Basic Nervous System Anatomy Worksheet

What does CNS and PNS stand for? Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.
What are the parts of the CNS? The brain, spinal cord, and it control thinking. Memory, and behavior
Describe something that you do on a regular basis that your PNS controls. Walking. Your brain is sending a message to your body.
What are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system and what does each control? Sympathetic and the parasympathetic. The sympathetic controls the body in time of stress, worry, fear, and emergency. The parasympathetic is the part of the autonomic nervous system consisting of nerves and ganglia that arise from the cranial and sacral regions and function in opposition to the sympathetic system, as in inhibiting heartbeat or contracting the pupil of the eye
5. What are the three main types of neurons? What is the function of each? Sensory takes your impulse from your body if you gotten burned to the spinal cord. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that conducts impulses to a muscle, gland, or other effector. An interneuron is any neuron having its cell body, axon, and dendrites entirely within the central nervous system, especially one that conveys impulses between a motor neuron and a sensory neuron.
What is the function of the axon of a nerve cell? The dendrite? The axon is the sending end of the neuron. The dendrite is the receiving end.
7. What is a synapse? A region where nerve impulses are transmitted and received. Encompassing the axon terminal of a neuron that releases neurotransmitters in response to an impulse. An extremely small gap across which the neurotransmitters travel, and the adjacent membrane of an axon, dendrite, or muscle or gland cell with the appropriate receptor molecules for picking up the neurotransmitters.
Sketch a neuron and label the axon and the dendrite.
