    The document discusses the main parts of the nervous system including the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. It asks the reader to complete a table by matching descriptions to these parts of the brain. One term, the reflex arc, is identified as not belonging with the axon and dendrite. The central and peripheral nervous systems are connected via synapses between neurons. Shaken baby syndrome is defined as a severe brain injury caused by shaking babies, which can affect them permanently. It asks how it can be prevented. Finally, it distinguishes between axons, which carry nerve impulses away from neurons, and dendrites, which carry impulses to neurons from synapses.

    9- 2 NERVOUS SYSTEM

    1.

    Brain stem

    cerebrum
    Cerebellum
    Brain stem
    cerebrum

    Cerebellum

    Cerebrum, cerebellum or brains stem? (X6)


    2. Complete the table by checking the correct columns for each description. (X5)

    3. Choose the one term that does not belong and explain why it does not belong. (X2)
    AXON / REFLEX ARC / DENDRITE

    The reflex arc is the term that it does not belong because the axon and the dendrite are
    components of the nerve cells meanwhile the reflex arc is the respond of the body to stimulus.

    4. How and why are the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System connected?
    (X2)

    They are connected by the synapses that are located in the middle of the neurons allowing
    the communication.
    5. What is the Shaken Baby Syndrome? How does it affect babies? How can it be prevented?

    is a severe brain injury that it is caused when an adult shakes the baby, it affect the brain of
    the kid or baby permanently, we can prevent it by just not shaking the kid.

    6. Distinguish between axon ending and dendrite.

    The difference is that the axon carries the nerve impulses away from the cell meanwhile the
    dendrites carry nerve impulses from the synapses to the cells
