The Nervous System Quiz

What is the main function of the nervous system?

• Producing hormones

• Regulating body temperature

• Receiving and transmitting information throughout the body

• Digesting food

What are the two main parts of the nervous system?

• Brain and heart

• Spinal cord and lungs

• Sensory nervous system and motor nervous system

• Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system

• The Medulla nervous system

What is the brain's role in the nervous system?

• Regulating body temperature

• Digesting food and absorbing nutrients

• Pumping blood throughout the body

• Processing and interpreting information, making decisions, and sending instructions to the rest of the body.

What is the spinal cord's role in the nervous system?

• Regulating body temperature

• Producing hormones

• Digesting food

• Transmitting information and coordinating reflexes

What are neurons and what is their function?

• Neurons are found in the digestive system and their function is to regulate heart rate

• Neurons are a type of muscle and their function is to produce insulin

• Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and their function is to transmit information throughout the body.

• Neurons are only found in the brain and their function is to regulate body temperature

What is the difference between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system?

• The central nervous system is responsible for motor functions and peripheral nervous system is responsible for sensory functions

• The central nervous system includes the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system includes the brain

• The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord.

• The central nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system and peripheral nervous system is part of the somatic nervous system

What is the function of the sensory neurons?

• Store and retrieve memories

• Transmit signals from the sensory organs to the central nervous system

• Produce hormones for the endocrine system

• Regulate muscle movement

What is the function of the motor neurons?

• Produce hormones for the body

• Receive signals from the muscles and organs

• Regulate body temperature

• Transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles, glands, and organs

What is a reflex and how does it involve the nervous system?

• A reflex involves the circulatory system through a circulatory arc.

• A reflex involves the digestive system through a digestive arc.

• A reflex involves the muscular system through a muscle arc.

• A reflex involves the nervous system through a neural pathway called a reflex arc.

What are the different types of nerves in the human body?

• Fast nerves, slow nerves, and medium nerves

• Sensory nerves, motor nerves, and mixed nerves

• Red nerves, blue nerves, and green nerves

• Happy nerves, sad nerves, and angry nerves
