What are the main parts of the nervous system?
-
The main parts of the nervous system are the hands, feet, and tongue.
-
The main parts of the nervous system are arteries, veins, and capillaries.
-
The main parts of the nervous system are nose, toes, and tongue.
-
The main parts of the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Correct Answer
A. The main parts of the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.Explanation
The correct answer is the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The brain is the control center of the nervous system, responsible for processing and interpreting information from the senses, coordinating movement, and controlling bodily functions. The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerves that runs down the back and connects the brain to the rest of the body. It helps transmit signals between the brain and the body. Nerves are bundles of fibers that transmit electrical signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, allowing for communication and coordination.Rate this question:

Why is your tongue more sensitive than your elbow?
-
Your tongue is more sensitive than your elbow because it's wetter.
-
Your tongue is more sensitive than your elbow because it has more nerve receptors.
-
Your tongue is more sensitive than your elbow because it has more skin cells.
-
Your tongue is more sensitive than your elbow because it has more germs.
Correct Answer
A. Your tongue is more sensitive than your elbow because it has more nerve receptors.Explanation
The tongue is more sensitive than the elbow because it has more nerve receptors. Nerve receptors are responsible for detecting and transmitting sensory information to the brain. The tongue has a higher concentration of these receptors compared to the elbow, allowing it to be more sensitive to touch, taste, and temperature. The elbow, on the other hand, has fewer nerve receptors, making it less sensitive to stimuli.Rate this question:

What does the autonomic nervous system control?
-
The autonomic nervous system controls voluntary actions, like moving.
-
The autonomic nervous system controls your body transmission of scents.
-
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary actions, like your heartbeat.
-
The autonomic nervous system controls sreaming.
Correct Answer
A. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary actions, like your heartbeat.Explanation
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary actions, such as the heartbeat. This means that it regulates processes in the body that are not under conscious control, such as digestion, breathing, and the beating of the heart. These actions are essential for the body to function properly and maintain homeostasis.Rate this question:

-
skin
-
Motor
-
Stimuli
Correct Answer
A. StimuliExplanation
The question is asking for the term that describes the changes that sensory receptors detect inside and outside the body. The correct answer is "stimuli" because stimuli refers to any changes or events that can evoke a response from the sensory receptors. This term encompasses a wide range of sensory experiences, including changes in temperature, pressure, light, sound, and more.Rate this question:

The CNS consists of the brain and nuerons.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, not just the brain and neurons. The spinal cord is a vital part of the CNS as it acts as a pathway for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Therefore, the statement that the CNS consists of only the brain and neurons is incorrect.Rate this question:

-
The actions that occur without your brains help is a voluntary action.
-
The actions that occur without your brains help is a stimulus.
-
The actions that occur without your brains help is a reflex.
Correct Answer
A. The actions that occur without your brains help is a reflex.Explanation
Reflex actions are automatic responses to stimuli that occur without conscious thought or involvement of the brain. These actions are controlled by the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, bypassing the brain. Examples of reflex actions include pulling your hand away from a hot surface without thinking, blinking when something comes close to your eye, or jerking your leg when a doctor taps your knee with a hammer.Rate this question:

-
The biggest part of the brain is the cerebellum.
Correct Answer
A. The biggest part of the brain is the cerebrum.Explanation
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thinking, memory, and perception. It is divided into two hemispheres and is composed of various lobes, including the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The cerebrum plays a crucial role in complex tasks such as problem-solving, decision-making, and language processing. It also houses the sensory and motor areas, allowing us to perceive and interact with the world around us.Rate this question:

-
The part of the brain that keeps you breathing is the brain stem.
-
The part of the brain that keeps you breathing is the pituritary glands.
-
The part of the brain that keeps you breathing is the cerebellum..
Correct Answer
A. The part of the brain that keeps you breathing is the brain stem.Explanation
The brain stem is responsible for controlling basic life functions, including breathing. It is located at the base of the brain and connects the brain to the spinal cord. The brain stem contains various structures that regulate breathing, such as the medulla oblongata and the pons. These structures monitor the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and send signals to the muscles involved in breathing to adjust the rate and depth of breaths accordingly. Without the brain stem, the body would not be able to regulate breathing on its own.Rate this question:
