What is the function of the spinal cord?

movement and balance

relays messages from the body to the brain

controls breathing and heart rate

controls body temperature, digestion, and sleep

SSPBF1.a

What is the function of the brainstem?

hearing

movement and balance

involved in judgement, higher level thinking and planning

controls breathing and heart rate

SSPBF1.a

What does the peripheral nervous system primarily control?

Only voluntary muscle movements

Only sensory information transmission

Voluntary and involuntary muscle movements and bodily functions.

Only involuntary processes like digestion

SSPBF1.a

Ɛhia

1

Which system sends signals to muscles from the brain?

Sympathetic nervous system

Autonomic nervous system (within the peripheral nervous system)

Central nervous system

Somatic nervous system (within the peripheral nervous system)

SSPBF1.a

What is a function of the autonomic nervous system?

Controls voluntary movements

Regulates involuntary bodily functions like heartbeat and digestion.

Processes sensory information

Transmits signals to skeletal muscles

SSPBF1.a

Ɛhia

3

Which are true about the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems? (select all that apply)

The parasympathetic nervous system calms bodily systems and maintains normal functioning

They are both part of the central nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system controls muscle movements.

They are both part of the autonomic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system controls "fight or flight" responses.

SSPBF1.a

What is the main function of dendrites in neurons?

Receive signals from other neurons.

Transmit signals to other neurons.

Release neurotransmitters into synapse.

Insulate the neuron for protection.

SSPBF1.c

Ɛhia

1

What role does the axon play in neurons?

Control cell metabolism and energy.

Conduct impulses away from the cell body.

Store neurotransmitters for release.

Receive signals from other neurons.

SSPBF1.c

Ɛhia

1

What is neurotransmission?

The growth of new neurons.

The process of sending signals between neurons.

The insulation of the axon.

The metabolic process in neurons.

SSPBF1.c

Ɛhia

1

Which part of the neuron releases neurotransmitters?

Soma of the neuron.

Axon terminals at the synapse.

Dendrites of the neuron.

Cell body of the neuron.

Which method uses magnetic fields to create brain images?

MRI scans brain structure with magnets.

PET scans identify metabolic activity with glucose.

CAT uses X-rays to capture brain injuries.

EEG measures electrical activity in brain.

SSPBF1.e

Ɛhia

1

Which technique is used for showing brain activity over time?

PET for metabolic processes

MRI for detailed anatomy

CAT scans for structural images

EEG

SSPBF1.e

Ɛhia

1

What can fMRI scans help researchers understand?

Patterns of human respiration during sleep.

Personality differences in individuals.

Social behavior patterns in animals.

Brain regions involved in specific cognitive tasks.

SSPBF1.e

Ɛhia

1

Before the development of neuroimaging, how did scientists study brain functions?

cadaver studies

lesion studies

case studies

all of these

SSPBF1.e

Ɛhia

1

In what way can genetics affect behavior?

Behavior is purely random, not genetic.

It increases likelihood of certain behaviors occurring.

Genetics guarantees specific behaviors will manifest.

Genetics always override environmental factors.

SSPBF1.f

Ɛhia

1

How do researchers study genetics and behavior correlation?

Evaluating behavior purely through personal interviews.

By comparing behaviors in genetically similar individuals.

Using surveys to gather opinions on behavior.

Only observing social interactions in children.

Match each type of brain scan with its description.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
fMRI		measures electrical activity in the brain over time
EEG		Uses X-ray technology to take pictures of cross sections of the brain
PET scan		uses magnetic fields to get a picture of the brain's anatomy
MRI		uses magnetic fields to get a picture of brain function by measuring blood flow and O2 levels
CAT (CT) scan		uses a radioactive "tracer" to measure activity in different parts of the brain
