| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| If the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal nerve were destroyed, a person would lose _____ related to that pathway. | sensory perception |
| Which is not true of the dorsal nerve root? | t is also called the posterior root. It includes the spinal ganglion. It includes sensory fibers. Correct! All of the above are true. |
| Which of the following statements is not true? | The major function of the parasympathetic division is to serve as an “emergency” system. |
| Somatic motor and autonomic pathways share all of the following characteristics except: | number of neurons between central nervous system (CNS) and effector. |
| Most effectors of the autonomic nervous system are dually innervated by sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. True or False | True |
| Impulses sent over which of the following tracts could result in voluntary movement, especially of the hands, fingers, feet, and toes of the opposite side? | Lateral corticospinal |
| Norepinephrine is liberated at: | most sympathetic postganglionic nerve endings. |
| Acetylcholine can stimulate _____ receptors. | nicotinic |
| Which of the following is not true of the knee jerk reflex? | It is a flexor reflex. |
| A mixed nerve is one that: | carries both sensory and motor fibers. |
| Tic douloureux is a painful neuralgia of the _____ nerve. | trigeminal |
| Normal infants will show the Babinski reflex up to the age of _____ years. | 1.5-2 |
| Which of the following is a description of the principle of autonomic antagonism as it relates to the autonomic nervous system? | If sympathetic impulses tend to stimulate an effector, parasympathetic impulses tend to inhibit it. |
| The knee jerk can be classified as a segmental reflex because: | impulses that mediate it enter and leave the same segment of the cord. |
| The cerebellum performs all of the following functions except: | controls cardiac function. |
| Which of the following is not associated with the oculomotor nerve? | Closing and opening of the eye (blink reflex) |
| The spinal tract that is located in the side of the cord, originates in the brain, and terminates in the spinal cord is the _____ tract. | lateral corticospinal |
| Cerebrospinal fluid circulates through the ventricles, into the central canal and _____, and is absorbed back into the blood. | subarachnoid space |
| Which of the following is a correct statement? | There are 5 lumbar nerve pairs. |
| How does a dually innervated autonomic effector differ from a singly innervated autonomic effector? | A dually innervated effector receives input from both sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways. A singly innervated autonomic effector receives input from only the sympathetic division. |
| Sympathetic responses generally have widespread effects on the body because: | preganglionic fibers synapse with several postsynaptic fibers. |
| The vomiting reflex is mediated by the: | medulla |
| The parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions always act with a cooperative influence, and through summation of the impulses, the effect can be increased. True or False | False |
| A child was frightened by a large dog. The pupils of the child’s eyes became dilated, and the heart and respiratory rates increased. These symptoms were caused by stimulation of: | the sympathetic nervous system. |
| Which is the only plexus that contains fibers from the thoracic region of the spinal cord? | Brachial |
| Once inside the sympathetic chain ganglion, the preganglionic fiber may: | synapse with a sympathetic postganglionic neuron. send ascending and/or descending branches through the sympathetic trunk to synapse with postganglionic neurons in other chain ganglia. pass through one or more ganglia without synapsing. Correct! |
| If the ventral nerve root of a spinal nerve were destroyed, a person would lose _____ related to that pathway. | willed movement |
| Propranolol is an example of a: | Beta Blocker, Drug used to treat irregular heartbeats, drug used to treat hypertension ( all of the above) |
| Impulses from the _____ play a part in arousing or alerting the cerebrum. | thalamus |
| Which of the following is not a function of the hypothalamus? | Regulation of motor activity |
| Damage to the _____ nerve could make the diaphragm unable to function. | phrenic |
| Nerves that innervate the floor of the pelvic cavity and some of the surrounding areas are found in the _____ plexus. | coccygeal |
| The preganglionic neurons of both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic divisions are cholinergic. True or False | True |
| Cerebrospinal fluid is formed by filtration of blood in the: | choroid plexuses. |
| Which of the following is not an example of sympathetic stimulation? | Constriction of the bronchioles |
| The part of the brain that can directly influence or inhibit the release of hormones from the pituitary is the: | hypothalamus |
| Which of the following is not true? | One bundle of nerve fibers (nerve roots) projects from each side of the spinal cord. |
| All of the following cranial nerves are involved in proprioception except the: | vagus |
| Audition is a function of the _____ lobe. | temporal |
| Afferent nerves or fibers are found only in the _____ nervous system. | Sensory and Autonomic |
| Nerve impulses over the _____ nerve cause increased peristalsis and decreased heart rate. | vagus |
| All of the following are examples of parasympathetic stimulation except: | increased heart rate. |
| Which is(are) the neurotransmitter(s) in a somatic motor pathway? | Acetylcholine |
| The cerebellum acts with the _____ to produce skilled movement. | cerebrum |
| The part of the brain that assists in the maintenance of balance is the: | cerebellum |
