8 Questions
Which part of the human nervous system is responsible for reflex actions?
Spinal cord
What triggers a nerve impulse in the human nervous system?
Stimulus
Which type of neurone carries the impulse to the central nervous system?
Sensory neurones
What is the purpose of a reflex action in the human body?
To control muscles and glands
Match the following components and processes of the human nervous system with their descriptions:
Nerve impulse = An electrical signal that travels along nerve cells Reflex arc = A rapid and automatic integration and coordination of stimuli with the responses of effectors Stimulus = Something that triggers a nerve impulse Motor neurone = Carries the response to the appropriate effector
Match the following parts of the human nervous system with their functions:
Central nervous system = Processes the nerve impulse Peripheral nervous system = Consists of sensory and motor neurones Spinal cord = Part of the central nervous system Sensory neurone = Carries the impulse from the receptor to the central nervous system
Match the following terms related to the human nervous system with their definitions:
Nervous system = Consists of nerve cells that transmit nerve impulses Effectors = Muscles and glands that respond to the nerve impulse Neurones = Nerve cells that carry the nerve impulse Response = Action or behavior that occurs as a result of the nerve impulse
Match the following steps of a reflex action with their descriptions:
Stimulus = Triggers a nerve impulse Impulse is picked up by a = Sensory neurone Impulse is carried to the = Central nervous system Response to stimulus occurs = After the central nervous system processes the impulse
Test your knowledge about nerve impulses and the human nervous system with this quiz. Explore topics such as the central and peripheral nervous systems, reflex arcs, and the journey of a nerve impulse through sensory and motor neurons. Challenge yourself and deepen your understanding of how our body processes and responds to stimuli.
