    What does NOT describe the PNS..

    • Consists of nerves that carry impulses between the CNS and the receptors or effectors

    • Consists of the brain and spinal cord

    • Afferent and efferent fibers

    • Somatic and Autonomic divisions of the nervou system

    Correct Answer
    A. Consists of the brain and spinal cord
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Consists of the brain and spinal cord." The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is a part of the nervous system that consists of nerves that carry impulses between the central nervous system (CNS) and the receptors or effectors. It includes afferent and efferent fibers, which are responsible for carrying sensory information to the CNS and motor signals from the CNS to the muscles and glands. The PNS also includes the somatic and autonomic divisions of the nervous system, which control voluntary and involuntary bodily functions.

    What is microglia?

    • Found in CNS and function as phagocytes

    • Found in PNS and function as phagocytes

    Correct Answer
    A. Found in CNS and function as phagocytes
    Explanation
    Microglia are a type of immune cell that are found in the central nervous system (CNS). They function as phagocytes, which means they are responsible for engulfing and removing cellular debris, dead cells, and pathogens in the CNS. This helps to maintain a healthy and functioning nervous system. Microglia also play a role in immune responses and inflammation in the CNS. They are not found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

    What is NOT a function of the endocrine System?

    • Controls differentiation of reprodoctive system and CNS in devolping fetus

    • Controls physiological parameters of the body

    • Coordinates growth during childhood and adolensce

    • Coordinates male and female reproductive system

    • Helps maintain homeostasis and internal envrionment, initiates corrective adapative responses to emergencies

    Correct Answer
    A. Controls physiological parameters of the body
    Explanation
    The endocrine system is responsible for coordinating and regulating various physiological processes in the body, such as metabolism, growth, and development. It helps maintain homeostasis by releasing hormones into the bloodstream to initiate adaptive responses to emergencies and maintain the internal environment. Therefore, controlling physiological parameters of the body is indeed a function of the endocrine system.

    The Endocrine system has a _________ trasmission time but a __________ acting resonse

    Correct Answer
    slower, longer
    Explanation
    The endocrine system has a slower transmission time because it relies on hormones that are released into the bloodstream and travel throughout the body to reach their target organs or cells. This process takes time compared to the faster transmission of nerve impulses in the nervous system. However, once the hormones reach their target, they can have a longer-lasting and more sustained effect compared to the quick but temporary responses of the nervous system. Therefore, the endocrine system has a slower transmission time but a longer-acting response.

    The Endocrine System is similar to the nervous system in the fact that it is a system of ___________________________

    Correct Answer
    signals and responses
    Explanation
    The Endocrine System is similar to the nervous system in the fact that it is a system of signals and responses. Both systems play a crucial role in communication within the body. The nervous system uses electrical signals transmitted through neurons to rapidly send messages, while the endocrine system uses chemical signals called hormones to send slower, long-lasting messages. Both systems work together to regulate various bodily functions and maintain homeostasis.
