• Peripheral and Somatic

• Central and Peripheral

• Autonomic and Somatic

Which division of the nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord?

• Peripheral Nervous System

• Central Nervous System

• Autonomic Nervous System

• Somatic Nervous System

The Autonomic Nervous System is divided into how many parts?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What are the two parts of the Autonomic Nervous System?

• Sympathetic and Parasympathetic

• Central and Peripheral

• Somatic and Visceral

• Afferent and Efferent

The Sympathetic Nervous System is responsible for:

• Calming the body and conserving energy

• Preparing the body for stressful or emergency situations

• Controlling voluntary muscle movements

• Connecting the Central Nervous System to the limbs and organs

Which type of neuron transmits signals from the Central Nervous System to the muscles and glands?

• Sensory Neurons

• Motor Neurons

• Interneurons

• Autonomic Neurons

Sensory neurons are responsible for:

• Transmitting signals to the Central Nervous System from sensory receptors.

• Connecting different parts of the Central Nervous System

• Controlling voluntary movements

• Regulating the heart rate

Which statement best describes the role of the autonomic nervous system?

• It controls voluntary muscle movements

• It processes information from the sensory organs

• It regulates involuntary functions of the body

• It connects the brain to the spinal cord

Which division of the nervous system is primarily involved in the "fight or flight" response?

• Central Nervous System

• Peripheral Nervous System

• Sympathetic Nervous System

• Parasympathetic Nervous System
