Understanding the Nervous System

What is the primary role of the brain in the nervous system?

• To circulate blood

• To filter waste

• To control body functions

• To digest food

Which system is made up of the brain and spinal cord?

• Central nervous system

• Somatic nervous system

• Peripheral nervous system

• Autonomic nervous system

What type of neuron is responsible for carrying messages from the central nervous system to muscles?

• Glial cells

• Interneurons

• Motor neurons

• Sensory neurons

What is the function of the myelin sheath?

• To store neurotransmitters

• To slow down signal transmission

• To insulate the axon and speed up signal transmission

• To produce electrical signals

Which lobe of the brain is primarily responsible for logical reasoning and voluntary movement?

• Parietal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Frontal lobe

What is the main function of the parietal lobe?

• Processing sensory information and spatial awareness

• Regulating emotions

• Processing visual information

• Controlling heart rate

Which part of the brain is crucial for balance and coordination?

• Cerebellum

• Frontal lobe

• Cerebrum

• Brain stem

What role does the temporal lobe play in the brain?

• It controls voluntary movements

• It is involved in memory, language, and emotion

• It processes touch and spatial awareness

• It regulates involuntary actions

Which part of the brain is responsible for processing visual signals?

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Frontal lobe

What is the purpose of the 'crack the code' experiment mentioned in the video?

• To test the occipital lobe

• To challenge the frontal lobe

• To assess the temporal lobe

• To evaluate the parietal lobe
