Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

Which of the following is NOT a type of neurone in the nervous system?

Motor neurone

Sensory neurone

Relay neurone

Contractile neurone

Correct

Explanation

The correct types of neurones include motor, sensory, and relay neurones, but there is no type called contractile neurone.

Question 3

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What are the two main divisions of the nervous system?

Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems

Correct

Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems

Somatic and Autonomic Nervous Systems

Anterior and Posterior Nervous Systems

Explanation

The two main divisions of the nervous system are the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).

Question 4

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for the voluntary control of movements?

Autonomic Nervous System

Central Nervous System

Correct

Sympathetic Nervous System

Peripheral Nervous System

Explanation

The Central Nervous System (CNS) is responsible for integrating and processing information to control voluntary movements.

Question 5

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What is the role of spinal nerves in the nervous system?

To process sensory information only

To connect the brain to the peripheral body parts

Correct

To control involuntary actions only

To produce electrical impulses

Explanation

Spinal nerves connect the brain to various peripheral body parts, facilitating communication between the CNS and the rest of the body.

Question 6

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

Which part of the brain contains the ventricles?

Cerebrum

Cerebellum

Brainstem

All of the above

Correct

Explanation

Ventricles are present in the brain and encompass structures within the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem.

Question 7

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What type of neurone transmits signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system?

Motor neurone

Interneurone

Sensory neurone

Correct

Relay neurone

Explanation

Sensory neurones are responsible for transmitting signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.

Question 8

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

Which component of the nervous system controls involuntary actions?

Somatic Nervous System

Autonomic Nervous System

Correct

Central Nervous System

Peripheral Nervous System

Explanation

The Autonomic Nervous System controls involuntary actions, such as heartbeat and digestion.

Question 9

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What is the main function of relay neurones?

To conduct impulses to and from the brain

To transmit signals between sensory and motor neurones

Correct

To connect the spinal cord to muscles

To detect environmental changes

Explanation

Relay neurones transmit signals between sensory neurones and motor neurones, facilitating communication within the CNS.

Question 10

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

How many pairs of spinal nerves are there in the human body?

Correct

Explanation

There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves in the human body, which serve different regions of the body.

Question 11

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What structure connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain?

Corpus callosum

Correct

Cerebellum

Ventricles

Thalamus

Explanation

The corpus callosum is the structure that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

Question 12

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What is cerebrospinal fluid primarily responsible for?

Nutrient absorption

Cushioning and protection of the brain

Correct

Conducting neural impulses

Regulating body temperature

Explanation

Cerebrospinal fluid provides cushioning and protection to the brain and spinal cord.

Question 13

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

Which type of neurone is responsible for muscle movement?

Sensory neurone

Motor neurone

Correct

Relay neurone

Interneurone

Explanation

Motor neurones are responsible for transmitting signals that result in muscle movement.

Question 14

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What are the ventricles of the brain filled with?

Blood

Air

Cerebrospinal fluid

Correct

Lymphatic fluid

Explanation

The ventricles of the brain are filled with cerebrospinal fluid, which provides support and nourishment.

Question 15

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

Where are the spinal nerves located?

In the brain

Along the spinal cord

Correct

In the lungs

In the digestive tract

Explanation

Spinal nerves are located along the spinal cord, extending from the cervical to the sacral regions.

Question 16

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What is the primary role of the autonomic nervous system?

Regulating voluntary movements

Controlling involuntary bodily functions

Correct

Processing sensory information

Facilitating cognitive functions

Explanation

The autonomic nervous system primarily controls involuntary bodily functions, such as heart rate and digestion.

Question 17

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What is the significance of myelin sheath around neurones?

To provide structural support

To insulate and speed up neural impulses

Correct

To store neurotransmitters

To facilitate blood flow

Explanation

The myelin sheath insulates neurones and increases the speed at which electrical impulses are conducted.

Question 18

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

Which process allows neurones to communicate with one another?

Diffusion

Synaptic transmission

Correct

Membrane transport

Electrolysis

Explanation

Neurones communicate with each other through a process called synaptic transmission, which involves the release of neurotransmitters.

Question 19

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

What is the function of the spinal cord in the nervous system?

Processing and integrating information

Transmitting messages between the brain and the body

Correct

Producing hormones

Filtering sensory stimuli

Explanation

The spinal cord acts as a major pathway for transmitting messages between the brain and the body.

Question 20

Basic multiple choice Remembering understanding

Which of the following statements accurately describes the function of different types of neurons within the nervous system?

All neurons function to transmit signals in the same manner, with no differentiation in roles.

Sensory neurons transmit signals from the brain to muscles, facilitating movement.

Interneurons are solely responsible for connecting the spinal cord to the brain.

Motor neurons transmit signals from the spinal cord to muscles and glands, playing a crucial role in motor control.

Correct

Explanation

Motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the spinal cord to various effectors like muscles and glands, thus controlling voluntary and involuntary movements. In contrast, sensory neurons carry signals from sensory receptors to the spinal cord and brain, and interneurons primarily act as connectors within the spinal cord and brain.
