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 systemExplanation
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.Rate this question:

The ‘knee jerk’ reflex is voluntary and serves to stop us collapsing at the knee.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
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.Rate this question:
