The (autonomic/somatic) nervous system controls smooth muscle movements that move food through the digestive tract.

Autonomic

The (parasympathetic/sympathetic) nervous system controls the fight or flight response.

Sympathetic

(Axons/dendrites/neuroglia) carry information away from the cell body of a neuron

Axons

Sensory information is sent from the CNS (afferently/efferently/glandularly)

Efferently

A nerve is composed of (axons/dendrites/entire neurons) wrapped in (connective tissue/muscle/myelin).

axons, connective tissue

Touch is a (general/special) sense

general

(Mechanoreceptors/nociceptors/proprioceptors) perceive body position in space.

Proprioceptors

Once a stimulus threshold is met, a(n) (action potential/cramp/synapse/twitch) occurs, and travels the length of the axon.

Action potential

(Acetylcholine/dopamine/norepinephrine) is most directly involved in regulating mood.

Dopamine

Movement of information between a neuron and cell involves (movement of ions across the cell membrane/release of neurotransmitters)

release of neurotransmitters

The endocrine system is composed of endocrine (glands/neurons/nodes), which secrete (hormones/lymph/neurotransmitters) to communicate with other cells.

Glands, hormones

(True/false): All cells have receptors for all hormones.

False

The portion of the brain that controls the endocrine system, is the (adrenal/hypothalamus/pancreas/pineal).

Hypothalamus

The endocrine organ that regulates blood glucose level is the (adrenal/pancreas/pituitary/thyroid).

Pancreas

The endocrine organ that regulates metabolism is the (adrenal/pancreas/pituitary/thyroid).

Thyroid

The endocrine organ that initiates the fight or flight response is the (adrenal/pancreas/pituitary/thyroid).

Adrenal

Diabetes results when someone is unable to make or use (glucagon/insulin/TSH/T3).

Insulin

Individuals with diabetes are unable to properly regulate their blood (glucose/glycogen/lipid/protein levels).

Glucose

(Estrogen/progesterone/both estrogen & progesterone) is/are involved in regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Both estrogen & progesterone

Too (little/much) T4 can cause an individual to lose weight and feel warm.

Much
