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 12
Describe how the nervous system and endocrine system interact to regulate behavior.
Describe the main difference between afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) neurons.
Describe the process of synaptic transmission in your own words.
Describe the role of interneurons in the nervous system.
Explain how the action potential is generated and propagated along a neuron.
Explain the difference between the central and peripheral nervous systems.

A person touches a hot stove and quickly withdraws their hand before feeling pain. Which type of neural circuit is responsible for this response? (1) Reflex arc (2) Sensory pathway (3) Motor pathway (4) Association pathway

The _______ is a bundle of axons that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
The _______ is a fatty substance that covers some axons and increases the speed of neural transmission.
The _______ is the part of the neuron that contains the nucleus and most of the cell's organelles.
The _______ lobe of the brain is involved in planning, decision-making, and voluntary movement.
True or False: All neurons have the same structure and function.
True or False: Glutamate is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.
True or False: The autonomic nervous system operates mostly under conscious control.
True or False: The cerebellum is involved in regulating balance and coordination.
