Exploring the Nervous System Functions

What are the two main components of the Central Nervous System (CNS)?

• Brain and Spinal Cord

• Brain and Nerves

• Spinal Cord and Nerves

• Brain and Muscles

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

• Autonomic Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

• Peripheral Nervous System

Identify the primary function of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).

• To process information and coordinate responses

• To connect the CNS to limbs and organs

• To regulate involuntary body functions

• To control reflex actions

Which division of the Autonomic Nervous System is responsible for the "fight or flight" response?

• Sympathetic Nervous System

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

Explain how the Somatic Nervous System differs from the Autonomic Nervous System in terms of function.

• The Somatic Nervous System controls involuntary actions, while the Autonomic Nervous System controls voluntary actions.

• The Somatic Nervous System controls voluntary actions, while the Autonomic Nervous System controls involuntary actions.

• Both systems control voluntary actions.

• Both systems control involuntary actions.

Which of the following is a function of the Central Nervous System?

• Transmitting signals to muscles

• Processing sensory information

• Regulating heart rate

• Controlling digestion

Describe the role of the Parasympathetic Nervous System in the body.

• It prepares the body for intense physical activity.

• It calms the body and helps conserve energy.

• It controls voluntary muscle movements.

• It processes sensory information.

What is the primary role of the Autonomic Nervous System?

• To control voluntary muscle movements

• To regulate involuntary body functions

• To process sensory information

• To transmit signals to the brain

How does the Peripheral Nervous System interact with the Central Nervous System?

• It processes information independently of the CNS.

• It transmits information to and from the CNS.

• It only sends information to the CNS.

• It only receives information from the CNS.

What is the main difference between the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems?

• The Sympathetic Nervous System calms the body, while the Parasympathetic Nervous System prepares it for action.

• The Sympathetic Nervous System prepares the body for action, while the Parasympathetic Nervous System calms it.

• Both systems prepare the body for action.

• Both systems calm the body.
