CNS and ANS

Question 1

The fluid in your central nervous system that cushions the brain and spinal cord and provides some nourishment.

Answer 1

Cerebrospinal fluid

Question 2

The midbrain, pons, and madulla oblongata make up this general region of the brain, which regulates basic, vital, involuntary body functions.

Answer 2

Brain Stem

Question 3

The set of neurons in the ANS that are distal to the ganglia, are relatively long in the sympathetic division, and relatively short in the parasympathetic.

Answer 3

Postganglionic fiber

Question 4

In the autonomic division, this place where neurons meet is located close to the spinal cord to ensure excitatory messages can be quickly spread through the body

Answer 4

Sympathetic ganglia

Question 5

The division that prepares your body for fight or flight.

Answer 5

Sympathetic division

Question 6

The division that calms the body.

Answer 6

Parasympathetic divison

Question 7

The branch of the peripheral nervous systems that carries signals to internal organs, smooth and cardiac muscles, and glands.

Answer 7

ANS

Question 8

The place where neurons meet is located close to the effector organs so that messages tend to be very specific to that organ.

Answer 8

Parasympathetic ganglia

Question 9

The set of neurons in the ANS that are distal to the ganglia, are relatively long in the sympathetic division, and relatively short in the parasympathetic.

Answer 9

Postganglionic fibers

Question 10

The set of neurons in the ANS that are proximal to the ganglia, are relatively short in the short in the sympathetic division and relatively long in the parasympathetic.

Answer 10

Preganglionic fibers
