Here are the solutions to the questions. 2. Match the descriptions in the table below with the terms in the list. 1. The long fiber that carries the nerve impulses. → B. Axon 2. A bundle of axons. → J. Nerve 3. The connection between adjacent neurons. → A. Synapse 4. The chemical secreted into the gap between neurons at a synapse. → K. Neurotransmitter 5. A rapid automatic response to a stimulus. → G. Reflex 6. The covering of fatty material that speeds up the passage of nerve impulses. → C. Myelin sheath 7. The structure at the end of an axon that produces neurotransmitters to transmit the nerve impulse across the synapse. → L. Axon terminal 8. The high speed signals that pass along the axons of nerve cells. → D. Nerve impulse 9. The branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell. → I. Dendrite 10. The sense organ or cells that receive stimuli from within and outside the body. → E. Sense receptor 11. The reaction to a stimulus by a muscle or gland. → F. Response 12. The part of the nerve cell containing the nucleus. → H. Cell body Indicate whether the following parts of the nervous system are part of the Central Nervous System (CNS) or the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). Brain: CNS Autonomic nervous system: PNS Spinal nerves: PNS Spinal cord: CNS Cranial nerves: PNS Label and color the 3 major parts of the brain. Cerebrum - Red: This is the large, convoluted upper part of the brain. Cerebellum - Blue: This is the smaller, wrinkled structure located at the back and base of the cerebrum. Brain Stem - Yellow: This is the stalk-like structure extending downwards from the base of the brain, connecting to the spinal cord.
