State the function of a neuron.

• Transmit electrical impulses

• Store energy

• Produce hormones

• Filter blood

Name the cell type that detects stimuli in the internal or external environment.

• Receptor

• Effector

• Neurone

• Synapse

How does the endocrine system bring about a change in our internal environment?

• Glands release hormones into the bloodstream, which then travel to the target organ to produce an effect

• Neurons transmit electrical impulses

• Muscles contract and relax

• Synapses connect different neurons

Which part of the nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord?

• Peripheral Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Autonomic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

Where is the cell body found in a sensory neuron?

• Along/On the neuron fiber

• At the beginning of the motor neuron

• In the spinal cord

• Near the brain

What is glycogen?

• A simple sugar found in fruits

• A complex/storage carbohydrate made up of glucose in the liver and muscles

• A protein that helps in muscle contraction

• A type of fat stored in adipose tissue

How is information passed through the synapse?

• Neurotransmitters/Chemicals are released, which diffuse across the synapse to the receptor sites on the next neurone

• Electrical impulses jump across the gap

• Hormones are secreted into the synapse

• Blood cells carry the information

Name a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.

• High protein diet

• Lack of exercise

• Excessive water intake

• Low salt diet

Which hormone inhibits the release of FSH?

• LH

• Estrogen

• Progesterone

• Testosterone

What is the role of the sensory neuron in a reflex arc?

• It sends signals to the effector.

• It acts as the coordinator.

• It sends signals to the coordinator.

• It is the effector.
