Questions and Answers

What are the two main parts of the mammalian nervous system?

  • Brain and spinal cord
  • Motor Neurone and Sensory Neurone
  • Nerves and neurones
  • Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) (correct)

    • What is the function of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)?

  • Coordinate and regulate body functions (correct)

    • What is a reflex action?

  • Automatically and rapidly integrates and coordinates stimuli with the responses of effectors (correct)
  • A type of nerve impulse
  • The gap between neurones
  • A type of synapse
