Question

Which of the following is not a function of the nervous system?
A) receive sensory input
B) cushion and protect soft tissue
C) perform information processing
D) perform integration
E) generate motor output

Accepted Answer

While the nervous system does provide some cushioning for the brain and spinal cord through cerebrospinal fluid, its primary functions are to receive sensory input, perform information processing, perform integration, and generate motor output. Protective functions for soft tissue are carried out by other systems, such as the skeletal or integumentary systems.
