Understanding speech
Responsible for touch, feeling pressure and temperature.
Planning
Decision making
Frontal
Parietal
Occipital
Temporal
What is the function of the spinal cord?
controls breathing and heart rate
movement and balance
relays messages from the body to the brain
controls body temperature, digestion, and sleep
What is the function of the brainstem?
movement and balance
hearing
controls breathing and heart rate
involved in judgement, higher level thinking and planning
Match the function or description to the part of the brain.
Coordinates movement
Largest part of the brain
Responsible for balance
Controls heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure
Made up of the left and right hemisphere
Cerebrum
Brain stem
Cerebellum
What does the peripheral nervous system primarily control?
Only involuntary processes like digestion
Only sensory information transmission
Only voluntary muscle movements
Voluntary and involuntary muscle movements and bodily functions.
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)
What is a function of the autonomic nervous system?
Regulates involuntary bodily functions like heartbeat and digestion.
Processes sensory information
Controls voluntary movements
Transmits signals to skeletal muscles
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.
They are both part of the autonomic nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system controls "fight or flight" responses.
The sympathetic nervous system controls muscle movements.
What is the main function of dendrites in neurons?
Insulate the neuron for protection.
Transmit signals to other neurons.
Receive signals from other neurons.
Release neurotransmitters into synapse.
What role does the axon play in neurons?
Store neurotransmitters for release.
Conduct impulses away from the cell body.
Control cell metabolism and energy.
Receive signals from other neurons.
What is neurotransmission?
The metabolic process in neurons.
The growth of new neurons.
The process of sending signals between neurons.
The insulation of the axon.
Which part of the neuron releases neurotransmitters?
Cell body of the neuron.
Dendrites of the neuron.
Soma of the neuron.
Axon terminals at the synapse.
