question
Compare the anatomy of the sympathetic division with that of the parasympathetic division. (Module 14.2B) -
answer
In the SNS, axons emerge from the thoracic and lumbar segments of the spinal cord and innervate ganglia relatively close to the spinal cord. In the PNS, axons emerge from the brainstem and sacral segments of the spinal cord and innervate ganglia very close to or within the target organs.
question
Preganglionic fibers leave the CNS and then synapse on
answer
ganglionic neurons.
question
Reduction in heart rate and force of contraction is a response in which visceral reflex? -sexual arousal -vasomotor reflex -baroreceptor reflex -cardioacceleratory reflex
answer
baroreceptor reflex
question
In general, sympathetic preganglionic fibers are ________ and postganglionic fibers are ________. -long; short -short; short -short; long -long; long
answer
short; long
question
Define dual innervation. (Module 14.8A) -Dual innervation means that a given body system receives instructions from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS. -Dual innervation means that a given body system has twice the amount of neural stimulation needed to produce an action. -Dual innervation means that a given body system sends both sensory impulses and receives motor commands. -Dual innervation means that a given body system receives instructions from both the central and peripheral nervous systems. -Dual innervation means that sensory neurons and motor neurons are present in the tissue.
answer
Dual innervation means that a given body system receives instructions from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS.
question
Baroreceptors are not found in the lungs. aorta. digestive tract. colon. oral cavity.
answer
oral cavity.
question
Which of the following is a characteristic of the enteric nervous system? -The ENS contains around one million neurons. -It is found in the walls of the heart -All of the neurotransmitters found in the brain are found in the ENS. -Many complex visceral reflexes of the ENS are initiated and coordinated through the CNS.
answer
it has all of the neurotransmitters found in the brain
question
A visceral motor neuron whose cell body is within the CNS is called a(n) ________ neuron. lower motor postganglionic upper motor somatomotor preganglionic
answer
preganglionic
question
Which of the following is an effect of parasympathetic activation? -increased activity in the cardiovascular and respiratory centers of the pons and medulla oblongata -release of lipids by adipose tissues -acceleration of glycogen breakdown in liver cells -constriction of pupils
answer
constriction of pupils
question
Nicotinic receptors
answer
open chemically gated sodium ion channels.

answer
chain
question
Which cranial nerve provides roughly 75 percent of all parasympathetic outflow?
answer
CN X
question
Which of the following is an example of a parasympathetic visceral reflex?
answer
defecation reflex
question
In general, parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are ________ and postganglionic fibers are ________.
answer
long; short
question
Regarding ANS motor control, which CNS structure(s) is/are involved in emotions, memory, and behavior?
answer
limbic system
question
Activated nicotinic receptors __________. Activated nicotinic receptors __________. produce longer-lasting effects than other types of cholinergic receptors open chemically-gated channels in the postsynaptic membrane involve G proteins are stimulated by muscarine
answer
open chemically-gated channels in the postsynaptic membrane
question
Identify two major divisions of the ANS. (Module 14.2A) A) somatic division and sympathetic division B) somatic division and parasympathetic division C) enteric division and the central division D) central division and sympathetic division E) sympathetic division and parasympathetic division
answer
sympathetic division and parasympathetic division
question
Which statement is true regarding the ANS? -There is a single lower motor neuron in the autonomic centers of the ANS. -Ganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia control skeletal muscles. -The cell bodies of the upper motor neurons lie within the nuclei of the brain or at the primary motor cortex. -The integrative centers for autonomic activity are located in the hypothalamus.
answer
The integrative centers for autonomic activity are located in the hypothalamus.
question
What neurotransmitter is released by all parasympathetic neurons? (Module 14.5B)
answer
acetylcholine
question
Chemoreceptors __________.
answer
are present in the carotid bodies
question
Preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system are located in the
answer
lateral gray horns of segments T1 to L2 of the spinal cord.
question
Muscarinic receptors
answer
are normally activated by acetylcholine.
question
Define visceral reflex. (Module 14.9A)
answer
A visceral reflex is an autonomic reflex initiated in the viscera. It can be modified, facilitated, or inhibited by higher centers, especially those in the hypothalamus.
question
When comparing the SNS and ANS, which of the following are unique to the ANS?
answer
preganglionic neurons
question
Which division of the ANS is responsible for the physiological changes you experience when startled by a loud noise? (Module 14.2D)
answer
sympathetic division of the ANS
question
Define baroreceptors. Where are baroreceptors located within the body? (Module 14.10A)
answer
Baroreceptors are stretch receptors that detect changes in pressure. They are located along the digestive tract, within the walls of the urinary bladder, in the carotid and aortic sinuses, and in the lungs.
question
Which of the following is an effect of sympathetic activation?
answer
stimulation of the medial and lateral pathways associated with a general elevation in muscle tone
question
Most vital organs receive ________ innervation. That is, they receive input from both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
answer
