Which of the following structures or systems is correctly paired with its function? -Central nervous system - processes information and controls responses -Frontal Lobe - portion of the brain that controls body movement -Neurons - brain cells that control thoughts, calculations, and memory -Peripheral nervous system - releases hormones and controls emotions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first one and the second one is correctly paired.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then it's the first one. I answered the question with the second and got it wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't get you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you didn't understand? okay well you said it is the first or the second, because they're both right. I answered the question with the second on my assignment and got it wrong. So it's the first. I'm assuming.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, instead of writing third one I wrote second one. correct it please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain why? It's the first and third I mean.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think know about it but the reason I said the second one wrong is that frontal lobe is connected with emotions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was responsible for movement, emotions and parts of speech.

What does the central nervous system do? Your spinal cord receives information from the skin, joints and muscles of your body. It also carries the nerves that control all your movements. Your brain is the most complicated part of your nervous system. It receives information directly from your ears, eyes, nose and mouth, as well as from the rest of your body via the spinal cord. It uses this information to help you react, remember, think and plan, and then sends out the appropriate instructions to your body. What does the peripheral nervous system do? Some of your peripheral nervous system (PNS) is under your voluntary control - the nerves that carry instructions from your brain to your limbs, for example. As well as controlling your muscles and joints, it sends all the information from your senses back to your brain. Other parts of your PNS are controlled by the brain automatically. This is the autonomic nervous system. It manages some things your body does 'without thinking' like digestion and temperature control. Two sorts of cells make up the nervous system: neurons and glial cells. Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. Information travels along neurons as electrical signals – nerve impulses. These signals are passed to the next neuron in the chain at special sites known as synapses. There are ten times as many glial cells than neurons. Glial cells do not actually conduct electrical impulses, they look after the structure and maintenance of the brain. All neurons have the same basic parts. The 'control centre' of the cell is known as the cell body. The axon (nerve fibre) transmits electrical signals from the cell body. The dendrites are branching fibres that receive electrical signals from other neurons. The shape of a neuron is determined by the job it does. The axons of some neurons are shorter than 1 millimetre, while axons that carry signals from the spinal cord to the foot may be as long as a metre. I've Googled these..Now read..

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you guys are saying the first is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the help :)
