The Nervous System

Question 4 • GA-Essentials of Healthcare

Which of the following statements are true?

Answer
A
The central nervous system is another name for the brain.
B
A sensory receptor is the ending of a sensory nerve.
C
A sensory nerve controls the movement of the body.
D
A sensory nerve receives information about the body’s environment.

Explanation

A sensory receptor detects a stimulus and may be a specialized ending of a sensory nerve, so B is true. Sensory nerves carry information about the body's surroundings toward the central nervous system, so D is true. The central nervous system includes both the brain and spinal cord, not just the brain, and sensory nerves do not control movement; motor nerves carry movement commands.
