35
How many sections is the spinal cord made of
two
36
What are the 2 sections of the spine
Spinal cord, vertebrae
37
What do the vertebrae do
Protect spinal cord
38
Reflex arc
Certain movements are involuntary
39
What are the parts of the reflex arc
``` Receptor Sensory neuron Interneuron Motor neuron Affected neurons ```
40
Receptor
Anything that can perceive the surrounding environment
41
Does the PNS link with the CNS
Yes
42
How many pairs of nerves are there in the PNS
43 pairs
43
What are cranial nerves
PNS nerves that come out of brain (12)
44
What are many nerves in the PNS under control of
Conscious mind
45
Aotonomic nervous system
Controls involuntary movements | Nerves are on pairs and are antagistic
46
Antagistic
Work against each other
47
Is the motor nervous system automatic
No it is not automatic (somatic)
