  • Q2
    What are the three main types of neurons?
    Sensory, receptor, and effector neurons
    Sensory, motor, and interneurons
    Sensory, muscular, and skeletal neurons
    Epithelial, connective, and muscle neurons

  • Q3
    Describe the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems in the autonomic nervous system.
    Parasympathetic prepares the body for exercise; sympathetic helps in rest
    Both systems promote stress response
    Sympathetic helps in digestion; parasympathetic controls fight or flight
    Sympathetic prepares the body for stress; parasympathetic promotes relaxation.

  • Q4
    What does autonomic mean?
    Only related to movement
    Functions only in emergencies or times of high stress
    Involuntary and automatic functions of the body
    Under conscious control
    30s
  • Q5
    What are neurotransmitters?
    Proteins that build muscle tissue
    Chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons
    Cells that protect the brain
    Electrical currents that flow through nerves to the central nervous system
    30s
  • Q6
    How can an injury at the C1 level of the spinal cord affect a person's body functions compared to an injury at the L1 level?
    C1 injuries affect only the legs; L1 injuries affect the whole body
    Both injuries have the same level of impact on body functions
    C1 injuries can lead to paralysis in the arms and legs
    C1 injuries have no significant effect on body movement
    30s
  • Q7
    What are the primary functions of the nervous system?
    To produce hormones for growth
    To receive, interpret, and respond to stimuli
    To circulate blood throughout the body
    To digest food and absorb nutrients
    30s
  • Q8
    What are the four regions of the spinal cord?
    Cervical, thoracic, cranial, and sacral
    Cervical, dorsal, lumbar, and thoracic
    Lumbar, thoracic, pelvic, and sacral
    Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral
    30s
  • Q9
    What are the three parts of the neuron?
    Dendrites, myelin, and synapse
    Cell body, synapse, and blood vessel
    Dendrites, cell body, and axon
    Axon, synapse, and muscle fiber
    30s
  • Q10
    What is the role of sensory neurons?
    To transmit signals from the brain to muscles, such as movement
    To support the structure of nerves using a protective layer
    To connect different neurons within the brain
    To carry information from senses to the CNS
    30s
  • Q11
    What is the role of motor neurons in the nervous system?
    To carry signals from sensory organs to the brain through the spinal cord
    To protect the spinal cord from damage
    To transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles
    To connect different parts of the brain and allow for better communication
    30s
  • Q12
    What is the primary function of the sympathetic nervous system?
    To slow down heart rate and promote digestion
    To help with sleep and relaxation
    To prepare the body for 'fight or flight' responses
    To enhance memory and learning
    30s
  • Q13
    How does the parasympathetic nervous system help the body after a stressful situation?
    By preparing the body for immediate action
    By shutting down all bodily functions
    By increasing heart rate, breathing and blood pressure
    By promoting relaxation and reducing heart rate
    30s
  • Q14
    Which part of the brain is primarily responsible for processing visual information?
    Occipital Lobe
    Frontal Lobe
    Cerebellum
    Pons
    30s
  • Q15
    Which lobe of the brain is involved in processing sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain?
    Medulla
