Lesson Worksheet: Organization of the Nervous System Biology
In this worksheet, we will practice describing the organization of the human nervous system.
Q1:
What are the components of the central nervous system?
- AThe brain and the cranial nerves
- BThe spine and the spinal nerves
- CThe nerves in the body outside of the brain and the spinal cord
- DThe brain and the spinal cord
Q2:
What part of the nervous system is made up of the nerves that extend from the brain and spinal cord into the external limbs and other organs?
- ACentral nervous system
- BPeripheral nervous system
Q3:
What part of the nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord?
- AAutonomic nervous system
- BPeripheral nervous system
- CCentral nervous system
Q4:
Which of the following is not a division of the human nervous system?
- APeripheral
- BCentral
- CEndocrine
Q5:
Fill in the blanks: The primary function of the nervous system is to receive information from the external and internal and coordinate .
- Adendrites, impulses
- Benvironments, responses
- Cneurons, reflexes
- Dstimuli, movements
Q6:
What is the primary purpose of the peripheral nervous system?
- ATo process information received from the environment and coordinate responses
- BTo transmit information toward or away from the central nervous system
Q7:
What are the components of the peripheral nervous system?
- AThe brain and the cranial nerves
- BThe spine and the spinal nerves
- CThe brain and the spinal cord
- DThe nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord
Q8:
The diagram provided shows how the peripheral nervous system and its motor division are divided into their component parts. What is the primary function of the autonomic nervous system?
- ATo transmit information to muscles and glands that are not under voluntary or conscious control
- BTo transmit information to muscles and glands that are under voluntary or conscious control and to mediate reflex actions
Q9:
Which of the following diagrams correctly demonstrates the organization of the human nervous system?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Q10:
The diagram provided shows how the peripheral nervous system and its motor division are divided into their component parts. What is the primary function of the somatic nervous system?
- ATo transmit information to muscles that are under voluntary or conscious control and to mediate reflex actions
- BTo transmit information to muscles and glands that are not under voluntary or conscious control
