TEAS 7 EXAM 2025/2026 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - ANS Consists of the extensive network of spinal nerves
carrying sensory or afferent information towards the spinal cord and brain and motor or
efferent information away from the brain and spinal cord.
afferent fibers - ANS transmit impulses from organs to CNS
efferent fibers - ANS transmit impulses to organs from CNS
somatic nervous system - ANS voluntary control of skeletal muscles
ex: chewing food
autonomic (visceral) nervous system - ANS involuntarily controls the visceral muscles of
organ systems like the digestive and cardiovascular systems. Controls the contraction and
relaxation of visceral reflexes.
ex: digestion, heartbeat
sensory neurons - ANS gathers information and carries it to the CNS. The senses gather the
information that the sensory nervous system transmits
motor nerves - ANS carry impulses away from the CNS to the effectors

,ventricles (brain) - ANS canals in the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluid
cerebrospinal fluid - ANS Fluid in the space between the meninges that acts as a shock
absorber that protects the central nervous system.
cerebellum - ANS part of brain found at the very bottom (near neck) of the skull and
coordinates body movements, posture, and balance
brainstem - ANS found between the thalamus and the spinal cord. Lowest part of the brain.
Supports unconscious functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
cerebrum - ANS Largest part of the brain; responsible for interpreting touch, speech,
reasoning, and emotions
cerebral cortex - ANS grey matter that surrounds the entire cerebrum
gyri - ANS ridges
sulci - ANS shallow grooves
fissures - ANS deep grooves in the brain
frontal lobe - ANS processes high level cognitive skills, reasoning, concentration, motor skills,
language.
parietal lobe - ANS integration site for visual perception and sensory information such as
touch, pain, and pressure
temporal lobe - ANS Part of brain that controls hearing

, occipital lobe - ANS interprets visual information
limbic system - ANS controls emotions and memory
Hypothalamus - ANS plays role in regulating the autonomic nervous system. Primarily
concerned with homeostasis and regulates activities such as hunger, anger and pain
amygdala - ANS this produces feelings such as anger, violence, fear, anxiety
thalumus - ANS sensory inputs come throught. Smell
hippocampus - ANS helps convert short term memory to long term memory
Largest part of a typical neuron; contains the nucleus and much of the cytoplasm -
ANS neuron cell body is
axon - ANS the extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through which
messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands
myelin sheath - ANS insulates the axon of some neurons and helps speed up neural impulses
epithelial tissue - ANS A body tissue that covers the body surfaces, lines body cavities, and
serves as a protective barrier
connective tissue - ANS Connects other tissues to each other and serves to bind and support
body parts
Muscle tissue - ANS Moves the body and its contents by contraction
