In this assignment, you will use your knowledge of the central nervous system to answer a few questions. You then will explore the parts of the brain and use the information you learn to answer a few more questions.Explain the functions of the nervous system.
The nervous system is responsible for processing information from receptors that detect changes in the environment and sending out appropriate responses to react to those changes. It coordinates all systems of the body and acts as an information highway for sending and receiving messages, which helps maintain homeostasis for the body.

Explain the functions of the spinal cord.

Click on the image that shows the structures of the brain and explore the functions, then answer the questions.What is the function of the medulla oblongata?
The medulla oblongata regulates involuntary body functions, such as breathing and blood circulation.
You are studying for a test, and trying to figure out how to answer some of the questions your teacher gave you. Explain how your cerebrum is helping you.
My cerebrum is responsible for complex mental activities such as learning, reasoning, and logical problem solving, which are necessary to understand and answer test questions. It also controls voluntary activities, allowing me to perform the physical tasks of reading and writing. Additionally, it handles verbal processing and sensing information to help me interpret the questions.
