Match the following: 1. Reflex a. Receptor 2. Stimulus b. Spinal cord 3. Control of voluntary action c. Association between axon and dendrite 4. Membranes around the brain d. Cerebellum 5. Synapse e. Meninges

1 -b The reflex arc transmits the sensory information via the spinal cord from the receptor to the effector. 2 -a The receptor is a specialised cell that detects a stimulus. The job of the receptor is to convert the stimulus into electrical signals in nerve cells. 3 -d The cerebellum is the part of the hindbrain that coordinates the voluntary movements of skeletal muscles as well as posture, balance, and equilibrium. 4 -e The meninges are the multilayered membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord and separate them from the walls of their bony cases, which are the skull and vertebral column. 5 -c A synapse is the close junction where the axon end of one neuron and the dendrites of the other are closely connected to facilitate the transmission of information. 1.
