Choose the correct option:

Includes the nervous and ganglion is known as the...

Choose the correct option:

The main functions of the ___ are voluntary movements such as chewing food, walking, and facial expressions.

Choose the correct option:

regulates autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digesting – the unconscious bodily behaviors. 

Choose the correct option:

___is responsible for coordinating INVOLUNTARY behaviors such as heart rate, breathing, and digestion. This system allows these important functions to take place WITHOUT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT, SO THEY WORK AUTOMATICALLY.

Choose the correct option:

___is associated with activities traditionally thought of as CONSCIOUS OR VOLUNTARY.  Is key for carrying messages throughout the body, in order to initiate and control movement.

Choose the correct option:

This system processes sensory information from external stimuli (e.g. through hearing, sight, and touch) as well as MOTOR information, which then carries signals to and from the CNS. 

True or False:

The PNS connects the CNS to the rest of the body.
