2. What are the 2 structures that create the Central Nervous System? Peripheral Nervous System and the Central Nervous System 

3. What is the function of the Nervous System? The Nervous System collects information about the body’s internal and external environment, processes that information, and responds to it. 

4. What part of the brain is associated with emotion, behavior and memory? The Limbic System 

5. What are the 3 major parts of the brain, responsible for processing and relaying information? Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Brain Stem 

6. ________ experiences change many of the patterns of neuron connections in the brain. These new cells originate in regions associated with learning and memory Sensory 

7. This body system takes in oxygen, as well as exhausts CO 2 from the body Respiratory 

8. This body system incorporates the largest organ in the body. It also protects against infection Integumentary System 

9. The kidneys, bladder and ureters are apart of this body system Excretory System 

10. Supports the body and protects internal organs Skeletal System 

11. This body system controls growth, development and metabolism. Regulates hormones Endocrine System 

12. These receptors of the PNS creates movement of the muscles in response to a stimulus Motor receptors 

13. Stimulus  Sensory Receptors  ___________  CNS Sensory Neurons 

14. This sensory receptor is found in the eyes and responds to light Photoreceptors 

15. The ______________ regulates activities that are involuntary, or not under conscious control Autonomic Nervous System 

16. Thermoreceptors are found in these 2 areas of the body Skin and hypothalamus 

17. How many Cranial Nerves are there? 12 

18. What is the purpose in testing Cranial Nerves? To determine the area of the brain that has experienced trauma. By knowing this, it makes treatment easier to determine. 

19. Cranial Nerve VII, is tested by smiling, frowning and puffing out cheeks Facial 

20. Cranial Nerves go through openings in the skill and stimulate regions of the _______ and _______. Head and neck 

21. This nerve is responsible for lateral eye movement. Cranial Nerve VI Abducens 

22. This part of the neuron is the first receives the stimulus. Functions almost like “branches of a tree” Dendrites 

23. This structure of the neuron functions like “the brain” of the cell Nucleus 

24. Also known as the Soma Cell Body 

25. Acts as the insulator to the axon Myelin Sheath 

26. This structure of the neuron is the very end of the neuron. It is where the axon breaks into different branches Axon terminal 

27. What is the disease commonly associated with football players and soldiers, caused by continuous head trauma and leads to significant depression? Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
