Somatic reflexes
are voluntary responses to stimulus
don't require a message from the brain
pass sensory information directly to the brain
are controlled by the autonomic nervous system
The nervous system
works to make sure you eat healthy foods
is the only system responsible for your breathing
send messages to and from your brain
is made up just the spinal cord and neurons
A neuron is most similar to

an apartment building where many families live
telephone wires that carries messages along
The peripheral nervous system
acts with the CNS to coordinate many responses
includes the brain and spinal cord
is located at the center of the body

does not require the brain, spinal cord, nerves or neurons to function
controls only reflex actions, like moving your hand away from a hot stove
controls voluntary actions, like running and dancing
regulates your body’s internal processes, like your heartbeat
Eduardo felt something fluffy on the back of his leg and realized it was his dog Peaches. Which of the following describes how this happened?
First, neurons carried a message from Eduardo’s legs to his spinal cord. Then, his spinal cord sent it along to the brain to process. Lastly, his brain determined that it was the dog.
First, neurons carried a message from Eduardo’s legs to his spinal cord. Then, his spinal cord processed the information and determined that it was the dog
