  • 2. 

    The nervous system may be divided into two principal divisions: (Select two)

    • The central nervous system

    • The autonomic nervous system

    • The peripheral nervous system

    • The parasympathetic nervous system

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The central nervous system
    A. The peripheral nervous system
    Explanation
    The nervous system is divided into two principal divisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, which are responsible for processing and coordinating information. The PNS includes all the nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body, allowing for communication between the brain and the organs, muscles, and sensory receptors. Therefore, the correct answer is the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

    Lumbar and sacral plexuses give rise to the fermoral nerve, the obturator nerve, and the sciatic nerve.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The lumbar and sacral plexuses are nerve networks located in the lower back and pelvis. These plexuses give rise to several major nerves, including the femoral nerve, obturator nerve, and sciatic nerve. Therefore, the statement that the lumbar and sacral plexuses give rise to the femoral nerve, obturator nerve, and sciatic nerve is true.

    ______   ______are commonly recognised neurotransmitters.

    • Adrenalin and dopamine

    • Noradrenalin and dopamine

    • Noradrenalin and serotonin

    Correct Answer
    A. Noradrenalin and dopamine
    Explanation
    Noradrenalin and dopamine are commonly recognized neurotransmitters in the brain. Noradrenalin is involved in regulating attention, alertness, and stress response, while dopamine plays a role in motivation, reward, and movement. Both neurotransmitters are important for communication between nerve cells and are involved in various physiological and psychological processes.

    The ‘knee jerk’ reflex is voluntary and serves to stop us collapsing at the knee.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the knee-jerk reflex is actually an involuntary reflex. It is a rapid and automatic response to a stimulus, such as tapping the patellar tendon below the kneecap. This reflex involves the contraction of the quadriceps muscle, causing the leg to extend. It is not under conscious control and does not serve to stop us from collapsing at the knee.
