3. Slows heart rate.
4. Promotes digestion.
5. Balances with sympathetic system.

Question 2

What is the role of the sympathetic system

Answer 2

1. Prepares body for action.
2. “Fight or flight” response.
3. Increases heart rate.
4. Speeds up breathing.
5. Slows digestion.

Question 3

What are sensory nerves

Answer 3

A sensory nerve is a type of nerve that carries information from your senses to your brain/ CNS

Question 4

What are myelin sheaths

Answer 4

Myelin sheaths are like protective coverings around nerve fibers. They help speed up the transmission of electrical signals in our nervous system.

Question 5

What’s are myelinated nerves

Answer 5

Myelinated nerves are nerves that have a myelin sheath, which is a protective covering around the nerve fibers. This sheath helps in speeding up the transmission of electrical signals in our nervous system.

Question 6

Where is the CNS (central nervous system) and what does it do

Answer 6

The CNS is located the brain and spinal cord and it co ordinates all voluntary and in voluntary actions

Question 7

What is the Parasympathetic nervous system

Answer 7

The PNS puts the body at rest by slowing digestion and heart rate and conserving energy

Question 8

What is the somatic nervous system

Answer 8

The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements and senses from our external environment.

Question 9

What is the automatic nervous system

Answer 9

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary bodily functions

Question 10

What are neurones

Answer 10

They receive and send to stimuli and take action by sending electrical impulses

Question 11

What are the 3 types of neurones

Answer 11

Sensory

Motor

Associated( links the 2 and aids with message sending of neurones)

Question 12

What is the motor neurone

Answer 12

The motor neurone is a neurone that carries messages from central nervous system (CNS) to tissues to generate action

Question 13

What are synapses

Answer 13

They allow neurotransmitters to transmit electrical signal from one neurone to the next via the synapse

Question 14

What are the 2 types of nervous tissue

Answer 14

Neurons

Neuroglia

Question 15

What is a neuroglia

Answer 15

They help keep the nerves functioning properly by giving structural support and insulation to neuron

Question 16

What are 3 symptoms of parkinson disease

Answer 16

Forgetfulness,muscle stiffness, and slow movement.

Question 17

Name a treatment for parkinsons disease

Answer 17

Physiotherapy to improve co ordination

Question 18

What is multiple sclerosis

Answer 18

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-term condition that causes the immune system to attack the myelin shealth on the nerves in the brain and spinal cord.

Question 19

Name 3 symptoms of multiple sclerosis

Answer 19

fatigue, difficulty walking or problems with coordination

Question 20

Name the treatment for multiple sclerosis

Answer 20

Physiotherapy exercises to improve co ordination

Question 21

What is the peripheral nervous system

Answer 21

The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to the rest of your body and helps transmit signals between your brain and your muscles, organs, and other tissues.
