The Nervous System

Question 1

Sensory function

Answer 1

Sensory receptors, detect internal stimuli and external stimuli, and this sensory information is then carried into brain and spinal cord through cranial and spinal nerves

Question 2

Functions of the nervous system

Answer 2

Sensory function
Motor function
Integrative function

Question 3

Integrative function

Answer 3

The nervous system integrates sensory information by analysing and storing some of it, and by making decisions for appropriate reasons

Question 4

Motor function

Answer 4

One sensor information is integrated of the nervous system made select an appropriate motor response by activating affecters, three cranial and spinal nerves stimulation of the effectors causes muscles to contract and glands to secrete

Question 5

Neurons

Answer 5

They are nerve cells
Possess electrical, excitability, the ability to respond to a stimulus, and convert it into an action potential

Question 6

Action potential

Answer 6

A nerve impulse
An electrical signals propagates along the surface of the membrane of a neuron

Question 7

The central nervous system

Answer 7

Consists of brain and spinal cord
Processes, different kinds of incoming sensory information

Question 8

Peripheral nervous system

Answer 8

Includes all nervous tissue outside the CNS
May be subdivided further into a somatic, nervous system, an autonomic, nervous system, or an enteric nervous system

Question 9

Somatic nervous system

Answer 9

Consists of sensory neurons that convey information from somatic receptors in head body wall and limbs to the CNS and motor neurons that conducts impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles only

Question 10

Autonomic nervous system

Answer 10

Consist of sensory neurons that convey information from autonomic sensory receptors to the CNS and motor neurons that conduct nerve impulses
Action of ANS involuntary
