BIO 201 EXAM 3 WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS 2025
Function of Nervous System correct answers >> sensory
input-info about ext. and int. changes, gathered by sensory
neurons (f(x) to detect ext. and int. stimuli)
integration-interpretation of sensory neurons (f(x) integrates,
analyzes, and stores info; decides on action to take)
motor output-activation of effector organs, which produces a
response (f(x) elicits proper responses)
brain and spinal cord
integrative and control centers correct answers >> CNS
cranial nerves and spinal nerves
communication lines b/t CNS and rest of body correct answers
>> PNS
somatic and visceral sensory nerve fibers
conducts impulses from receptors to CNS correct answers >>
sensory (afferent) division
,motor nerve fibers
conducts impulses from CNS to effectors(muscles and glands)
correct answers >> motor (efferent) division
voluntary (somatic motor)
conducts impulses from CNS to skeletal muscles correct
answers >> somatic NS
involuntary(visceral motor)
conducts impulses from CNS to cardiac muscles, smooth muscles,
and glands correct answers >> autonomic NS
mobilizes body systems during activity correct answers >>
sympathetic division
conserves energy
promotes house keeping functions during rest correct answers
>> parasympathetic division
functional cells that transmit electrical signals correct answers
>> neurons
supporting cells of nervous system correct answers >>
