NEURONS

This is an organ located within the skull that functions as an organizer and distributor of information for the body.

• Brain

• Spinal cord

• Sensory Neurons

• Motor Neurons

When you exercise, the nerves in your muscles signal your Respiratory system to breathe in more rapidly. Why?

• Because your body tells you to do so.

• Because your body needs more oxygen.

• Because you are tired.

• Because it is necessary.

• Brain And Spinal cord

• Somatic and autonomic

• Central and peripheral

• Sympathetic and parasympathetic

instructions from the spinal cord to the muscles in the human leg are transmitted through structures known as:

• Sensory Neurons

• Interneurons

• Motor Neurons

• Connective Neurons

What is the role of the sensory nerves in the body?

• the transmission of messages straight to motor neurons

• the conduction of information from the spinal cord

• the interpretation of messages from motor neurons

• the detection of information outside the body

• Sensory nerve – motor nerve – central nervous system

The peripheral nervous system consists of the _______________.

• Neurons located in the brain and the spinal cord.

• Interneurons of the central nervous system.

• Portions of the brain known as the medulla and cerebellum

• Nerves that extend from the brain and the spinal cord
