6. which neurons take signals from the CNS to the effectors (muscles and glands)

  • brain
  • motor
  • inter
  • sensory

7. which neurons take signals from sense organ receptors to the CNS?

  • brain
  • motor
  • sensory
  • inter

8. What is an advantage of a converging neural pathway

  • It keeps the signals repeating
  • It increases sensitivity to excitatory or inhibitory signals
  • It allows precision with movement
  • It stops the signals repeating

9. What does the peripheral nervous system consist of?

  • medulla and SAN
  • brain and spinal cord
  • somatic and autonomic nervous systems
  • brain and spine

10. What effect does the sympathetic NS have on heart rate and breathing rate?

  • keeps them the same
  • Speeds them up
  • slows them down
  • has no affect

11. Give an advantage of a diverging neural pathway.

  • It stops the signals repeating
  • It can affect more than one destination at a time.
  • It keeps the signals repeating
  • It increases sensitivity to excitatory or inhibitory signals

12. In which type of neural pathway do signals travel from several neurons into one neuron?

  • merging
  • converging
  • reverberating
  • diverging

13. Motor and sensory neurons are part of which nervous system?

  • somatic
  • autonomic
  • central
  • brain

14. Name the two parts of the autonomic nervous system.

  • sympathetic and parasympathetic
  • symathetic and SAN
  • medulla and SAN
  • parasynpathetic and somatic
