Structure and Function of the Nervous System
Psychology ⇒ Biological Bases of Behavior
Structure and Function of the Nervous System 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 Structure and Function of the Nervous System.
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 11
Describe the function of the thalamus in the brain.
Describe the main difference between sensory neurons and motor neurons.
Describe the process of synaptic transmission.
Explain the difference between the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Explain the role of acetylcholine in the nervous system.
Explain the role of the parasympathetic nervous system in the body.

A person touches a hot stove and immediately pulls their hand away before feeling pain. Which neural process is responsible for this quick reaction? (1) Synaptic transmission (2) Reflex arc (3) Neurogenesis (4) Hormonal response
