    • Greater occipital nerve, smaller occipital nerve, greater auricular nerve, cervical cutaneous nerve

    • Digital nerve, radial nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Digital nerve, radial nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve
    Explanation
    Digital nerve: (Sensory-motor), with its branches, supplies the fingers.
    Radial nerve: (Sensory-motor), with its branches, supplies the thumb side of the arm and back of the hand.
    Median nerve: (Sensory-motor), smaller nerve than the ulnar and radial nerves that, with its branches, supplies the arm and hand.
    Ulnar nerve: (Sensory-motor), with its branches, affects the little finger side of the arm and palm of the hand.

  • 3. 

    Carry impulses from the brain to the muscles. The transmitted impulses produce movement.

    • Sensory nerves

    • Mixed nerves

    • Motor nerves

    Correct Answer
    A. Motor nerves
    Explanation
    Motor nerves are responsible for carrying impulses from the brain to the muscles, which in turn produce movement. Unlike sensory nerves, which carry impulses from the sensory organs to the brain, motor nerves specifically transmit signals that initiate muscle contractions and control voluntary movements. Mixed nerves, on the other hand, contain both sensory and motor fibers and are responsible for transmitting both types of impulses.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The largest and most complex nerve tissue in the body. The _____ is contained in the cranium and weighs an average of 44 to 48 ounces. It controls sensation, muscles, glandular activity, and the power to think and feel. It sends and receives telegraphic messages through 12 pairs of cranial nerves that originate in the _____ and reach various parts of the head, face, and neck.

    Correct Answer
    Brain
    Explanation
    The given passage describes the largest and most complex nerve tissue in the body, which is contained in the cranium and weighs an average of 44 to 48 ounces. It controls sensation, muscles, glandular activity, and the power to think and feel. It also sends and receives telegraphic messages through 12 pairs of cranial nerves that originate in the brain and reach various parts of the head, face, and neck. Therefore, the correct answer is "Brain".

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The science of the structure, function, and pathology of the nervous system.

    • Osteology

    • Histology

    • Trichology

    • Neurology

    • Myology

    Correct Answer
    A. Neurology
    Explanation
    Neurology is the correct answer because it is the branch of science that deals with the structure, function, and diseases of the nervous system. It focuses on studying the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, as well as their role in controlling and coordinating bodily functions. Osteology is the study of bones, histology is the study of tissues, trichology is the study of hair, and myology is the study of muscles, none of which relate to the nervous system.

    Explanation
    Reflexes do not have to be learned.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The principal components of the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves themselves. The nervous system as a whole is divided into three main subdivisions.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the principal components of the nervous system are indeed the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves themselves. These three components work together to transmit and process information throughout the body, allowing for communication and control of bodily functions. Therefore, it is true that the nervous system as a whole is divided into these three main subdivisions.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    (Two words) The portion of the central nervous system that originates in the brain, extends down to the lower extremity of the trunk, and is protected by the spinal column. Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves extending from the spinal cord are distributed to the muscles and skin of the trunk and limbs.

    Correct Answer
    Spinal cord
    Explanation
    The given passage describes a part of the central nervous system that starts in the brain, extends down to the lower trunk, and is safeguarded by the spinal column. It also mentions that there are thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves that come from the spinal cord and are distributed to the muscles and skin of the trunk and limbs. The correct answer to this question is "Spinal cord" because it perfectly matches the description provided in the passage.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    A. Fifth cranial nerve
    Explanation
    It consists of three branches: opthalmic, mandibular, and maxillary.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Consists of the brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves, and cranial nerves. It controls consciousness and all mental activities, voluntary functions of the five senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting), and voluntary muscle actions including all body movements and facial expressions.

    • Peripheral nervous system

    • Central nervous system

    • Autonomic nervous system

    Correct Answer
    A. Central nervous system
    Explanation
    The central nervous system is also known as the cerebrospinal system.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The part of the nervous system that controls the involuntary muscles; it regulates the action of the smooth muscles, glands, blood vessels, and heart.

    • Autonomic nervous system

    • Central nervous system

    • Peripheral nervous system

    Correct Answer
    A. Autonomic nervous system
    Explanation
    The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling the involuntary muscles and regulating the actions of smooth muscles, glands, blood vessels, and the heart. This system operates automatically and without conscious control, allowing the body to perform essential functions such as digestion, breathing, and circulation. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system includes the nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body. However, only the autonomic nervous system specifically controls the involuntary muscles and regulates the mentioned bodily functions.

    • Nervous system

    • Circulatory system

    • Endocrine system

    • Excretory system

    • Integumentary system

    Correct Answer
    A. Nervous system
    Explanation
    Every square inch of the human body is supplied with fine fibers known as nerves; there are over 100 billion nerve cells, known as neurons in the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    ______ nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers and have the ability to send and receive messages.

    Correct Answer
    Mixed
    Explanation
    Mixed nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers, allowing them to transmit signals from the body to the brain and vice versa. This means that they can both receive sensory information, such as touch or pain, and send motor commands, such as muscle movement. Mixed nerves are essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system as they enable communication between different parts of the body and the brain.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    A system of nerves that connect the peripheral (outer) parts of the body to the central nervous system; it has both sensory and motor nerves. Its function is to carry impulses or messages to and from the central nervous system.

    • Peripheral nervous system

    • Central nervous system

    • Autonomic nervous system

    Correct Answer
    A. Peripheral nervous system
    Explanation
    The peripheral nervous system is a system of nerves that connect the peripheral parts of the body to the central nervous system. It includes both sensory and motor nerves and its main function is to carry impulses or messages to and from the central nervous system. Therefore, the peripheral nervous system is the correct answer.
