CERTIFICATION EXAM QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS
three major functions of the nervous system - ANSWERS1. sensory
2. integrative
3. motor
three types of neurons - ANSWERS1. interneurons= singles from one neuron to another
2. motor neurons= spinal cord or brain to other parts of the body
3. sensory neurons= body to spinal cord or brain
central nervous system - ANSWERSbrain and spinal cord
peripheral nervous sytem - ANSWERSall the nerves in the body
CNS: four major sections of the brain - ANSWERS1. cerebrum= largest part of the brain (80%),
left and right hemispheres
2. diencephalons= center part of the brain
3. cerebellum= rear part of the brain
4. brain stem= connects the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord
PNS - ANSWERS1. voluntary nervous system (somatic)= signals skeletal muscles to contract
voluntary movements
2.involuntary nervous system (autonomic)= relates the contraction of internal organs, heart
rate, digestion, and breathing
, skeletal system - ANSWERS-major function= to provide form and shape to the body
