A. Nerves

B. Brain

C. Ganglia

D. Sensory Receptors

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. 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

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. By directly controlling heart rate and breathing

B. By transmitting motor commands to skeletal muscles and relaying sensory information to the brain

C. By releasing hormones into the bloodstream

D. By initiating the fight-or-flight response

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. The sympathetic division controls voluntary movements, while the parasympathetic controls involuntary movements.

B. The sympathetic division prepares the body for 'fight or flight,' while the parasympathetic division promotes 'rest and digest'.

C. The sympathetic division is part of the central nervous system, while the parasympathetic is part of the peripheral nervous system.

D. The sympathetic division only affects muscles, while the parasympathetic only affects glands.

A. The somatic nervous system

B. The parasympathetic nervous system

C. The sympathetic nervous system

D. The central nervous system

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
