What is the function of the nerve cells?
They are responsable of your defense mechanism.
They transmit signals or messages to other neurons, organs or glands.
They transmit substances to your endocrine system to produce hormones.

What direction foes the electrical signal travel through the neuron?
From dendrites, down the Axon, and out Axon terminalsThis is a correct answer
From Axon terminals, down the Axon, & out of the dendrites
Any direction up or down the cell
From the Axon, to the Dendrites, and out the Axon terminals

Right
Both
What does the neuron's nucleus 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 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?
Intakes information from other neurons
Produces fatty tissue for the Myelin Sheath
Sends information to the next cell
Controls the speed of electrical signal through the axon
What do Axon Terminals do?
Intakes information from other neurons
Produces fatty tissue for the Myelin Sheath
Sends information to the next cell
Controls the speed of electrical signal through the axon
As organisms get more complex, cells become specialized to perform specific functions in the body. What is the function for the cell shown?
contract and shorten movement
provide coverage and protection
carry impulses around the body
connects parts together

The function of sneezing is to expel mucus containing foreign particles from the nasal cavity. A person sneezes when foreign particles pass through the nasal hair which triggers the release of chemical that activates body system causing sneezing. What body part is activated?
circulatory system
digestive system
nervous system
excretory system
Which system is responsible for the overall control of all the internal processes that occur in the body?
muscular system
nervous system
digestive system
skeletal system
The urinary bladder is a muscular organ of the excretory system that collects urine excreted by the kidney. How does the nervous system help the urinary system in excretion?
it signals the urinary bladder to absorb more water from the urine.
It signals the urinary system to collect waste from the different parts of the body.
It signals the urinary bladder to hold and release urine at appropriate times.
It signals the urinary bladder to allow more urine to flow from the ureters.
The brain has 3 major sections that send and receive signals to control all the activities that keep a person functioning efficiently. Which major section controls breathing and heart beat?
cerebellum
cerebrum
brain stem
cortex
Which 2 body systems interact and initiate movement?
muscular and nervous system
skeletal and muscular system
respiratory and nervous system
circulatory and nervous system
The main function of the nervous system
send messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to and from the body
break down food to be used by the body
remove wastes from the body
all of these
