Answers Key

Multiple Choice: 1. d 2. c 3. c 4. c 5. c

True/False: 1. True 2. False 3. False 4. True 5. True

Fill in the Blank: 1. Autonomic 2. Central 3. Motor 4. Peripheral 5. Medulla

Short Answer: 1. The purpose of the nervous system is to coordinate the body's activities by transmitting signals between different parts of the body and the brain. 2. The two main types of neurons are sensory neurons and motor neurons. 3. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary movements, such as breathing, digestion, and heart rate. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for controlling voluntary movements, such as walking and talking. 4. The role of the motor neurons is to carry signals from the brain to the muscles, causing them to contract and move. 5. The function of the medulla oblongata is to connect the brain to the spinal cord, allowing signals to be transmitted between the two.
