Unit Test Nervous System 14.1

This document contains an biology test with questions about the nervous system. It asks students to complete sentences about the central and peripheral nervous systems. It also asks students to define terms related to reflex actions like sensitivity, synapse, and reflex action. Questions are asked about the difference between voluntary and involuntary actions and examples of each. Students are tasked with labeling parts of the spinal cord and completing sentences about neurons, grey matter, and neurotransmitters. Diagrams of neurons and reflex arcs must be labeled and completed. The final question describes the process of an impulse triggering the release and diffusion of neurotransmitters across the synaptic gap.

Synapse Grey Arc Relay Motor Sensory

Effectors Neurotransmitter

In a reflex ___________ nerve impulses are transmitted to the spinal cord by

______________ neurons. Inside the _________matter of the spinal cord the

impulses are passed on to _____________ neurons. The impulses leave the spinal cord

along ____________ neurons to go to ____________. There is a gap between two

7. Complete the flow chart of reflex arc. [3 marks]

8. Describe how an impulse triggers the release of a neurotransmitter from vesicles into
the synaptic gap and how the neurotransmitter diffuses across to bind with receptor
molecules, in the membrane of the neurone after the synaptic gap, causing the impulse
to continue. [5 marks]
