What is the role of neurotransmitters in the nervous system?
To create myelin sheath
To insulate neuron cells
To transmit signals between neurons
To provide energy to neurons
The reflex arc is an example of which type of nervous system response?
Voluntary response
Involuntary response
Delayed response
Cognitive response
What is the main function of the peripheral nervous system?
To control voluntary movements
To process thoughts and emotions
To connect the central nervous system to limbs and organs
To regulate automatic bodily functions
How does the nervous system help maintain homeostasis in the body?
By regulating temperature
By controlling muscle contraction
By coordinating the response to stress
All of the above
What type of cells support and protect neurons within the nervous system?
Epithelial cells
Glial cells
Muscle cells
Red blood cells
Which part of the brain is primarily responsible for coordination and balance?
Cerebrum
Cerebellum
Medulla oblongata
Hypothalamus
What happens when a neuron is stimulated past a certain threshold?
It divides to form new neurons
It becomes inactive
It generates an electrical signal known as an action potential
It stops producing neurotransmitters
Which nervous system division is primarily involved in preparing the body for stress-related activities?
Central Nervous System
Somatic Nervous System
Autonomic Nervous System
Sympathetic Nervous System
What is the function of sensory neurons in the nervous system?
To transmit signals from the brain to muscles
To process information in the brain
To carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system
To protect the brain from damage
Which part of the nervous system controls the fight or flight response?
Central Nervous System
Peripheral Nervous System
Autonomic Nervous System
Somatic Nervous System
How do neurons communicate with each other at a synapse?
Through direct contact between cell bodies
By releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft
By electrical impulses traveling across the gap
Through the movement of ions only
