3. List the 2 parts of the nervous system.
4. How are the parts of the central nervous system protected?
, 5. Collections of cell bodies inside the central nervous system are called
, and the collection of nerve axons in the central nervous
system are called .
6. What is included in the peripheral nervous system?
7. Collections of cell bodies inside the peripheral nervous system are

organs via the afferent division and then relays signals or impulses
from the central nervous system to muscles and glands via the motor
or efferent division.
10. somatic and autonomic
11. The somatic system nerves control skeletal muscles, skin, and joints.
The autonomic system nerves control the glands and smooth muscles
of the internal organs and are not generally under conscious control
12. sympathetic and parasympathetic
13. activates and prepares the body for vigorous muscular activity, stress,
and emergencies
14. lowers activity, operates during normal situations, permits digestion,
and conserves energy
