Receptors are parts of the nervous system that allow it to

• initiate responses to information.

• process information.

• collect information.

• conduct impulses to muscles.

The nervous system controls the activity of muscles and glands. Muscles and glands can generate changes and are therefore called

• afferents.

• effectors

• stimuli

• visceral

Nerves and ganglia are structures found in the

• central nervous system.

• peripheral nervous system

• central and peripheral nervous system

Which is not a general function of the nervous system?

• Transporting materials throughout the body

• Collecting sensory information

• Processing and integrating information from receptors

• Responding to stimuli through motor commands to effectors

• No exceptions; all are general functions of the nervous system

The afferent division of the nervous system is also known as the _____ division.

• motor

• cranial

• ganglial

• efferent

• sensory

Which is not a function of the motor division of the nervous system?

• Conducts impulses from the CNS

• Transmits impulses to muscles and glands

• Transmits impulses from the viscera

• Voluntary control of skeletal muscle

• Involuntary control of the heart

The portion of the nervous system that conducts impulses from the skin, joints, skeletal muscles, and special senses is the _____ division.

• autonomic motor

• somatic sensory

• somatic motor

• visceral sensory

The portion of the nervous system that has voluntary control over skeletal muscles is the _____ division.

• autonomic motor
