Nervous System Quiz

Central nervous system includes which two main parts?

• brain and spinal cord

• kidneys and bladder

• stomach and liver

• heart and lungs

What is the function of the spinal cord in the central nervous system?

• Producing hormones

• Regulating body temperature

• Transmitting nerve signals and coordinating reflexes

• Digesting food

What is the role of the brain in the central nervous system?

• Control center of the central nervous system

• Regulates body temperature

• Produces hormones

• Pumps blood to the body

How does the central nervous system communicate with the rest of the body?

• Through the digestive system

• Through a series of tubes

• Through the circulatory system

• Through a network of nerves

What are the main components of the Nervous System Lesson 5?

• stomach, intestines, and kidneys

• heart, lungs, and liver

• muscles, bones, and skin

• brain, spinal cord, and nerves

What is the function of the neurons in the nervous system?

• Producing energy through photosynthesis

• Regulating body temperature

• Storing nutrients in the liver

• Transmitting information through electrical and chemical signals

What are the different types of neurons?

• Big neurons, small neurons, and medium neurons

• Happy neurons, sad neurons, and angry neurons

• Sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons

• Red neurons, blue neurons, and green neurons

Explain the process of synaptic transmission.

• Neuron communicates with another neuron or a target cell through the release of neurotransmitters and binding to receptors.

• Synaptic transmission is the process of electrical conduction through the nervous system

• It involves the release of hormones into the bloodstream

• Neurons communicate through direct physical contact

What are the main parts of the brain and their functions?

• The main parts of the brain are the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe. The frontal lobe is responsible for thinking, perceiving, and understanding language. The parietal lobe controls coordination and balance. The occipital lobe regulates basic bodily functions such as breathing and heart rate.

• The main parts of the brain are the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The cerebrum is responsible for thinking, perceiving, and understanding language. The cerebellum controls coordination and balance. The brainstem regulates basic bodily functions such as breathing and heart rate.

• The main parts of the brain are the stomach, liver, and kidneys. The stomach is responsible for thinking, perceiving, and understanding language. The liver controls coordination and balance. The kidneys regulate basic bodily functions such as breathing and heart rate.

• The main parts of the brain are the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland. The hypothalamus is responsible for thinking, perceiving, and understanding language. The pituitary gland controls coordination and balance. The pineal gland regulates basic bodily functions such as breathing and heart rate.

How does the nervous system respond to external stimuli?

• By changing the color of the skin in reaction to the stimuli

• By releasing hormones into the bloodstream

• By sending electrical signals through neurons to the brain

• By contracting muscles in response to the stimuli
