Biopsychosocial Model Quiz

What does the Biopsychosocial Model suggest about health?

• It is solely determined by biological factors.

• It is influenced by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors.

• It is only affected by psychological factors.

• It is primarily a result of environmental conditions.

What is the primary function of the nervous system?

• To digest food and absorb nutrients.
• To circulate blood throughout the body.
• 
  To transport oxygen to cells
  

• To send and receive messages throughout the body
  

What is the main function of dendrites?

• To transmit signals to other neurons.
• To protect the cell body from damage.
• The main function of dendrites is to receive signals from other neurons.
• To store neurotransmitters for later use.

What is the role of the axon in a neuron?

• The axon receives signals from other neurons.
• The axon stores neurotransmitters for later use.
• The axon transmits electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.
• The axon protects the neuron from damage.

What is the function of the myelin sheath?

• To insulate axons and increase the speed of electrical impulses.
• To store neurotransmitters for synaptic transmission.
• To transmit signals between neurons directly.
• To provide structural support to neurons.

Where are neurotransmitters released in a neuron?

• In the cell body.
• From the axon terminal into the synapse.

• Within the myelin sheath.
• Along the axon membrane.
