Phys week 8 - Ch 20,21,22

If the center of a reflex arc is the brain, the response it mediates is called a Cranial reflex
The limbic system integrates emotion
The effect of sympathetic stimulation on the urinary bladder is Relaxation
The groove between the frontal and parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex is the central sulcus.
The most numerous cerebral tracts are the association tracts.
The second largest part of the brain, located just below the posterior portion of the cerebrum, is the Cerebellum
Which of the following is NOT an example of sympathetic stimulation? constriction of the bronchioles decreased secretion of the pancreas constriction of the urinary sphincters dilation of skeletal muscle blood vessels Answer: constriction of the bronchioles
The _____ is an extension of the great toe, with or without fanning of the other toes, in response to stimulation of the outer margin of the sole of the foot. Babinski sign
Another name for the parasympathetic nervous system is the nervous system. craniosacral
Which cranial nerve is responsible for the sense of smell? olfactory
The somatic motor system includes all the _____ motor pathways _____ the CNS. voluntary; within
The cortex is capable of storing and retrieving information from both short-term and long-term Memory
Axon terminals of autonomic neurons release either of two neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and acetylcholine.
Acetylcholine binds to _____ receptors. cholinergic
A _____ is a skeletal muscle or group of muscles that receives motor axons from a given spinal nerve. Myotome
“Fight or flight” physiological changes include all of the following EXCEPT increased conversion of glycogen to glucose. constriction of respiratory airways. increased perspiration. dilation of blood vessels in skeletal muscles. Answer: constriction of respiratory airways
A reflex consists of either a muscle contraction or a muscle stretch. muscle relaxation. glandular secretion. glandular excretion. Answer: glandular secretion
The set of coordinated commands that control the programmed muscle activity mediated by extrapyramidal pathways is called the motor program
Tongue movement is controlled by which cranial nerve? hypoglossal
The reticular activating system maintains consciousness
Each skin surface area supplied by sensory fibers of a given spinal nerve is a Dermatome
The two main types of adrenergic receptors are Alpha and Beta
Mixed cranial nerves contain axons of Sensory and Motor neurons
Which of the following is NOT correct? Sympathetic preganglionic axons pass along the dorsal root of certain spinal nerves.
The _____ consists of several structures that lie beneath the thalamus and form the floor of the third ventricle and the lower part of its lateral walls. Hypothalamus
The action of acetylcholine is quickly terminated by its being hydrolyzed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase
Both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are tonically active, which means they continually conduct impulses to autonomic effectors.
Which region of the brain plays a part in the mechanism responsible for emotions by associating sensory impulses with feelings of pleasantness and unpleasantness? Thalamus
The _____ nerve transmits impulses that result in sensations of equilibrium. Vestibular
Many cerebral functions have typical locations. This fact is known as cerebral localization
The part of the brain that can directly influence or inhibit the release of hormones from the pituitary is the: hypothalamus
Somatic motor and autonomic pathways share all of the following characteristics except: number of neurons between central nervous system (CNS) and effector.
Which is(are) the neurotransmitter(s) in a somatic motor pathway? Acetylcholine
All of the following cranial nerves are involved in proprioception except the: vagus
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. do all of th
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.
Parasympathetic stimulation has no effect on any of the following areas except: sweat glands
Norepinephrine is liberated at: most sympathetic postganglionic nerve endings
The parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions always act with a cooperative influence, and through summation of the impulses, the effect can be increased. 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.
Danielle has sustained an injury that has reduced her ability to complete simple tasks such as lifting a pencil, manipulating eating utensils, and brushing her hair. The injury has affected the _____ motor pathways _____ the central nervous system (CNS). voluntary; outside
If the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal nerve were destroyed, a person would lose _____ related to that pathway. Sensory perception
Conduction by the sixth cranial nerve results in sensations of hearing. False
Which of the following is not an example of sympathetic stimulation? Constriction of the bronchioles
All of the following are examples of parasympathetic stimulation except: increased heart rate
Biofeedback involves willful control of specific effectors normally controlled only autonomically. True
The cerebellum acts with the _____ to produce skilled movement. Cerebrum
Most effectors of the autonomic nervous system are dually innervated by sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons True
Which of the following is not associated with the oculomotor nerve? Closing and opening of the eye (blink reflex)
Nerves that innervate the floor of the pelvic cavity and some of the surrounding areas are found in the _____ plexus. coccygeal
