Nervous System

What body systems are involved when humans feel hungry?

• Circulatory, digestive, muscular, and nervous systems

• Respiratory, endocrine, skeletal, and immune systems

• Integumentary, lymphatic, reproductive, and urinary systems

• Cardiovascular, digestive, and sensory systems

What is the spinal cord's function?

• To produce hormones that regulate metabolism.

• To transmit signals between the brain and the rest of the body and is involved in reflex actions.

• To filter toxins from the blood and produce urine.

• To control voluntary muscle movements.

What are motor neurons?

• Cells that transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles, causing movement.

• Cells that receive signals from sensory organs and transmit them to the brain.

• Cells that connect different parts of the brain to each other.

• Cells that produce hormones to regulate bodily functions.

What is the difference between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system?

• The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves outside the CNS.

• The central nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements, while the peripheral nervous system controls involuntary actions.

• The central nervous system is located in the limbs, while the peripheral nervous system is located in the brain and spinal cord.

• The central nervous system processes sensory information, while the peripheral nervous system does not.

What is the function of the autonomic nervous system?

• It regulates voluntary muscle movements.

• It regulates involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate and digestion.

• It controls conscious thought processes.

• It is responsible for sensory perception.

What is the role of the brain in the nervous system?

• The brain processes information and coordinates responses, acting as the control center of the nervous system.

• The brain produces hormones that regulate bodily functions.

• The brain stores memories and experiences for future reference.

• The brain generates electrical impulses to stimulate muscle movement.

What is the role of neurotransmitters?

• Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another.

• Neurotransmitters are hormones that regulate mood and emotions.

• Neurotransmitters are proteins that build muscle tissue.

• Neurotransmitters are enzymes that break down food in the digestive system.

What makes up the Central Nervous System?

• The Brain and Spinal Cord

• The Heart and Lungs

• The Kidneys and Liver

• The Stomach and Intestines

What is the function of neurons in the nervous system?

• Neurons carry impulses around the body, facilitating communication between different parts of the body.

• Neurons produce hormones that regulate bodily functions.

• Neurons are responsible for the production of red blood cells.

• Neurons help in the digestion of food.

Which cell relays messages from one tissue to another?

• The Neuron

• The Erythrocyte

• The Osteocyte

• The Adipocyte
