cerebellum
brain stem or medulla
Cerebrum
What part of your brain controls involuntary muscle movements?
olfactory
Cerebrum
Brain Stem
cerebellum
Why is your spinal cord important?
Because it holds our spine together
Because all communication needs to travel through the spinal cord, towards and away from the brain.
Because it controls our senses
It's not
The part of the neuron that receives stimulus is the (a)
Which of the following is not the basic function of the nervous system?
detects and senses stimuli
responds to sensory stimulation
sends signal rapidly between body parts
produces fluids such as plasma and intestinal fluid
What is the function of the nervous system?
to control and coordinate body functions and systems.
to protect the body from harm.
to identify pain and begin healing.
to break down food.

spinal cord
central nervous system
peripheral nervous system
All of the above
The Central Nervous System is made up of
the cerebellum and cerebrum
the brain and spinal cord
the brainstem and spinal cord
cerebrum and spinal cord
How does the body prevent damage to the fragile brain and spinal cord?
the brain is kept floating in the skull so it can absorb impacts
the brain and spinal cord are enclosed in bone (skull and spinal column) to protect it
the spinal cord is kept safe by being hidden behind other body organs and muscles
The brain isn't as protected as the spinal cord
PNS stands for
Parallel Nervous System
Peripheral Nervous System
Physical Nervous System
Pressure Nervous System
The Peripheral Nervous System is made up of
the brain and spinal cord
all of the neurons in the body
the neurons outside of the brain and spinal cord
the neurons in your arms and legs
What does the somatic system do? (the somatic system is part of the Peripheral Nervous System)
It speeds up functions of the body ready for fight or flight
it slows down functions of the body ready for rest and digest
It consists of all the neurons outside of the Central Nervous System
It is used for actions that you control (reaching out and grabbing something) and sensing stimuli
Select three actions that are carried out by the Parasympathetic System
slows the heartbeat down
increases blood flow to the digestive tract to help digest food
dilates the pupils to improve distance vision
speeds the heartbeat up
contracts the pupils to improve close vision

cerebral cortex
An impulse is travelling along an axon. It reaches a synapse, what happens next?
The impulse jumps the gap to the dendrite of the next neuron and continues on its way
Neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, which bind to the next neuron, generating an impulse in that neuron
Dopamine is released into the synapse, which binds to the next neuron, generating an impulse in that neuron
The impulse waits while the next neuron prepares itself to receive the signal
