Fill in the Blanks: The ____________ are the Dendrites; axon
receiving end of a neuron, while the
_________conducts nerve impulses away
from the cell body.
Match the following neurotransmitters with Dopamine: Regulates emotional responses and muscles
tone. the correct description.
Norepinephrine: Produced by the adrenal glands.
Acetylcholine: Found at the neuromuscular junctions.
True or False: If false, explain why the This statement is false. The central nervous system consists of
statement is false. The peripheral nervous the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system
system consists of the brain and spinal cord. includes all nerves that are not located in the brain or
spinal
cord.
, Match the following lobes of the brain with Temporal: Contains sensory areas for hearing and smelling.
the correct function.
Frontal: Controls higher level executive functions.
Parietal: Receives sensory information from body receptors.
Occipital: Interprets visual input.
Which of the following structures of the Dorsal root ganglion
spinal cord contains the cell bodies of
afferent neurons?
Describe the function of the sympathetic The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is often referred to as
nervous system when a threat is present. the "fight or flight" system. When in immediate danger,
muscles require a steady, increased supply of glucose and
oxygen for muscular contraction. The SNS accelerates the
heartbeat, dilates the bronchi, and increases the respiratory
rate. This supplies the increased need for oxygen throughout
the body. The SNS also causes the liver to deliver more
glucose for the body's increased metabolic needs.
Sympathetic activation inhibits the digestive tract
because digestion is not an immediate necessity when in
danger or under attack.
