QuestionAnswer
The ventral rami of most spinal nerves subdivide to form complex networks called plexuses
Spinal cord tracts provide conduction paths to and from the brain. The tracts that conduct sensory impulses down the cord from the brain are called _____ tracts. descending
The two efferent divisions of the autonomic nervous system are the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
How many pairs of spinal nerves are connected to the spinal cord? 31
Dendrites and cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic neurons are located in the gray matter of the thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord.
The dorsal root of each spinal nerve is easily recognized as a swelling called the dorsal root ganglion.
The inner protective covering of the brain is called the meninges
The three divisions of the brain that make up the brainstem are the medulla oblongata, midbrain, and pons.
The enteric nervous system is made up of a complex network of nerve plexuses that control the visceral effectors in the intestinal wall
The large fluid-filled spaces within the brain are called the ventricles
A subdivision of the nervous system that regulates involuntary effectors is the _____ nervous system. autonomic
Formation of the cerebrospinal fluid occurs in the choroid plexus.
Individual nerves that emerge from the _____ plexus innervate the lower part of the shoulder and the entire arm. brachial
The lower end of the spinal cord, with its attached spinal nerve roots, gives the appearance of a horse’s tail called the cauda equina
If you trace the axon inside the sympathetic chain ganglion, the preganglionic fiber branches along which pathway? all of the above. synapses with a sympathetic postganglionic neuron, sends ascending or descending branches through the sympathetic trunk to synapse with postganglionic neurons in other chain ganglia, passes through one or more ganglia without synapsing
The brainstem does not include the: cerebellum
Which of the following might occur from the stimulation of parasympathetic fibers? Increased peristalsis in the digestive tract
All cell bodies of the autonomic nervous system are located within the CNS. False
Nerve fibers of the spinothalamic tract are: sensory
Several “vital centers” are located in the: medulla
The pyramids are formed in the: medulla
Which part of the vertebral column has one more pair of nerves coming from it than it has vertebrae? Cervical
Parasympathetic neuron cell bodies are located in: nuclei of the brainstem and the lateral gray columns of the sacral cord.
If you were to damage some of the preganglionic fibers that enter the celiac ganglion, what effect would this have on sympathetic stimulation? Hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla may not reach the various sympathetic effectors, thus delaying the effects of sympathetic stimulation.
The peripheral nervous system includes only cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and their branches.
The nerve commonly called the vagus nerve is the _____ cranial. tenth
The layer of the meninges that serves as the inner periosteum of the cranial bone is the: dura mater.
The brain has _____ major divisions. 6
Which part of the brain releases the hormone melatonin? Pineal gland
Which of the following is not true of the lateral corticospinal tract fibers? Most inhibit the lower motor neuron.
Impulses from which system play a part in arousing or alerting the cerebrum? Reticular activating system
Conduction to autonomic effectors requires only one efferent neuron. False
Which of the following is not a plexus of the spinal nerves? Thoracic
Sensory neurons can operate in autonomic reflex arcs. True
There are _____ ventricles in the brain. 4
All of the following cranial nerves have a functional classification of motor except: vestibulocochlear
The innermost layer of the meninges is the: pia mater.
Spinal nerves are _____ fibers. motor and sensory
Which of the following cranial nerves is responsible for movements of the tongue? Hypoglossal
The cranial nerve that arises from the spinal cord is the: accessory
The lumbar plexus gives rise to the _____ nerve. femoral
The areas specializing in language functions are found in the left cerebral hemisphere in: about 90% of the population.
The spinal nerves are connected to the spinal cord and consist of _____ pairs. 31
Beta receptors: bind norepinephrine.
The phrenic nerve is found in the _____ plexus. cervical
Which plexus contains nerves that innervate the lower part of the shoulder and the entire arm? Brachial
The cervical plexus: All of the above are correct. is found deep in the neck. Is formed by the ventral rami of the first four cervical nerves and part of C5. Includes the phrenic nerve.
Effectors that have single innervation by the autonomic nervous system are innervated only by the parasympathetic division. False
The autonomic nervous system includes only efferent neurons. False
Which is not true about sympathetic postganglionic neurons? They produce acetylcholine.
Axon terminals that secrete acetylcholine are called cholinergic terminals. True
Cerebrospinal fluid is found in all of the following except the: subdural space.
Some parasympathetic postganglionic neurons have their cell bodies in nuclei in the brainstem. False
Visceral effectors are innervated by sympathetic fibers. True
A patient complains of numbness in the skin of the buttocks and the posterior surface of the thigh and leg. The spinal nerve or peripheral branch most likely involved with this condition is the _____ plexus. coccygeal
“Fight-or-flight” physiological changes include all of the following except: constriction of respiratory airways.
The part(s) of the cerebrum associated with anger, fear, and sorrow is (are) the: limbic system.
The main divisions of the central nervous system are the: brain and spinal cord.
The sensory cranial nerves include only the: olfactory, optic, and vestibulocochlear.
All of the following are characteristics of sympathetic preganglionic neurons except: they have long fibers from CNS to ganglion.
