NCLEX Questions for Neurological System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following are the parts of neurons?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and consist of three main parts: dendrites, axons, and the cell body. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons, the cell body contains the nucleus and organelles, and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or target cells. These components work together to facilitate communication within the nervous system, enabling sensory perception, motor control, and cognitive functions.
Question 2 of 5
The job of the Nervous System is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nervous system performs three primary functions: receiving sensory input, integrating and processing this input, and triggering motor responses. Sensory input involves detecting stimuli from the environment or within the body. Integration occurs in the brain and spinal cord, where information is processed. Motor output involves sending signals to muscles or glands to produce a response. Therefore, the nervous system's job encompasses all these functions, making 'All of the above' the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into ________ lobes, ________ of which have the same name as the bone over them.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into four lobes: the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Three of these lobes (frontal, parietal, and temporal) share their names with the bones of the skull that overlie them. The occipital lobe is named after the occipital bone. Therefore, four, three is the correct answer as it accurately describes the division and naming of the cerebral lobes.
