  • The nervous system is responsible for _____________ the external information that is captured by the sense organs.
    Controling
    Having
    Interpreting
    Giving orders
  • There are two types of nerves:
    The central nervous system & peripheral nervous system
    sensory & motor
    brain & spinal cord
    peripheral nervous system & nerves
  • The cells that form the nervous tissue are called:
    axon
    neurons
    dendrites
    body
  • It is the widest part of the neuron.
    body
    axon
    dendrites
  • The brain sends orders to the _____________ of the arms and legs through the nerves.
    The muscles
  • It controls activities of internal organs.
    cerebellum
    brainstem
    spinal cord
    cerebrum
  • They are like branches. The neuron receives messages through them from the sense organs or from other neurons.
    dendrites
    axon
    body
  • It is protected inside the vertebrae that form the spinal column. It produces involuntary responses, such as when we move our hand away from hot objects.
    body
    dendrites
    axon
    spinal cord
  • It is one extension. It is longer and thinner than the dendrites. It transmits messages to other neurons or sends orders to the organs.
    axon
    body
    dendrites
  • This disease causes involuntary tremors because neurons in the brain are damaged.
    Brain injuries
    Spinal Cord injuries
    Alzheimer's Disease
    Parkison's Disease
  • It controls movement, coordination and balance.
    cerebellum
    brainstem
    spinal cord
    cerebrum
  • _________ is continuous and often automatic. Through it we capture information from our environment and respond to it.
    Sensitivity
  • To look after your nervous system it's important to:
    Get enough sleep, Don't drink alcohol
  • The nervous system is responsible for _____________ so that our body can react.
    Giving orders
    Having
    Controling
    Interpreting
  • The nervous system consists of only one type of tissue:
    veins tissue
    muscle tissue
    nervous tissue
    brain tissue
  • It is made of the muscular system and the skeletal system.
    The Locomotor System
  • The nervous system is made of two parts:
    The central nervous system & peripheral nervous system
    brain & spinal cord
    peripheral nervous system & nerves
    sensory nerves & motor nerves
  • This disease involves memory loss. It usually affects elderly people.
    Brain injuries
    Alzheimer's Disease
    Spinal Cord injuries
    Parkison's Disease
  • The brain has three parts:
    brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system
    cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem
    dendrites, axon, and body
    nerves, sensory nerves, and motor nerves
  • Each neuron has three parts:
    cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem
    dendrites, axon, and body
    nerves, sensory nerves, and motor nerves
    brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system
  • Sense organs have __________. They capture information from the environment.
    receptors
  • It controls voluntary actions, like talking. It stores data and memories, and processes thoughts.
    brainstem
    cerebellum
    cerebrum
    spinal cord
  • The peripheral nervous systems consists of:
    nerves
    cerebellum
    brain
    spinal cord
  • It is another part of the nervous system. It receives and interprets the information and decides what to do.
    The brain
  • The brain sends orders to the muscles of the arms and legs through the __________.
    The nerves
  • These can happen when you hit your head. They can be caused by traffic, driving, and sports accidents.
    Brain injuries
    Spinal Cord injuries
    Parkison's Disease
    Alzheimer's Disease
  • These injuries happen when you fracture your spinal column and damage the spinal cord.
    Spinal cord injuries
    Alzheimer's Disease
    Parkison's Disease
    Brain injuries
  • These are long fibres made of several neurons.
    nerves
  • They are part of the nervous system. They carry information from the sense organs to the brain.
