what is the function of the basal ganglia located in the limbic system?

it controls movement

it receives and processes all sensory information

it records and stores emotionally significant events

it controls motivated and emotional behaviour

8.

what do the motor nerves in the spinal cord transmit?

information both ways between the body and the brain

information from the brain to the body

information from the body to the brain

What is the overall goal of the peripheral nervous system?

to regulate automatic behaviours such as heart rate and blood pressure

to both conserve and mobilise bodily resources

homeostasis

to control voluntary skeletal muscles and sensory receptors

13.

1 point

what does the hypothalamus do?

control movement

receive and process all sensory information

regulate motivated behaviour

regulate motivated and emotional behaviour

14.

1 point

What is the main goal of the para-sympathetic nervous system?

to control voluntary skeletal muscles and sensory receptors

to conserve bodily resources

the regulate automatic behaviours

to mobilise bodily resources
