Functions and Divisions of the Nervous System

What is the main function of the sensory input in the nervous system?

• To interpret information

• To receive signals from receptors

• To send signals to muscles

• To transmit electrical impulses to the brain

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for integrating sensory information?

• Sensory neurons

• Brain and spinal cord

• Motor neurons

• Receptors

Motor output in the nervous system is responsible for:

• Gathering information from the environment

• Processing and analyzing data

• Sending responses to muscles and glands

• Maintaining homeostasis

The nervous system's ability to respond to stimuli is called:

• Integration

• Sensory input

• Motor output

• Neuroplasticity

The integration of sensory information allows the body to:

• Move

• Detect external stimuli

• Generate appropriate responses

• All of the above

Which division of the nervous system is responsible for voluntary control of skeletal muscles?

• Somatic nervous system

• Autonomic nervous system

• Central nervous system

• Peripheral nervous system

The autonomic nervous system controls:

• Skeletal muscle movements

• Involuntary actions such as heart rate

• Sensory processing

• Reflexes

Which of the following is a function of the sympathetic nervous system?

• Stimulating digestion

• Relaxing muscles

• Increasing heart rate during stress

• Restoring energy levels

The parasympathetic nervous system primarily controls:

• Fight or flight responses

• Rest and digestion

• Sensory processing

• Reflex actions

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of:

• Brain and spinal cord

• Brain and peripheral nerves

• Spinal cord and sensory organs

• Spinal cord and sympathetic nerves
