Nervous system test

Which of the following is NOT a function of the nervous system?

• detect stimuli

• respond to stimuli

• communicate with stimuli

• interpret stimuli

Your brain and spinal cord make up the

• central nervous system

• peripheral nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

• parasympathetic nervous system

Receives and interprets stimuli, then dispatches impulses to glands and muscles for appropriate actions

• central nervous system

• peripheral nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

• parasympathetic nervous system

 Lies outside the brain and spinal cord and allows them to communicate with the rest of the body

• central nervous system

• peripheral nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

• parasympathetic nervous system

Carries impulses to stimulate the activity of body organs: fight or flight, prepare body for strenuous physical activity

• central nervous system

• peripheral nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

• parasympathetic nervous system

 Activity of this nerve opposes that of the sympathetic nerve and reduces the stimulation on the body organ; “rest and digest” functions

• central nervous system

• peripheral nervous system

• sympathetic nervous system

• parasympathetic nervous system
