• Dendrites

• Axons

• Motor neurons

Imagine Abigail, Kai, and Evelyn are in a science quiz. The quizmaster asks, 'What is the function of motor neurons?' How would you help them answer?

• To carry information from the sense organs to the central nervous system

• To connect with other neurons

• To carry information from the central nervous system to muscles and organs

• To release neurotransmitters
