Exam 4 Review

MULTIPLE CHOICE - Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Receptors are parts of the nervous system that allow it to

• initiate responses to information.

• process information.

• collect information.

• conduct impulses to muscles.

MULTIPLE CHOICE - Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. The nervous system controls the activity of muscles and glands. Muscles and glands can generate changes and are therefore called

• afferents.

• effectors.

• stimuli.

• visceral.

MULTIPLE CHOICE - Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Nerves and ganglia are structures found in the

• central nervous system.

• peripheral nervous system.

• central and peripheral nervous systems.

MULTIPLE CHOICE - Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 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.

MULTIPLE CHOICE - Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. The afferent division of the nervous system is also known as the__________ division.

• motor

• cranial

• ganglial

• efferent

• sensory

MULTIPLE CHOICE - Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 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
