MOVEMENTS UPDATED QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
1. Central Nervous System (CNS)
Answer:
The division of the nervous system containing the brain and spinal cord.
Question:
2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Answer:
The division of the nervous system containing everything outside the CNS.
Question:
3. Somatic Nervous System
Answer:
Controls voluntary muscle movements, such as walking or running.
Question:
4. Autonomic Nervous System
Answer:
Controls involuntary muscle movements, such as digestion.
Question:
5. Dendrite
Answer:
The part of a neuron that receives signals from other neurons.
Question:
6. Synapse
Answer:
A specific area on a dendrite that receives information from another neuron.
Question:
7. Myelin Sheath
Answer:
Insulates axons and speeds up nerve impulse transmission.
Question:
8. Thermoreceptors
Answer:
Sensory receptors that are sensitive to changes in temperature.
, Question:
9. Sodium-Potassium Pump
Answer:
Active transport mechanism moving sodium out and potassium into the cell.
Question:
10. Depolarization
Answer:
Occurs when sodium enters the cell, increasing membrane potential toward 0 mV.
Question:
11. Repolarization
Answer:
Occurs when potassium leaves the cell, returning membrane voltage to resting state.
Question:
12. Acetylcholine (ACh)
Answer:
Neurotransmitter that enables communication across synapses to stimulate muscles or neurons.
Question:
13. Frontal Lobe
Answer:
Brain region associated with motor function, movement, and personality.
Question:
14. Parietal Lobe
Answer:
Brain region associated with somatosensation and processing tactile senses.
Question:
15. Occipital Lobe
Answer:
Brain region primarily responsible for processing vision.
Question:
16. Temporal Lobe
Answer:
Brain region associated with auditory sensation and establishing long-term memory.
Question:
17. Thalamus
Answer:
Relays motor commands and processes sensory information received from the body.
