The central nervous system is made up of mainly the brain and the spinal cord while the peripheral nervous system is divided into two types which are sensory and motor neurons. The somatic nervous system is associated with voluntary nerves while the autonomic nervous system is also known as involuntary nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system increases or speeds up a process while the parasympathetic nervous system decreases or slows down a process.

Answer:

The correct match would be

1. central - the brain and spinal cord  

2. peripheral - sensory and motor neurons  

3. somatic - voluntary nerves  

4. autonomic - involuntary nerves

5. sympathetic - increases or speeds up a process

6. parasympathetic - decreases or slows down a process

The nervous system can be broadly classified into two categories:

  1. Central nervous system (CNS): It includes brain and spinal cord and is mainly involved in processing the stimulus and generating the response accordingly.
  2. Peripheral nervous system (PNS): It includes motor and sensory neurons which connect the body with CNS. Sensory neurons transport stimulus from receptors to the CNS and motor neurons transport response signals from CNS to the muscle or gland.

PNS can be further classified into three categories:

  • Somatic nervous system: It mainly controls the voluntary movements of the body.
  • Autonomic nervous system: It mainly controls the involuntary movements. It has two sub-parts; sympathetic nervous system (increases the heart rate, breathing rate et cetera during fight and flight conditions) and parasympathetic nervous system (decreases the speed of a process and is activated during the relaxed state).
  • Enteric nervous system: It mainly regulates the function of the gastrointestinal system.

Each daughter cell resulting from mitotic cell division has exactly the same genetic composition. Select one: True False
sveta [45]

Answer: True

Explanation: The importance of mitotic cell division is to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical. The genetic materials of the parent cell are arranged and moved towards the two spindle poles with the help of the spindles so that there will be an even distribution of the parent cell's genetic materials between the resulting two daughter cells.

How is the energy of a nuclear reactor converted to electricity? The nuclear reactions produce electrical energy directly. Heat
timofeeve [1]

Nuclear power plants use the nuclear fission reaction to release energy and generate electricity through energy conversion. Take the pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant as an example to illustrate its working principle.

In the pressurized water reactor, a large amount of heat is generated by the self-sustaining chain fission reaction of the nuclear fuel nucleus. The coolant (also called the heat carrier) brings the heat in the reactor to the steam generator and transfers the heat to the working medium, water. The main circulation pump then delivers the coolant back to the reactor for recycling, thereby forming a circuit called the first circuit. This process is also the energy conversion process of nuclear fission energy converted into thermal energy.

The working medium on the secondary side of the U-tube outside the steam generator is vaporized by heat to form steam. The steam enters the steam turbine to expand work, and converts the heat energy released by the steam enthalpy into the mechanical energy of the rotor of the steam turbine. This process is called thermal energy conversion to mechanical energy. The energy conversion process. The steam that has done work is condensed into condensed water in the condenser and returned to the steam generator to form another circulation loop called the second loop. This process is called the energy conversion process of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The rotating rotor of the steam turbine directly drives the rotor of the generator to rotate, so that the generator emits electric energy, which is an energy conversion process that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
