What are the 4 main functions of PNS?
- Control autonomic body functions.
- Control motor movements.

Where is the brain stem located?
The brain stem is located on the lower part of the brain.
100
Where is the cerebrum located?
In the skull.
100
Where is the spinal cord located?
200
Whats the function of the peripheral nerves?
The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord. These nerves form the communication network between the CNS and the body parts.
200
What's the main function of PNS?
the main function of PNS is to send messages to the brain
200
What sense is the most important in the peripheral nervous system
atomic system
200
What is one of the parts of the brain stem?
The midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
200
What is one of the three main parts of the spinal cord?
The cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine.
300
Is the spinal cord CNS or PNS?
The spinal cord is an extension of the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord.
300
Daily Double - what are the 3 differences between the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system?
The central nervous system (CNS) includes the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system includes all of the nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord and extend to other parts of the body, including muscles and organs.
300
What is gray matter made of?
Gray matter is made up of neuronal bodies, axon endings, and dendrites.
300
Daily Double!- Name at least three things the brain stem controls
The brain stem controls eye movements, facial sensations, hearing, balance, breathing, heart rhythm, blood rate, and swallowing.
300
What is the spinal cord made of?
Nerves.
400
How do the peripheral and central nervous systems work together?
Sensory: Connects the brain and spinal cord to your skin and allow you to feel pain and other sensations.
400
How many nerves are in the peripheral nervous system?
It is made up of 31 pairs of nerves coming out of the spinal column openings (spinal nerves) and 12 pairs of nerves coming out of the opening in the skull (cranial nerves).
400
What are the parts of a neuron?
Axon, Dendrite, and the Cell Body.
400
Name one thing people who damage their cerebellum have trouble doing
People who damage their cerebellum have trouble reaching for objects, or tapping their fingers repeatedly to a beat, either tapping too soon or too late.
400
What is the spinal cord responsible for?
Movements/functions, reporting senses to the brain, and managing reflexes
500
What's the difference between the peripheral and central nervous systems?
The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body.
500
How are the central nervous and the peripheral nervous system connected?
The central and peripheral nervous systems are directly connected by nerves and by the spinal cord
500
What is the cerebellum made of?
The cerebellum is made of gray and white matter.
500
What are 2 things the cerebrum control?
sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, language, behavior/personality, movement, learning/logic/reasoning.

What is one way to survive without a spinal cord?
Either a ventilator or a cardiac pacemaker.
