Intro to Nervous System

The part of the neuron that conducts action potentials (sends them to the next neuron) is the:

• Axon
• Dendrite
• Appetite
• Cell Body

Neurons that send information from the environment to the brain are called __________________

• Sensory Neurons
• Motor Neurons
• Interneurons

What are the main two parts of the CNS (central nervous system)?

• Brain and Skull
• Brain and Spinal Cord
• Spinal Cord and Nerves
• Nerve Cells and Nerve Endings

The part of the neuron that receives signals is the:

• Axon
• Dendrite
• Axon Terminal
• Cell Body

What is the main control center of the body that contains the brain and spinal cord?

• Peripheral nervous system
• Central nervous system
• Autonomic nervous system
• Somatic nervous system

True or False? The somatic nervous system is responsible for involuntary actions.

• False

• True

The spinal cord is protected by

• cranium
• vertebrae
• stratum corneum
• Stark Model XII exoskeleton

Neurons that send information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and other systems are called

• Sensory Neurons
• Motor Neurons
• Interneurons

Which part of the neuron is responsible for transmitting signals away from the cell body?

• Synapse

• Axon

• Dendrite

• Cell Body

Nerve Cells are also called:

• Capillaries
• Axons
• Neurons
• NeoCortex
