Human Brain and Nervous System - Part 2

Part of the brain that controls involuntary functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and digestion. It also connects the brain to the spinal cord and carries nerve impulses between the brain and spinal cord.

• Cerebellum

• Brain stem

• Cerebrum

• Thalamus

The cerebrum is divided into the _______ and ______hemispheres,

• right and left

• anterior and posterior

• superior and inferior

• dorsal and ventral

It controls body position, coordination, and balance.

• Cerebellum

• Cerebrum

• Brainstem

• Thalamus

This division deals with emergency situations and prepares the body for 'fight or flight.'

• Parasympathetic Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

• Enteric Nervous System

What lobe of the brain is involved with vision?

• Frontal Lobe

• Temporal Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

• Occipital Lobe

What lobe of the brain is involved in personality characteristics, decision-making, movement, and recognition of smell?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

Part of the brain that controls conscious functions, such as thinking, sensing, speaking, and voluntary muscle movements.

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brainstem

• Thalamus

This controls involuntary activities not under conscious control, such as heart rate, breathing, digestion, and sweat production.

• Autonomic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Peripheral Nervous System

A __________ is a very rapid response that is not directed by the brain.

• Reflex

• Impulse

• Reaction

• Instinct

What are the two main divisions of the peripheral nervous system?

• The sensory division and the motor division.

• The autonomic division and the somatic division.

• The central division and the peripheral division.

• The sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.
