Nervous System Overview Quiz

What are the two main divisions of the nervous system?

• Brain and Spinal Cord

• Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems

• Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems

• Somatic and Autonomic Nervous Systems

Which part of the central nervous system is responsible for coordinating responses?

• Cerebellum

• Spinal Cord

• Cerebrum

• Brain Stem

What are the components of the central nervous system?

• Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems

• Somatic and Autonomic Systems

• Brain, Brain Stem, and Spinal Cord

• Brain and Nerves

What does the somatic nervous system control?

• Digestion

• Heart rate

• Voluntary muscle movements

• Involuntary movements

How is the peripheral nervous system divided?

• Into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems

• Into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems

• Into the cerebrum and cerebellum

• Into the brain and spinal cord

Which nervous system is responsible for the 'fight or flight' response?

• Central Nervous System

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

What role does the parasympathetic nervous system play?

• It prepares the body for emergency responses.

• It controls voluntary muscle movements.

• It manages energy preservation and controls background processes.

• It sends sensory information to the central nervous system.

Which system controls involuntary processes like digestion and heart rate?

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

What is the main function of neurons?

• Regulating blood flow

• Supporting neural tissue

• Conducting electrical signals

• Controlling involuntary movements

What are glia responsible for?

• Conducting electrical signals

• Supporting and protecting neurons

• Controlling voluntary movements

• Initiating the 'fight or flight' response
