Worksheet time: 20mins
What is the main function of the Central Nervous System (CNS)
Communication system between the brain and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Communication system between muscle and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Communication system between the heart and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Communication system between the spine and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
What is the main function of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)?
Communicate information from the body’s organs, glands and muscles to the CNS
Communicate information from the body’s organs, glands and muscles to the CNS and vice versa
Communicate information to the body’s organs, glands and muscles to the CNS
Communication between sensory neurons and motor neurons
Two subdivisions off the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) are?
The brain and the spinal cord
Sympathetic nervous system and Parasympathetic nervous system
Sensory neurons and Motor neurons
Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System
The somatic nervous system is:
Responsible for INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT and relays information from the environment to the CNS and relays information from the environment to the CNS so the brain is able to make decisions about behaviour.
Responsible for INVOLUNTARY muscle stimulation which includes the stimulation of our organs such as heart, digestive tract and glands.
Responsible for VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT and relays information from the environment to the CNS and relays information from the environment to the CNS so the brain is able to make decisions about behaviour.
Responsible for VOLUNTARY muscle stimulation which includes the stimulation of our organs such as heart, digestive tract and glands.
The autonomic nervous system is:
Responsible for INVOLUNTARY muscle stimulation which includes the stimulation of our organs such as heart, digestive tract and glands.
Responsible for VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT and relays information from the environment to the CNS so the brain is able to make decisions about behaviour.
Responsible for VOLUNTARY muscle stimulation which includes the stimulation of our organs such as heart, digestive tract and glands.
Responsible for INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT and relays information from the environment to the CNS so the brain is able to make decisions about behaviour.
Which of the following parts of the Peripheral Nervous system (PNS) contain the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system?
Somatic
Autonomic
The brain
The spine
The sympathetic nervous system:
Is our emergency nervous system that helps us calm down after a fright
Calms us back down and reverts the body back to normal functioning or homeostasis
Is our emergency NS when we perceive that we are in danger or in times of stress. It initiates the fight, flight or freeze response.
Is our emergency NS when we perceive that we are in danger or in times of stress and reverts the body back to normal functioning or homeostasis
The parasympathetic nervous system:
Is our emergency NS when we perceive that we are in danger or in times of stress. It initiates the fight, flight or freeze response.
Calms us back down and reverts the body back to normal functioning or homeostasis
Is our emergency NS when we perceive that we are in danger or in times of stress and calms us back down and reverts the body back to normal functioning or homeostasis
Calms us back down after it initiates the fight, flight or freeze response.
What constants does homeostasis control in the body?
Body temperature and heart rate
Body temperature and blood sugar levels
Blood sugar levels and heart rate
Heart rate and oxygen levels
What parts of the human body are involved in the flight, fight, freeze response?
Legs, arms, heart
Feet, hands, hormone glands
Pupils, heart, intestine, bladder, saliva glands
Pupils, hormone glands, arms, legs
