Question
Which association is NOT true in regard to the divisions of the nervous system?
The somatic portion includes the autonomic nervous system
The functional subdivisions have components in both the central and peripheral nervous system
Two major cell types are neurons and glia
Basal ganglia of the telencephalon really should be called the basal nuclei
All choices are FALSE
a.The somatic portion includes the autonomic nervous system
b.The functional subdivisions have components in both the central and peripheral nervous system
c.Two major cell types are neurons and glia
d.Basal ganglia of the telencephalon really should be called the basal nuclei
e.All choices are FALSE
Explanation / Answer
a. The somatic portion includes the autonomic nervous system - FALSE (somatic nervous system is a branch of peripheral nervous system that controls voluntary functions. The autonomic branch of PNS (sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system) controls teh involuntary visceral functions.)
The remaining options are true. Nerovus system contains sensory and motor neurons that run from PNS to CNS and CNS to PNS respectively.
Neurons and glia are the two major cell types of central nervous system, glia are the supporting cells of neurons.
Clusters of neurons present in outside the CNS are called "ganglia," within the CNS they are called "nuclei." Actually, clusters present within the telencephalon should be called as basal nuclei, instead of basal ganglia.
