QuestionAnswer
“Fight-or-flight” physiological changes include all of the following except: constriction of respiratory airways.
Parasympathetic neuron cell bodies are located in: nuclei of the brainstem and the lateral gray columns of the sacral cord.
The innermost layer of the meninges is the pia mater.
The phrenic nerve is found in the _____ plexus. cervical
Impulses from which system play a part in arousing or alerting the cerebrum? Reticular activating system
Sensory neurons can operate in autonomic reflex arcs. true
The pyramids are formed in the: medulla
Some parasympathetic postganglionic neurons have their cell bodies in nuclei in the brainstem. False
Which of the following is not a plexus of the spinal nerves? Thoracic
The layer of the meninges that serves as the inner periosteum of the cranial bone is the: dura mater.
There are _____ ventricles in the brain. four
Conduction to autonomic effectors requires only one efferent neuron. false
The peripheral nervous system includes: only cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and their branches.
Beta receptors: bind norepinephrine.
Which of the following cranial nerves is responsible for movements of the tongue? Hypoglossal
The brain has _____ major divisions. six
All cell bodies of the autonomic nervous system are located within the CNS. False
f 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.
Which of the following might occur from the stimulation of parasympathetic fibers? Increased peristalsis in the digestive tract
The brainstem does not include the: cerebellum.
Several “vital centers” are located in the: medulla
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
Which of the following is not true of the lateral corticospinal tract fibers? Most inhibit the lower motor neuron.
Which is not true about sympathetic postganglionic neurons? They produce acetylcholine.
The autonomic nervous system includes only efferent neurons. False!
The cervical plexus: -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. All of the above are correct
Which part of the brain releases the hormone melatonin? Pineal gland
All of the following are characteristics of sympathetic preganglionic neurons except: they have long fibers from CNS to ganglion.
Spinal nerves are _____ fibers. motor and sensory
The nerve commonly called the vagus nerve is the _____ cranial. tenth
Visceral effectors are innervated by sympathetic fibers. true
Which part of the vertebral column has one more pair of nerves coming from it than it has vertebrae? Cervical
Cerebrospinal fluid is found in all of the following except the: subdural space.

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 sensory cranial nerves include only the: olfactory, optic, and vestibulocochlear.
Effectors that have single innervation by the autonomic nervous system are innervated only by the parasympathetic division. False!
The part(s) of the cerebrum associated with anger, fear, and sorrow is (are) the: limbic system.
Nerve fibers of the spinothalamic tract are: sensory.

The spinal nerves are connected to the spinal cord and consist of _____ pairs. 31
Which plexus contains nerves that innervate the lower part of the shoulder and the entire arm? Brachial
Formation of the cerebrospinal fluid occurs in the choroid plexus.
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 ventral rami of most spinal nerves subdivide to form complex networks called plexuses.
If you trace the axon inside the sympathetic chain ganglion, the preganglionic fiber branches along which pathway? all of the above
The dorsal root of each spinal nerve is easily recognized as a swelling called the dorsal root ganglion.
