Your hand touches the surface of a hot stove. Without thinking, you immediately pull your hand away. The correct order of the components of the reflex arc that pulls your hand away is: a. sensory receptors → sensory neurons → motor neurons → interneurons → effectors b. effectors → sensory neurons → brain → motor neurons → sensory receptors c. motor neurons → effectors → brain → sensory neurons → interneurons d. sensory receptors → sensory neurons → interneurons → motor neurons → effectors

Which type of synapse is better suited for vision and hearing, and why?A. Metabotropic synapses because they produce quick, brief effectsB. Metabotropic synapses because they produce longerlasting effectsC. Ionotropic synapses because they produce quick, brief effectsD. Ionotropic synapses because they produce longerlasting effects
Sometimes you have lighting fast reflexes to protect yourself from a further dangerous situation – burning your hand, stepping on a nail or broken glass, etc. Okay, the situation or stimulus might not always we dangerous such as when the doctor checks your patellar reflex with their hand or rubber mallet. Explain the neurons involved in a reflex arc and how they trigger a reflex action in response to a stimulus.
How do brainstem upper motor neurons regulate movement? a. This system utilizes a central pattern generator to regulate repetitive and rhythmic movements. b. This system is activated when you need to modify your movement depending on environmental conditions, such as adjusting to the weight and speed of an object. c. This system permits rapid motor reactions to unexpected changes in the environment. d. This system is activated when you perform a skilled movement, such as completing an expert golf swing or performing a gymnastics routine. e. This system permits movement initiation from a stationary position, such as standing up from a sitting position
You reach for your smartphone and then put it down. You reach for it again but different neurons were activated for the same movement. This is an example of _________. A.neuroplasticity B.allostasis C.saltatory conduction D.degeneracy
Comparing MRI and fMRI, which one(s) measure the responses of brain chemicals to a magnetic field? Which one(s) show which brain areas are most active at the moment? a.

Only MRI shows which brain areas are most active at the moment. c. Both measure responses of brain chemicals to a magnetic field. Only fMRI shows which brain areas are most active at the moment. d. Both measure responses of brain chemicals to a magnetic field. Both show which brain areas are most active at the moment.
Which of the following brain regions is not correctly matched to itsfunction?a. The medulla oblongata regulates heartbeat, breathing, and bloodpressure.b. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary muscle movements.c. The thalamus secretes melatonin, which regulates daily bodyrhythms.d. The midbrain acts as a refl ex center for visual, auditory, andtactile responses.
You accidentally place your hand on a hot surface. You immediately pull your hand away and then feel the burning sensation and pain from the burn you just received. Explain why, based on the structure of the nervous system, it takes longer to feel the pain than it does to move your hand away from the dangerous stimulus
Fill in the blank: A reflex arc begins with the stimulation of a _______________________ at the end of a sensory neuron.
Emergency room doctors often shine a light into the eyes of patients with head injuries to test their pupillary reflex.
