Answer 3

Brain

Question 4

Question 12

Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into four lobes:

Answer 12

Frontal, Temporal, Occipital and Parietal

Question 13

is at work when you talk, move, reason out, and problem solving.

Answer 13

Frontal lobe

Question 14

the center for vision

Answer 14

Occipital lobe

Question 15

distinguishes for sensations such as touch, pain, pressure and temperature

Answer 15

Parietal lobe

Question 16

allows you to hear, sequencing and organization and memory.

Answer 16

Temporal lobe

Question 17

is the second largest part of the brain and is located behind the brain stem. It coordinates movements & controls balance.

Answer 17

cerebellum

Question 18

communicates the brain with the spinal cord. It coordinates many survival functions of the body such as breathing, heart rate, sleep and wakefulness.

Answer 18

brain stem

Question 19

is connected to the spinal cord, regulates breathing and heartbeat.

Answer 19

Medulla Oblongata

Question 20

a small structure that connects the cerebrum and medulla oblongata.

Answer 20

pons

Question 21

is the control center of the homeostasis of the internal environment. Regulates body temperature and manages emotions and sensations like thirst and hunger.

Answer 21

Hypothalamus

Question 22

serves as messenger since integrates the sensory and motor impulses.

Answer 22

Thalamus

Question 23

is a long bundle of nerves and cells that extends from the lower portion of the brain to the lower back.

Answer 23

spinal cord

Question 24

is an automatic response to a stimulus that does not need thought or thinking, like when you pull away your hand when you touched a hot surface.

Answer 24

Reflex

Question 25

is anything in the internal or external environment that triggers a response to any part of the body.

Answer 25

stimulus

Question 26

gives the command to the heart to pump faster to supply more blood and oxygen to the body that will prompt the body in avoiding the truck.

Answer 26

brain

Question 27

major component of the brain and the spinal cord of central nervous system.

Answer 27

neuron or nerve cell

Question 28

carry impulses towards the cell body/ receive messages from nearby neurons.

Answer 28

Dendrites

Question 29

In order for a message to jump into the space in between neurons

Answer 29

synapse

Question 30

transported and released in the synapse with use of synaptic vesicles.

Answer 30

neurotransmitters

Question 31

is the link between the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the rest of the body. The information carried by the nervous system travels along specialized called nerves or neurons which made up of a network bundled rope like structure.

Answer 31

Peripheral Nervous System is

Question 32

This system is associated with the voluntary control of body movements

Answer 32

Somatic Nervous System

Question 33

the nerves that carry motor and sensory signals between the spinal cord and the body

Answer 33

Spinal Nerves

Question 34

the nerve fibers that carry information into and out of the brain stem.

Answer 34

Cranial Nerves

Question 35

This system is associated with the involuntary control of body movements

Answer 35

Autonomic Nervous System

Question 36

it is activated when the body is in a dynamic role or stress. (e.g., increased heart rate and breathing, dilation of pupil, sweating, etc.)

Answer 36

Sympathetic

Question 37

it maintains body functions and restores the body to normal or relaxed mode.

Answer 37

Parasympathetic
