B?

pooja195 (pooja195):

"is responsible for a variety of functions including receiving and processing sensory information, thinking, perceiving, producing and understanding language, and controlling motor function. The forebrain contains structures such as the thalamus and hypothalamus which are responsible for such functions as motor control, relaying sensory information, and controlling autonomic functions. It also contains the largest part of the brain, the cerebrum. Most of the actual information processing in the brain takes place in the cerebral cortex." http://biology.about.com/od/organsystems/ss/central-nervous-system.htm B is correct it seems more relevant.

Zander is trying to determine the correct answer on a multiple-choice test. He has eliminated two of the four answer options because they do not fit the question, and now he is trying to recall what he knows about the question. Which two parts of Zander’s brain are working to perform these operations? hippocampus and hypothalamus hippocampus and cerebrum cerebrum and cerebellum cerebellum and hypothalamus

C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually i think B

pooja195 (pooja195):

B is right.

Saul makes the analogy that the body is like a school. Which is the best analogy for the central nervous system? the cafeteria the students the principal the buses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Students?

pooja195 (pooja195):

What led you to think that students is the answer ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

the central nervous system is what controls everything right? do the students control anything?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh.. xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The spinal cord is made up of the pons and the medulla. the brain and the brain stem. white and gray matter. gray matter only.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

lol spinal cord is in the spine right? is your brain in your spine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont they connect or somethin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct pons send messages up n down the spinal cord

The central nervous system (CNS) contains a number of components that perform specific functions within the body. Some functions, such as breathing, swallowing, and blood circulation, are involuntary, or done without conscious control. Which part of the CNS is responsible for these functions? cerebrum hippocampus cerebellum brain stem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/96tewu cerebrum cerebellum hypothalamus thalamus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the main difference between the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)? The CNS involves the brain and spinal cord, and the PNS involves the body nerves. The CNS involves the body nerves, and the PNS involves the brain and spinal cord. The CNS involves sensory neurons, and the PNS involves motor neurons. The CNS involves motor neurons, and the PNS involves sensory neurons.

pooja195 (pooja195):

Is this a test?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a pre test before the actual test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

pooja195 (pooja195):

If I'm helping you on it...will it be an accurate measure of what YOU know? And what you don't know? Will it help you learn what you need to study?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ive been putting in my input and i needed someone to tell me why it was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you're that person

pooja195 (pooja195):

Alright. How many more questions do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 1 more now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why are functional MRIs useful to doctors? They can ease pain in patients. They can reduce tumors in patients. They show which parts of the brain are involved in specific activities. They distinguish between the possible causes of a symptom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

pooja195 (pooja195):

The previous one A is incorrect

pooja195 (pooja195):

"CNS is brain and spinal cord. PNS are the sensory and motor neurons. The PNS breaks down further into the autonomic and the sensory-somatic nervous system. The autonomic breaks down further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is very complex but to answer your question when you touch a hot stove sensory neurons (PNS) send a message to the brain (CNS) and the brain process that the hand is being injured and reacts by sending motor neurons (PNS) to tell the hand to pull away." https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071027221323AA500Yc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought CNS went wit the spinal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it. why is it not A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i only have 2 more minutes for this quiz

pooja195 (pooja195):

Im talking about this one What is the main difference between the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)? The CNS involves the brain and spinal cord, and the PNS involves the body nerves. The CNS involves the body nerves, and the PNS involves the brain and spinal cord. The CNS involves sensory neurons, and the PNS involves motor neurons. The CNS involves motor neurons, and the PNS involves sensory neurons.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i think its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but u told me it was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can go back and change the answer

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok. Why are functional MRIs useful to doctors? They can ease pain in patients. They can reduce tumors in patients. They show which parts of the brain are involved in specific activities. They distinguish between the possible causes of a symptom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what about that other one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is it not A

pooja195 (pooja195):

Did you read this? "CNS is brain and spinal cord. PNS are the sensory and motor neurons. The PNS breaks down further into the autonomic and the sensory-somatic nervous system. The autonomic breaks down further into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is very complex but to answer your question when you touch a hot stove sensory neurons (PNS) send a message to the brain (CNS) and the brain process that the hand is being injured and reacts by sending motor neurons (PNS) to tell the hand to pull away."
