What are the three parts of the nervous system?
brain, spinal cord, neurons
brain, lungs, spinal cord
heart, brain, nerves
brain, nerves, neurons
What is the function of the nervous system?
sensory inputs, process information, motor output
to protect the body from harm.
Sensory input and motor output
Make decisions and process information
Identify the stimulus
Thirsty
drinking water
blinking
eating
Identify the response
hunger
thirst
drinking water
smelling
Anything that occurs automatically and without thought.
Voluntary Processes
Involuntary Processes
Anything that occurs as a result of the organism thinking about it.
Voluntary Processes
Involuntary Processes
Which brain structure controls all involuntary processes such as breathing, heartbeat, peristalsis
Cerebellum
Cerebrum
Medulla
Which brain structure is responsible for balance and is involved with movement?
Cerebellum
Cerebrum
Medulla
Neuron
a nerve cell with a unique structure for receiving and passing on information
a signal that causes an animal to react in some way
found in the brain and spinal cord and allow sensory and motor neurons to communicate
Sensory Neurons
the animal’s reaction to the stimulus
nerve cells that detect stimuli
nerve cells that carry response information to muscles and other organs
Interneurons/Relay neurons
nerve cells that detect stimuli
a signal that causes an animal to react in some way
nerve cells that carry response information to muscles and other organs
found in the brain and spinal cord and allow sensory and motor neurons to communicate
Motor neurons
the animal’s reaction to the stimulus
found in the brain and spinal cord and allow sensory and motor neurons to communicate
nerve cells that detect stimuli
nerve cells that carry response information to muscles and other organs
What will happen if all the sensory nerves stop working in any human's body?
Messages will not reach to the brain or spinal cord.
Brain is not able to process the received information.
Nothing will happen as motor nerves will perform the functions.
What does the axon carry?
Impulses away from the cell body
Impulses to the cell body
chemicals
messages
What is the largest part of the brain?
Brain stem
Cerebellum
Cerebrum
Dura mater
What does the brain stem do?
provides the pathway for ascending and descending tracts
pathway for only descending tracts
provides structure
pathway only for ascending tracts
The medulla oblongata controls
vision and speech
hearing
heart rate and blood pressure
respiration
Stimulus --> ? --> brain --> effector --> response
Complete the impulse pathway
Nerve
Impulse
Affector
Voluntary
