What is true about nerves?
Nerves all have the same job - to send messages TO the brain and spinal cord.
Nerves all have the same job - to send messages AWAY the brain and spinal cord.
Nerves all have different jobs -some only send messages TO to the brain and spinal cord with other only send messages AWAY from the brain and spinal cord.

Which of the following is the nervous system?
The speed of neural conduction between neurons will result in difficulties in speaking, vision, and balance if the ________________ insulating the axons is damaged or removed.
Axon
Myelin Sheath
Nucleus
Brain
Dr. Vazquez is examining a cell from the nervous system of an animal. He notices that at one end of the cell body is a long, fibrous strand of tissue. He immediately recognizes this as an axon that is responsible for
carrying signals away from the cell body
receiving signals from other cells and carrying them toward the cell body.
determining the speed at which an action potential will travel
determining whether the cell inhibits or excites neighboring neurons
Which of the following is regulated by the autonomic nervous system
Breathing
Kicking a soccer ball
Balancing on one foot
Raising your hand

What does the neuron's Axon do?
Controls the actions of the neuron
Produces food for the neuron
Carries information from the cell body to other neuronsThis is a wrong answer
Controls speed of electrical signal through the axon
What do Dendrites do?
