Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems
Psychology ⇒ Biological Bases of Behavior
Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
Describe how the peripheral nervous system interacts with the central nervous system.
Describe the pathway of a reflex action, starting from the stimulus.
Explain the difference between the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Explain the importance of the blood-brain barrier in the central nervous system.
Explain why damage to the spinal cord can result in paralysis.
Name the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system.
What is the main difference between afferent and efferent nerves?

The ________ nervous system controls voluntary movements of skeletal muscles.
The ________ nervous system is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
The ________ nervous system is responsible for the 'rest and digest' response.
The ________ nervous system is responsible for transmitting information from the CNS to the limbs and organs.
True or False: All nerves in the body are part of the central nervous system.
True or False: Motor (efferent) nerves transmit signals from the CNS to effectors like muscles and glands.
True or False: The autonomic nervous system is under conscious control.
True or False: The central nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and all peripheral nerves.
