True

b)

False

9.

The peripheral nervous system...

a)

Are the nerves that extend from the brain and the spinal cord to the rest of your body.

b)

Are the nerves that cause anxiety.

c)

Are the nerves that extend from the brain and spinal cord to your legs.

d)

Are responsible for burning calories and making ATP

10.

What do motor neurons do?

a)

Protect our body using antibodies and red blood cells.

b)

Are responsible for the fight or flight responses.

c)

Motor neurons go through the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body to move the body. The signal travels from the central nervous system to the peripheral nervous system (CNS → PNS).

d)

Motor neurons operate with gasoline, air and spark plugs.

11.

What do sensory neurons do?

a)

The sensory neurons are the signals that get sent to the brain from the senses. The signal travels from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system (PNS → CNS). 

b)

They are responsible for helping us make good decisions.

c)

They are responsible for helping our body digest food and ATP.

d)

They help us see in the darkess.

12.
