option.

The nervous system is the body's __________ system that controls and coordinates
the activities of the body.

The basic unit of the nervous system is called a __________.

The three main parts of the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, and
__________.

The nervous system can be divided into two main parts: the central nervous system
(CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the __________
and the spinal cord.

The PNS consists of nerves that connect the __________ to the rest of the body.

Neurons are special cells that transmit __________ signals.

The part of the neuron that receives signals from other neurons is called the
__________.

The long, tail-like part of a neuron that sends signals to other cells is called
the __________.

The tiny gap between two neurons, where signals are passed from one neuron to
another, is called the __________.

The brain is the control center of the body and is responsible for thinking,
__________, memory, and many other functions.

The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that runs down the back and is responsible
for transmitting __________ between the brain and the rest of the body.
The sensory neurons carry information from the __________ to the brain.

The motor neurons carry signals from the brain to the __________, telling them how
to respond.

Reflexes are automatic responses to stimuli that help protect the body from
__________ situations.

The voluntary actions are those that we consciously control, like __________ and
speaking.

Multiple Choice: Choose the correct option.

The nervous system helps us to:

a) Digest food
b) Control voluntary actions
c) Pump blood
d) Filter waste

Which part of the nervous system controls involuntary actions like heart rate and
digestion?
a) Central Nervous System
b) Peripheral Nervous System
c) Autonomic Nervous System
d) Voluntary Nervous System

The brain is protected by:

a) Lungs
b) Skull
c) Stomach
d) Spinal Cord

Which type of neuron carries information from the senses to the brain?
a) Motor Neuron
b) Reflex Neuron
c) Sensory Neuron
d) Connector Neuron

Which part of the neuron contains the nucleus?

a) Axon
b) Dendrite
c) Cell Body
d) Synapse

True or False:

The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. (True/False)

Reflexes are controlled by the conscious part of the brain. (True/False)

The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves that are located outside the brain
and spinal cord. (True/False)

Neurons can transmit electrical signals and chemical signals. (True/False)

The nervous system plays no role in controlling movement. (True/False)

Bonus Question:
Explain the difference between the central nervous system and the peripheral
nervous system.
Answers:

b) Control voluntary actions

c) Autonomic Nervous System

b) Skull

c) Sensory Neuron

c) Cell Body

True

False

True

True

False

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. It is the
main control center of the body. The peripheral nervous system (PNS), on the other
hand, consists of nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body. The PNS is
responsible for transmitting information to and from the CNS, allowing the body to
interact with its external environment.
