Which target organ is NOT affected by the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)?

Once a preganglionic axon reaches a trunk ganglion, one of three things can happen to the axon. Which of the following is NOT one of these three things?

Which set of details correctly identifies a series of events in a sympathetic pathway?

Which receptor paring below is correct?

Which of the following target organs/systems is affected by the sympathetic nervous system but is NOT affected by the parasympathetic nervous system?

Which of the following is responsible for the overall integration of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)?

Which of the following does NOT describe the ANS?

Which of these effectors is NOT directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?

Autonomic ganglia are sites of synapse and information transmission from preganglionic to postganglionic neurons.

Where are ganglia of the parasympathetic division located?

Which of the following is mismatched?

The autonomic nervous system may cause activation or inhibition, depending on the division that is active and the target that is affected.

The sacral part of the parasympathetic division serves the pelvic organs and the distal half of the large intestine.

The sympathetic division innervates targets with nerves that all originate from the thoracolumbar region.

The secretions of the adrenal medulla act to supplement the effects of ________.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

The major anatomic difference in autonomic reflex arcs is that there are two sensory afferents.

Visceral reflexes include the reflexes that empty the bladder and the rectum.

Norepinephrine-releasing fibers are called cholinergic fibers.

Which of the following is characteristic of the parasympathetic division?

Parasympathetic

Sympathetic

Which is a uniquely sympathetic function?

Sympathetic division stimulation causes ________.

All visceral organs receive dual innervation from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS.

Thermoregulatory responses to increased heat are mediated by the sympathetic nervous division.

Because many of the same cardiac cells are innervated by both parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers, the influence of the two divisions on the heart is synergistic, meaning contraction is strongest when both divisions act together.
