Biological Bases of Behavior

A. Relaying signals between the body and brain

B. Regulating involuntary processes like heart rate

C. Processing sensory information and sending motor commands

D. Controlling voluntary movements of skeletal muscles

A. Spinal Cord

B. Brain

C. Nerves

D. Cerebellum

A. To process sensory information and make decisions

B. To regulate involuntary functions like digestion

C. To serve as a communication relay between the CNS and the rest of the body

D. To control voluntary movements of skeletal muscles

A. The somatic nervous system

B. The parasympathetic nervous system

C. The sympathetic nervous system

D. The central nervous system

A. By directly regulating blood pressure and body temperature

B. By controlling the release of adrenaline during stress

C. By allowing us to move our skeletal muscles and experience sensations like touch and pain

D. By automatically adjusting our breathing rate during exercise

A. The SNS controls only voluntary movements, while the ANS controls only involuntary processes, without any interaction.

B. The SNS and ANS work together, with the SNS initiating voluntary actions and the ANS adjusting internal functions to support those actions.

C. The SNS and ANS operate independently, with the SNS responding to external stimuli and the ANS responding to internal stimuli.

D. The SNS and ANS compete with each other, with one system dominating depending on the situation.

A. Nerves

B. Brain

C. Ganglia

D. Sensory Receptors

A. Controlling voluntary muscle movements

B. Regulating involuntary processes essential for survival

C. Processing sensory information from the environment

D. Enabling conscious thought and decision-making

A. Regulating heart rate and digestion

B. Controlling voluntary movements and behaviors

C. Processing sensory information from internal organs

D. Releasing hormones into the bloodstream

A. Reflex actions controlled by the spinal cord

B. Regulation of heart rate during sleep

C. The experience of feeling an emotion like happiness

D. Transmission of pain signals from the skin to the brain
