Motor Neuron

c)

Retina

2.

A neuron that transmits impulses between other

neurons, especially as part of a reflex arc.

a)

Motor Neuron

b)

Interneuron

c)

Cochlea

3.

Motor neurons are the nerve cells along which the brain

sends instructions, in the form of electrical impulses, to

the muscles

a)

Sensory Neuron

b)

Motor Neuron

c)

Interneuron

4.

Consists of the brain and spinal cord, to which sensory

impulses are transmitted and from which motor impulses

pass out, and which coordinates the activity of the entire nervous system

a)

Peripheral Nervous System

b)

Central Nervous System

c)

Somatic Nervous System

5.

The nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord.

a)

Somatic Nervous System

b)

Autonomic Nervous System

c)

Peripheral Nervous System

6.

The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain upper and is

the main part of the brain of vertebrate animals. It has left

and right hemispheres. The cerebrum controls conscious and voluntary processes.

a)

Cerebrum

b)

Cerebellum

c)

Retina

7.

The part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates. Its function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity to include movement and balance.

a)

Brain Stem

b)

Cerebellum

c)

Cochlea

8.

The part of the brain located at the base of the brain and

made up of the medulla oblongata, The brainstem controls and regulates vital body functions, including respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure.

a)

Endocrine gland

b)

Cochlea

c)

Brain Stem

9.

The part of the nervous system that controls

voluntary movements in the body, such as those

performed by the skeletal muscles

a)

Somatic Nervous System

b)

Autonomic Nervous System

c)

Central Nervous System

10.

Glands of the endocrine system that produce hormones and secrete them into the bloodstream.

a)

Pituitary gland

b)

Hypothalamus

c)

Endocrine gland

11.

The part of the nervous system that is responsible for

regulating involuntary body functions, such as heartbeat,

blood flow, breathing and digestion.

a)

Autonomic Nervous System

b)

Motor Neuron

c)

Somatic Nervous System

12.

A layer at the back of the eyeball containing cells that are sensitive to light and that trigger nerve impulses that pass via the optic nerve to the brain, where a visual image is formed.

a)

Retina

b)

Cochlea

c)

Neuron

13.

A neuron that transmits nerve impulses from a sense organ towards the central nervous system.

a)

Motor neuron

b)

Sensory neuron

c)

Interneuron

14.

The cochlea is the part of the inner ear that converts mechanical energy (vibrations) into nerve impulses sent to the brain.

a)

Brain stem

b)

Retina

c)

Cochlea

15.

The area of the brain that secretes substances that influence pituitary and other gland function and is involved in the control of body temperature,hunger, thirst, and other processes that regulate body equilibrium.

a)

Hypothalamus

b)

Cerebellum

c)

Cerebrum

16.

It is called the master gland because it produces hormones that control other glands and many body functions including growth.

a)

Endocrine gland

b)

Pituitary gland

c)

Cochlea
