LESSON 8: 20 QUESTIONS REVIEWER

Peripheral nervous system

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the central nervous system?

Brain

Which organ serves as the primary control center for the nervous system?

Frontal lobe

Located at the front of the brain, responsible for higher-level executive functions, decision making, planning, judgment, and personality.

Occipital Lobe

What is the back of the head located in the brain that is responsible for processing visual information on the eyes?

Central Nervous system

It is called the “Big boss” as it is the crucial component of the human body's nervous system, responsible for coordinating and controlling most of the body's activities. It consists of the brain and spinal cord, which are interconnected and work together to process information, initiate responses, and regulate bodily functions.

Thalamus

It serves as a relay station for sensory information, relaying signals to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex.

Parietal Lobe

Found at the top of the brain, responsible for processing sensory information including ,touch , temperature,and pain.

Central nervous system

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for integrating sensory information and coordinating voluntary movements?

Transmission of nerve impulses between the brain and body

What is the function of the spinal cord in the nervous system?

Controls voluntary muscle movements

What is the main function of the nervous system?

Myelin

What is the fatty substance that surrounds and insulates axons, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses?

Dura Mater

The outermost layer, tough and fibrous, provides protection to the spinal cord. Consist of dense, collagenous connective tissues

Brainstem

Connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord, consisting of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata, it regulates basic functions such as heartbeat and breathing.

Heart

Which of the following is NOT a component of the nervous system?

Hypothalamus

Which part of the brain is primarily responsible for regulating vital functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure?

Serotonin

 Which neurotransmitter is primarily associated with the regulation of mood, emotion, and sleep?

Cerebellum

Which part of the brain is primarily responsible for integrating sensory information, coordinating muscle movements, and maintaining posture and balance?XC

Hippocampus

Which part of the brain plays a crucial role in the formation of new memories and is involved in learning and emotional responses?

Both B and C

Neurons come in which different type?

  

A. Neurons

B. Sensory 

C. Motor 

D. Both B and C

Brain Dysfunction

Refers to any condition or impairment that affects the normal functioning of the brain.
