Nervous System 6-2

What are the main components of the nervous system?

• The brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves.

• The heart, the liver, and the kidneys

• The lungs, the stomach, and the muscles

• The pancreas, the spleen, and the intestines

What superpowers does the central nervous system have?

• Control the weather, predict the future, and communicate with extraterrestrials

• Reproduce cells, regulate body temperature, and digest food

• Cook food, clean the house, and exercise

• Process sensory information, coordinate motor activities, and regulate bodily functions.

What is the main role of the peripheral nervous system?

• Help the body respond to danger

• Transmit information between the brain and the rest of the body

• Control body movements

• Regulate breathing

What makes up the structure of a neuron?

• The cell body, dendrites, and axon

• The brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves

• The veins, arteries, and capillaries

• The nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoplasm

What is myelin and what is its role in the nervous system?

• The myelin is a neurotransmitter that helps us remember our dreams

• The myelin is a chemical compound that gives us superhuman strength

• The myelin is a type of cell in the nervous system that helps us taste different flavors

• The myelin acts as an electrical insulator and speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses.

What is the main role of the autonomic nervous system?

• Control the digestive system.

• Regulate conscious body functions.

• Regulate body temperature.

• Control involuntary body functions.

What is a nerve impulse and how is it transmitted along a neuron?

• It's like a spark of electricity that zips along a neuron, kind of like a lightning bolt in the sky.

• It's like a wave of energy that travels along a neuron, similar to a ripple in a pond.

• It's like a burst of color that moves along a neuron, almost like a rainbow in the sky.

• It's like a jolt of electricity that travels along a neuron, similar to a surge of energy in a power line.

Why is the nervous system so important in controlling muscle movements?

• Muscle movements are controlled by the rhythm of a dance

• The nervous system is not important in controlling muscle movements

• Muscle movements are controlled by the beat of a song

• The nervous system controls muscle movements through the transmission of electrical signals from the brain to motor neurons in the spinal cord, which then activate the muscles to produce movement.

Can you explain how the nervous system and the endocrine system are connected?

• The nervous system controls the body's functions, while the endocrine system controls emotions.

• The endocrine system is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses throughout the body.

• The nervous system and the endocrine system have no relationship with each other.

• Both systems are interconnected and communicate with each other through neurotransmitters and hormones.

What is the main function of the nervous system in sensory perception?

• The nervous system has no role in sensory perception

• The sensory perception is not related to the nervous system

• The nervous system only transmits information to the body, not to the brain

• The nervous system is responsible for receiving, processing, and transmitting sensory information to the brain for perception.
