What two components make up the Central Nervous System (CNS)?
Brain and spinal cord
The brain is the control center responsible for thought, emotion, and
action
The spinal cord acts as a pathway for sensory and
motor
signals between the brain and the body.
What is the function of the brain in the CNS?
Control center for CNS
The spinal cord serves as a pathway for sensory and motor
signals
The spinal cord is responsible for processing thoughts and emotions.
False
Match the CNS component with its function:
Brain ↔️ Control center for CNS
Spinal cord ↔️ Pathway for sensory signals
Arrange the functions of the brain in the order they appear in the study material:
1️⃣ Cognition
2️⃣ Emotion
3️⃣ Movement
4️⃣ Regulation
Which function of the brain involves thinking, learning, and memory processes?
Cognition
The brain processes and regulates feelings through the function of
emotion
The brain's function of regulation maintains the body's
internal environment
.
Match the brain function with its description:
Cognition ↔️ Processes thoughts and memory
Emotion ↔️ Regulates feelings
Movement ↔️ Controls actions
Regulation ↔️ Maintains internal balance
What is the primary role of the spinal cord in the CNS?
Pathway for sensory signals
The brain's function of
cognition
processes thoughts and memory.
The brain's function of emotion
regulates
feelings and emotions.
Which brain function controls voluntary and involuntary actions?
Movement
What is the brain responsible for in the Central Nervous System?
Critical functions
The brain controls cognition, which includes thinking, learning, and
memory
The brain processes and regulates
emotions
.
What type of actions does the brain control?
Voluntary and involuntary
The brain maintains the body's internal
environment
The brain is the control center of the
Central Nervous System
.
What is the role of the spinal cord in the Central Nervous System?
Signal transmission
Reflex arcs enable quick responses to
stimuli
without brain involvement.
The Central Nervous System (CNS) is composed of the brain and spinal
cord
What is the coordination role of the CNS?
Plan and execute actions
The CNS relays signals between the
brain
and the body.
The brain functions as the control center for thoughts, emotions, and
actions
What are the two main components of the Central Nervous System?
Brain and spinal cord
The brain is the control center of the
CNS
Match the brain function with its description:
Cognition ↔️ Processes thoughts and memory
Emotion ↔️ Regulates feelings
Movement ↔️ Controls actions
What processes does the brain's cognition function handle?
Thinking, learning, and memory
The brain's regulation function maintains the body's internal
environment
What is the main role of the spinal cord in the CNS?
Signal transmission
Match the spinal cord function with its description:
Sensory Signal Transmission ↔️ Carries sensory information to the brain
Motor Command Transmission ↔️ Transports motor instructions from the brain
Reflex Arcs ↔️ Rapid responses without brain processing
Reflex arcs bypass the
brain
, allowing for quick responses to stimuli.
What are the two primary components of the CNS?
Brain and spinal cord
The CNS ensures seamless operation through coordination, control, and
communication
The CNS controls both voluntary and
involuntary
movements.
What are the two main categories of methods for studying the CNS?
Invasive and non-invasive
