QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED AND 100%
ACCURATE ANSWERS
System in charge of rapid functions and activities? Correct Answers
nervous
System in charge of slower and long-acting changes? Correct Answers
endocrine
Contains the CNS, PNS, and enteric NS? Correct Answers nervous
system
Primary cell unit in the nervous system called nerve fibers are also
called? Correct Answers neurons
Job of the neuron is to? Correct Answers generate electrical impulses
and carry information
Supportive cells in the nervous system are called? Correct Answers
neuroglia
The effect of the neurons are carried out by? Correct Answers effector
organs
Three types of neurons we have are? Correct Answers sensory, motor,
associational
,Sensory nerves carry? Correct Answers afferent impulses or incoming
information, from the body back to the CNS, ascending or upgoing
tracts
Motor nerves carry? Correct Answers efferent impulses or outgoing
information, away from the CNS to the effector organs, descending or
outgoing tracts
Associational neurons transmit impulses from? Correct Answers neuron
to neuron sometimes called interneurons
Name the nervous system:
- connects CNS to our skeletal muscle
- usually refers to actions of organ effectors under our *voluntary*
control
- includes both afferent and efferent tracts
- Ex: all *skeletal muscle*: biceps, bladder sphincter, muscle Correct
Answers somatic nervous system
This system falls under the PNS and is responsible for our *voluntary
control* of things such as skeletal muscle? Correct Answers somatic
nervous system
,This system falls under the PNS and is responsible for things we do not
have to think about such as changes in HR, BP, or pupil dilation?
Correct Answers autonomic nervous system
Name the two different systems which fall under the autonomic nervous
system? Correct Answers sympathetic & parasympathetic
Sympathetic is responsible for? Hint: *Gas Pedal* Correct Answers
speeding up stuff
Parasympathetic is responsible for? *Brake Pedal* Correct Answers
slowing down stuff
Spinal nerves exit/enter the spinal cord via vertebral bones of spine,
through holes called? Correct Answers foramina
Spinal nerves are made up of? Correct Answers both motor and sensory
nerves
What are neurons in the gut wall called? Correct Answers enteric
nervous system
95% fo the body's ___________ is in the gut, regulating its smooth
muscle function. Correct Answers serotonin
, Primary cell unit (cell type) of the nervous system (NS)? Correct
Answers neuron or nerve fiber
Supportive cells for neurons? Correct Answers neuroglia or glial cells
Overlay nervous system structures? Correct Answers membranes
__________ are *muscles or glands* that actually get the work done in
the body. Correct Answers effectors
Neurons ONLY generate electrical impulses to? Correct Answers carry
information
The interaction of neurons with other cells (muscles, glands, other
neurons) is via? Correct Answers chemicals
Carry afferent impulses from the body to the CNS via ascending or
incoming information tracts? Correct Answers sensory nerves
Carry efferent impulses away from CNS to effector organs via
descending or outgoing tracts? Correct Answers motor nerves
Transmit impulses from neuron to neuron? Correct Answers
associational nerves
