Identify the two parts that make up the central nervous system:
the brain and the spinal column
the autonomic and the somatic nervous systems
the brain and the spinal cord
the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord
Identify the two parts that make up the peripheral nervous system:
the brain and the spinal cord
the central and somatic nervous systems
the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
the somatic and autonomic nervous systems
Sensory neurons in your toes are part of which nervous system?
central
peripheral
autonomic
sensory
A monosynaptic reflex arc is made up of:
one sensory neuron, one synapse and one motor neuron
one sensory neuron, two synapses and one motor neuron
one sensory neuron, one interneuron, two synapses and one motor neuron
many sensory neurons, many synapses and many motor neurons
The function of the parietal lobe of the brain is to:
perform abstract thinking, social skills and planning.
process auditory information.
process information from the retinas.
perceive touch, non-verbal thought and spatial orientation.
The areas of the brain involved in processing language are:
Broca's area, Wernicke's area and the primary somatosensory cortex.
Broca's area, Wernicke's area and Geschwind's territory.
Broca's area, the corpus collosum and Geschwind's territory.
basal ganglia, Wernicke's area and Geschwind's territory.
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems differ in that:
the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the flight or fight response whereas the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the freeze response.
the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the flight response whereas the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the freeze response.
the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the fight response whereas the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the freeze response.
the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the flight or fight response whereas the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the freeze response.
The primary motor cortex is located in:
the frontal lobes.
the parietal lobes.
the temporal lobes.
the occipital lobes.
Wernicke's area is located in the left temporal lobe. It is responsible for:
coordinating the movement of the lips, tongue and vocal cords to articulate words.
connecting Broca's area to the rest of the brain via a bundle of nerve fibres.
storing receptor codes that interpret the meaning of language and for creating grammatically correct speech.
processing visual stimuli.
An example of an autonomic response would be:
moving our hand away from a sharp object
deliberately taking action to minimise harm from a threat.
learning to drive a car.
change in the diameter of pupils in response to light levels.
