Davian, Cade, and James are studying for their biology exam. They are discussing the central nervous system. They agree that two main components are found in the central nervous system. What are these two components?

• brain/spinal cord

• spinal cord/motor neurons

• motor/sensory neurons

• only brain

Silvana and Jalia are studying for their biology exam. They are discussing the two major branches of the nervous system. Nia, who is also studying with them, suggests that they are...

• central and peripheral

• peripheral and motor

• motor and sensory

Tremel, Isaiah, and Kyree are studying biology. They are discussing the function of the nervous system. Kyree thinks it's to provide nutrients for the body, Isaiah thinks it's to send and receive messages, Tremel thinks it's to circulate oxygen to cells, and their teacher thinks it's to remove carbon dioxide from blood. Who is correct?

• Daniel - provide nutrients for the body

• Grace - send and receive messages

• Abigail - circulate oxygen to cells

• Teacher - remove carbon dioxide from blood

EH Ler, Zy'Air, and Jayden are studying for a biology test. They are discussing the three (3) main parts of the nervous system. Can you help them identify these parts?

• cerebellum, cerebrum, medulla

• cochlea, nerves, vestibule

Asha, Jeremyah, and Emsley are studying the human nervous system. They are trying to identify which part is NOT part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Can you help them choose from the following options?
