Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of neurons?

• Sensory neurone

• Relay neurone

• Motor neurone

• Interneurone

What is the function of a sensory neurone?

• Transmits impulses towards the central nervous system (CNS)

• Transmits impulses within the CNS

• Transmits impulses away from the CNS

• Transmits impulses to muscles

Which type of neurone transmits impulses within the central nervous system (CNS)?

• Sensory neurone

• Relay neurone

• Motor neurone

• Effector neurone

What is the role of a motor neurone?

• Transmits impulses towards the CNS

• Transmits impulses within the CNS

• Transmits impulses away from the CNS

• Transmits impulses to sensory receptors

Which part of the nervous system is considered the body's master control unit?

• Peripheral Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Autonomic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

What is the primary function of the Autonomic Nervous System?

• Carries sensory information from sensory organs to the CNS

• Regulates involuntary bodily processes

• Mobilizes bodily resources in response to threat

• Replenishes bodily resources by promoting digestion

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for controlling voluntary movements?

• Autonomic Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

What are the three major parts of the brain?

• Hindbrain, Midbrain, Forebrain

• Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem

• Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Occipital Lobe

• Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Amygdala

Which part of the nervous system mobilizes bodily resources in response to threat?

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

What is the function of the Spinal Cord in the nervous system?

• Regulates involuntary bodily processes

• A column of nerves between the brain and peripheral nervous system

• Replenishes bodily resources by promoting digestion

• Carries sensory information from sensory organs to the CNS
