d)

Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System

16.

The somatic nervous system is:

a)

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.

b)

Responsible for INVOLUNTARY muscle stimulation which includes the stimulation of our organs such as heart, digestive tract and glands.

c)

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.

d)

Responsible for VOLUNTARY muscle stimulation which includes the stimulation of our organs such as heart, digestive tract and glands.

17.

The autonomic nervous system is:

a)

Responsible for INVOLUNTARY muscle stimulation which includes the stimulation of our organs such as heart, digestive tract and glands.

b)

Responsible for VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT and relays information from the environment to the CNS so the brain is able to make decisions about behaviour.

c)

Responsible for VOLUNTARY muscle stimulation which includes the stimulation of our organs such as heart, digestive tract and glands.

d)

Responsible for INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENT and relays information from the environment to the CNS so the brain is able to make decisions about behaviour.

18.

The parasympathetic nervous system:

a)

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.

b)

Calms us back down and reverts the body back to normal functioning or homeostasis

c)

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

d)

Calms us back down after it initiates the fight, flight or freeze response.

19.
