| WCU (Updated 2026–2027 Edition)
Fully Verified Questions & Answers |
Guaranteed Grade A
Central nervous system (CNS)
-Consists of the brain and the spinal cord
-Responsible for control of cognitive function &: Both voluntary & involuntary actions
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes:
-Cranial nerves & spinal nerves
•They work together to receive an impulse, interpret it, & initiate a response, enabling the
individual to maintain high level of adaptation & homeostasis
The factors that influence neurological health are:
-Diet
-Alcohol intake
-Smoking & other health practices
The cerebral cortex enables the individual to...
-perceive
-remember
-communicate
-initiate voluntary movements
Frontal lobe
-Controls voluntary skeletal movement
-speech
-emotions
-intellectual activities
Parietal lobe
Responsible for conscious awareness of sensation & somatosensory stimuli:
Temp., pain, shapes, two-point discrimination and stereognosis testing).
Occipital lobe
-Visual cortex- Receives stimuli from the retina & interprets the visual stimuli in relation to past
, experiences
Temporal lobe
Interprets auditory stimuli
Cerebral Cortex
-Composed of gray matter
-Responsible for all conscious behavior
-Enables the individual to perceive, remember, communicate & initiate voluntary movement
Cerebellum
Coordinates stimuli from the cerebrum and behind the brain stem
Brain stem consists of
midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata
brain stem function
1. control heartbeat
2.breathing
3.blood preasure
Reflexes are
fast, predictable, unlearned, innate, and involuntary reactions to stimuli
The vagus nerve is the only CN to....
serve a muscle & body region below the neck
Cranial nerves produce...
Sensory, motor & mixed nerves
Cranial Nerve I
Olfactory (sensory)- smell
Cranial Nerve II
Optic (sensory)- vision
Cranial Nerve III
Oculomotor (motor)- pupillary reflex, muscle movement
Cranial Nerve IV
Trochlear (motor)- eye muscle movement
