Question 7

What is a midsagittal section of the brain?

Answer 7

A section of the brain produced by dividing the brain into left and right halves.

Question 8

What is a lemniscus?

Answer 8

A bundle of myelinated axons within the central nervous system

Question 9

What is the difference in function between white and gray matter?

Answer 9

White matter consists of myelinated axons that convey information among parts of the nervous system. Gray matter consists of neuronal cell bodies that function in signaling and information integration.

Question 10

What is the function of the peripheral nervous system?

Answer 10

Conveys information from sensory receptors into the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and glands.
