sensory transduction.
adaptation.
propagation.
repolarization.

3. Detection of stimuli is a responsibility of the ________ while perception of the stimuli is a responsibility of the ________.
upper motor neuron; lower motor neuron
CNS; PNS
PNS; CNS
second-order neuron; first-order neuron

4. The lumbar nerve plexuses arise from the anterior rami of L1 - L4 and innervate structures of the pelvis and lower limb.
True
False

5. What is cranial nerve VIII?
facial nerve
vestibulocochlear nerve
trigeminal nerve
glossopharyngeal nerve

6. Which of the following is NOT a function of neurons?
transmitting motor information
forming the myelin sheath
integration
carrying sensory information

7. What brain region is responsible for learning, memory, and personality?
diencephalon
cerebellum
brainstem
cerebrum

8. The majority of synapses in the nervous system are:
voltage.
chemical.
electrical.
mechanical.

9. The right corticospinal tracts of the spinal cord usually carry motor information from the left cerebral cortex of the brain.
True
False

10. Where are neuronal pools located?
within ganglia
within the CNS
within the PNS
within nerves

an upper motor neuron
a sensory neuron

14. An elevated ridge on the surface of the cerebrum is known as a:
gyrus.
sulcus.
fissure.
furrow.

15. Proprioceptors are located in the musculoskeletal system where they detect the movement and position of a joint or body part.
True
False

16. Which division detects stimuli of the general senses and special senses?
somatic sensory division
somatic motor division
visceral motor division (autonomic nervous system)
visceral sensory division

17. Neurotransmitters can be either excitatory or inhibitory depending upon the receptor present on the postsynaptic neuron.
True
False

18. During depolarization, the membrane potential becomes more positive.
True
False

19. What is NOT a function of the nervous system?
direct long-term functions such as growth
control effectors
sense the internal and external environments
integrate sensory information

20. Cognition is best described as:
the ability to comprehend and produce words.
encoding and storing learned information in our neural circuitry.
recognizing, processing, planning, and responding to stimuli.
a reversible and normal suspension of consciousness.

21. In contrast to the nervous system, the endocrine system accomplishes homeostasis by:
producing an immediate effect in target cells.
releasing hormones into the blood that regulate the functions of other cells.
sending action potentials that excite or inhibit target cells.
controlling the activities of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
