If a person has difficulty maintaining balance after an accident, which part of the brain is most likely damaged?

Cerebellum

Name one voluntary action controlled by the nervous system.

Walking, writing, or talking.

Which part of the neuron carries impulses away from the cell body?

Axon

Which nerve carries messages from the CNS to muscles/glands?

Motor nueron

Name the part of the neuron that receives messages.

Dendrite

Which nerve carries messages from sense organs to the brain/spinal cord?

Sensory neuron

A student suddenly touches a sharp thorn and pulls the hand away without thinking. Which sequence shows the correct pathway?

Receptor → Sensory neuron → Relay neuron → Motor neuron → Effector

A man eats food, and his salivary glands immediately start producing saliva. Here, the effector is:

Tongue

What is the role of the myelin sheath?

The myelin sheath provides insulation and increases the speed of nerve impulse conduction.

Which of the following BEST describes the role of the nervous system?

It acts as a communication system between body and environment.

Which part of the brain controls voluntary actions?

Cerebrum

While doing an experiment on reflexes, a doctor cuts the motor neuron supplying a muscle. What will happen if the sensory neuron is still intact?

The muscle will not contract because messages cannot reach it.

What is the main importance of the nervous system in the body?

It controls and coordinates all activities of the body

Which structure connects the brain to the spinal cord?

Medulla oblongata

Define reflex action in one line.

Quick, automatic, involuntary response to a stimulus
