considered as its Central Processing Unit (CPU)?
a. axons b. brain c. nerve cells d. dendrites

2. Which is a part of the brain that controls coordination and balance?

a. Cerebrum b. cerebellum c. medulla oblongata d. pons

3. Which term describes the special connection existing between nerve cells?
a. Dendrites b. axon c. synapse d. axon

4. Which of the following describes the special connection existing between nerve cells?
a. Breaks down foods to be used by the body.
b. Sends, receives and interprets information to and from the brain.
c. Removes wastes from the body.
d. All of these.

5. Which of the following comprises a central nervous system (CNS)?

a. Spinal, cranial, sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves
b. Spinal cord, cranial and nerve cells
c. Brain and spinal cord
d. All of these

6. The hypothalamus of the brain controls the following functions EXCEPT:

a. Blood pressure b. emotions c. body temperature d. speech

7. Which of the following does NOT describe peripheral nervous system (PNS)?
a. It consists of nerve cells that carry signals or impulses between the CNS and the effectors.
b. It consists of the brain and the spinal cord.
c. It has somatic and autonomic divisions.
d. It can receive signals from the external environment.

8. Which is responsible for communication in an endocrine system?

a. chemicals b. hormones c. glands d. blood
For items 9-21 select your answer from the choices below:

A. Central Nervous System B. Peripheral Nervous System

C. Brain D. Spinal Cord
E. Cerebrum F. Cerebellum

I. Autonomic Nervous System J. Cranial Nerves
K. Spinal Nerves L. Sympathetic Nerves
M. Parasympathetic Nerves

9. An organ located within the skull that functions as organizer and distributor of information for the body.
10. This serves as a channel for signals between the brain and the rest of the body, and controls simple
musculoskeletal reflexes without input from the brain.
11. This system connects the central nervous system to the organs and limbs.
12. This system is associated with the involuntary control of body movements.
13. It serves as the main processing center for the entire nervous system.
14. It is the largest, upper part of the brain that controls activity and thought.
15. These include the nerve fibers that carry information into and out of the brain stem.
16. This system is activated when the body is in a dynamic role or stress like increased heart rate and
breathing, dilation of pupil or sweating.
17. The nerves that maintains body functions and restores the body to normal or relaxed mode.
18. It is the part of the brain located under the cerebrum that controls posture, balance, and coordination.
19. This is a part that connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions such as
breathing, digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure.
20. This system is associated with the voluntary control of body movements.
21. This includes the nerves that carry motor and sensory signals between the spinal cord and the body.

22. Which of the following shows the correct path of signals from the environment as it is perceived and
transmitted through the nervous system?
a. Brain, spinal cord, motor neurons, sensory neurons, interneurons
b. Sensory neurons, spinal cord, motor neurons, interneurons, brain
c. Sensory neurons, spinal cord, interneurons, brain, motor neurons
d. Sensory neurons, spinal cord, brain, interneurons, motor neurons

23. Which endocrine gland serves as the master gland as it controls the functions of other glands in the
endocrine system?
a. Thyroid gland b. pituitary gland c. thymus gland ovaries
For items 24-37 by completing the table of endocrine glands, its location, hormone/s released and functions
below:
Endocrine Gland Location Hormones Released Function
Pituitary At the base of the brain (24) (25)
(26) (27) Thyroxin, calcitonin Regulates body
metabolism and causes
storage of calcium in
bones
Parathyroid In the neck (28) Controls calcium levels in
your body and normalizes
bone growth
(29) (30) Adrenaline Prepares the body for
action, controls heart rate
and breathing during
times of emergency
Thymus (31) (32) Enables the body to
produce certain
antibodies.
Ovaries Lower abdomen (33) (34)
(35) (36) Androgen and Controls maturation of
testosterone sperm cells and male
secondary sexual
characteristics
Islets of Langerhans (37) (38) Controls blood sugar
levels

For items 39-44 identify the hormones responsible for each of the following situations:

39. Marga burning up calories during an exercise.

43. Wency is in bed for days and is trying to cope with his illness.
44. Emmarie had eaten so much sweets on new year’s eve.

45. Which of the following refers to the function of the female reproductive system?

b. nourish the development of a new individual d. all of these

46. It refers to the part of the male reproductive system that produces sperm cells.
a. scrotum b. penis c. testis d. prostate gland

47. Which part of the female reproductive system serves as the site of egg fertilization?
a. vagina b. ovaries d. uterus d. fallopian tube

48. Which of the following serves as the site for fertilized egg implantation and development?
