Questions and Answers
What is the purpose of sensory neurons?
What is the purpose of sensory neurons?
- To bring signals into the central nervous system (correct)
- To carry signals out of the central nervous system
- To analyze information
- To control motor neurons
What are the two main parts of the human nervous system?
What are the two main parts of the human nervous system?
- The brain and spinal cord
- Neurons and parts of neurons
- The central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system (correct)
- Sensory neurons and motor neurons
What is an example of a part of the peripheral nervous system?
What is an example of a part of the peripheral nervous system?
- The spinal cord
- Motor neurons
- The brain
- Sensory neurons (correct)
Study Notes
- The human nervous system can be broadly divided into the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (neurons and parts of neurons found outside of the brain and spinal cord).
- The central nervous system is where all the analysis of information takes place.
- The peripheral nervous system includes sensory neurons and motor neurons. Sensory neurons bring signals into the central nervous system, and motor neurons carry signals out of the central nervous system.
