A&P Module 4

QuestionAnswer
A patient who received a blow to the side of the skull exhibits the following signs and symptoms on that side of the face: he is unable to close hid eye, and the corner of his mouth droops. Which cranial nerve has been damaged? FACIAL NERVE
The patellar "knee jerk" reflex is an example of a _________ STRETCH REFLEX
Turns the eyeball laterally ABDUCENS NERVES
Formed by the union of a cranial and a spinal root. ASSCESSORY NERVE
The only cranial nerves to extend beyond the head and neck region are the vagus nerve. TRUE
Receptors for this nerve are located in eqithelium of the nasal cavity. OLFACTORY
The second cranial nerve forms a chiasma at the base of the brain for partial crossover of neural fibers. TRUE
Dermatomes are skin segments that relate to sensory innervation regions of the spinal nerves. TRUE
There are 41 pairs of spinal nerves. FALSE
Tests both upper and lower motor pathways. The sole of the foot is stimulated with a dull instrument. PLANTAR REFLEX
Helps to regulate blood pressure and digestion. VAGUS NERVE
Prevents muscle overstretching and maintains muscle tone. STRETCH REFLEX
Serves the senses of hearing and equilibrium. VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR
Produces muscle relaxation and lengthening in response to tension: the contracting muscle relaxes as its antagonist is activated. GOLGI TENDON
Consists of an ipsilateral withdrawal reflex and a contralateral extensor reflex; important in maintaining balance. CROSSED-EXTENSOR
Produces a rapid withdrawal of the body part from a painful stimulus; ipsilateral. FLEXOR REFLEX
The glossopharyngeal nerve is the only cranial nerve that contains sensory fibers. FALSE
Sympathetic division stimulation causes __________. INCREASED BLOOD GLUCOSE , DECREASED GI PERISTALSIS, AND INCREASED HEART RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE.
Through direct neural stimulation, the sympathetic division promotes many metabolic effects via hormone release. TRUE
Fibers that enter and leave the sympathetic chain without synapsing form structures called _________ SPLANCHNIC NERVES
Parasymapathetic functions include __________ LENS ACCOMMODATION FOR CLOSE VISION
Beta-blockers DECREASE HEART RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE
Which is a uniquely sympathetic function? REGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATURE
The route of major parasympathetic outflow from the head is via the ____________ VAGUS (X) NERVE
Visceral reflex arcs differ from somatic in that VISCERAL ARCS INVOLVE TWO MOTOR NEURONS
The craniosacral division is another name for the parasympathetic division. T/F TRUE
The possibility of some control over autonomic responses is demonstrated by ______________ BIOFEEDBACK
Erection (vasodilation) of the penis or clitoris IS PRIMARILY UNDER PARASYMPATHETIC CONTROL
Most body organs are innervated by only the sympathetic division of the nervous system. T/F FALSE
Emotion influence autonomic reactions primarily through integration in the ______________ HYPOTHALAMUS
Most blood vessels are innervated by the sympathetic division alone TRUE
Acetylcholine is the substance released by the axonal ending of the somatic efferent fibers and by the parasymparathetic nerve fiber endings. T/F TRUE
The only cranial nerves to extend beyond the head and neck region are the vagus nerves. TRUE
Receptors for this nerve are located in epithelium of the nasal cavity. OLFACTORY
The second cranial nerve forms a chiasma at the base for part
The autonomic nervous systems may cause activation or inhibition, depending on the division that is active and the target that is affected. TRUE
Which of the following does NOT described the ANS? A SYSTEM OF MOTOR NEURONS THAT INNERVATES ALL MUSCLE CELLS
A drug that might be used specifically to reduce heart rate in cardiac patients could be ____________ BETA-BLOCKERS
Preparing the body for the "fight-or-flight" response is the role of the ____________ SYSPATHETIC (DIVISION) NERVOUS SYSTEM
Thermoregulatory response to increased heat are mediated by the sympathetic nervous division. T/F TRUE
Alpha-adrenergic effects are usually stimulatory and mediatory. T/F TRUE
Most disorders of the autonomic nervous system reflect abnormalities of smooth muscle control. T/F TRUE
The secretions of the adrenal medulla act supplement the effects of ____________ SYMPATHETIC STIMULATION
Because the ANS is a visceral motor system, afferent pathways are of no importance and actually are rarely found. T/F FALSE
Which of the following is NOT a result of parasympathetic stimulation? DILATlION OF THE PUPILS
Sympathetic nerves may leave the spinal cord at which vertebra? FIRST THORACIC
Which of these effectors is NOT directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system? SKELETAL MULSCLE
Cardiovascular effects of the sympathetic division include all except ______________ DILATION OF THE BLOOD VESSELS SERVING THE SKIN AND DIGESTIVE VISCERA
The " resting and digesting" division of the autonomic nerve system is the PARASYMPATHETIC DIVISION
Sympathetic responses generally are widespread because __________________ NE AND EPINEPHRINE ARE SECRETED INTO THE BLOOD AS PART OF THE SYMPATHETIC RESPONSE
