1
New cards

Which structural parts of a neuron are responsible for receiving incoming chemical signals and transmitting electrical impulses away from the cell body, respectively?

2
New cards

What is the correct sequential pathway of a neural impulse from initial detection to final transmission?

3
New cards

What is the specalized microscopic junction where chemical signals bridge the physical gap between two adjacent neurons?

4
New cards

What is so effective about a reflex arc compared to the normal pathway process that the nervous system takes?

5
New cards

What is the sole difference between the Central Nervous System(CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System(PNS)?

6
New cards

When you touch a hot stove, what is the chronological order of the neurons in a reflex arc?

7
New cards

Why must an electrical signal turn into a chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) when crossing the syanpse?

8
New cards

Why does your body undergo vasoconstriction, even though it is in risk of frostbite?

9
New cards

Why does your body undergo vasodilation when your core temperature rises too high?

10
New cards

The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is divided into different branches. Which branch is responsible for voluntary movements (kicking a ball) and involuntary movements (breathing)?

11
New cards

If you suddenly see a dangerous bear while hiking, which part of the nervous system activates your “fight-or-flight” response, and which branch calms you down later.

12
New cards

Why is a negative feedback loop better than a positive feedback loop in terms of dealing with the body’s daily problems and issues?

13
New cards

What is the difference between vasoconstriction and shivering?

14
New cards

What is the difference between vasodilation and sweating?
