Question
Answer
the _____division of the autonomic nervous system is said to function during "fight or flight"   sympathetic  
🗑
the parasympathetic nervous system is expecially active durig which physiological state   digestion  
🗑
parasympathetic functions include all of the following except   dilation of the airways---SO IT IS decrease in the rate of cardiac contraction, increased secretion by salivary glands, stimulation of urination, stimulation of defecation  
🗑
the regulation of blood pressure depends upon   both parasympathetic and sympathetic levels os stimulation  
🗑
drugs that have effects similar to those of sympathetic sctivation are called sympathomimetic drugs. Which of teh following would you not expect to observe in a person who has taken a sypathomimetic drug   decreased blood pressure  
🗑
tom suffers from hypertension (high blood pressure) which of the following might help deal with his probel? a drug that   bloaks beta receptors in cardiac muscle tissue  
🗑
the parasympathetic nervous system is especially active during which physiological state?   digestion  
🗑
dual innervation refers to an organ receiving   both sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation  
🗑
autonomic tone is an important aspect of ANS function because it   allows ANS neurons to increase or decrease their activity, providing a range of control options  
🗑
a decrease in the sutonomic tone of the smooth muscle in a blood vessel would result in   an increase in blood flow through the vessel  
🗑
the suprarenal medulla secretes   both epinephrine and norepinephrine  
🗑
which of teh following would lead to increased heart rate   increased sypathetic input and decreased parasympathetic input  
🗑
which of the following is essential for memory consolidation   limbic system  
🗑
mechanisms involved in memory foramtion and storage involve all of the following, except   anterograde amnesia---SO IT IS increased release of neurotransmitters, formation of additional synaptic connections, the formation of memory engrams, faciliation at synapses  
🗑
long-term memories that are with you for a lifetime are called   tertiary memories  
🗑
conversion of a short-term memory to a long-term memory is called   memory consolidation  
🗑
the conscious state is maintained by the   reticular activating system  
🗑
the regulation of awake-asleep cycles appears to involve an interplay between different neurotransmitters. The one that favors alertness is ___ and the other promoting deep sleep is _____.   norepinephrine; serotonin  
🗑
changes in the central nervous system that accompany aging include   reduction in brain size and weight, decrease in the number of neurons, decreased blood flow to the brain, and changes in synaptic organization in the brain  
🗑
active dreaming occurs in this state   REM sleep  
🗑
Jim was in automobile accident and is no longer able to store new memories. However, his memories of past events are still intact. Jim is most likely suffering from   anterograde amnesia  
🗑
what neurotransmitter is released from all neurons of the parasympathetic division of the ANS?   acetylcholine  
🗑
the parasympathetic division of teh ANS innervates all of the following structures except   skeletal muscles ----SO IT IS the heart, organs of the digestive system, the urinary system and respiratory passageways  
🗑
a single neural circuit that corresponds to a single memory is referred to as a   memory engram  
🗑
the rate at which a short-term memory is converted into a long-term memory is affected by   the nature of teh stimulus, the frequency of teh stimulus, and the intensity of the stimulus  
🗑
all of the following are true of the nervous system, except that it does not   function independently of the endocrine system----IT DOES respond rapidly to stimuli, respond specifically to stimuli, communicate by the release of neurotransmitters, and act to preserve homeostasis  
🗑
____ are chemical messengers that are released in one tissue and transported in the bloodstream to alter the activities of specific cells in other tissues   hormones  
🗑
a simple endocrine reflex involves ____ hormone(s)   one  
🗑
hormonal actions on cells include those that affect   quantities of enzymes, activities of enzymes, and sythesis of enzymes  
🗑
hormone releae may be controlled by which of the following factors   blood level of ion, blood level of glucose, blood level of a hormone, and nervous stimuli  
🗑
the primary function of ADH is to   decrese the amount of water lost at the kidneys  
🗑
the hypothalamus controls the activities of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland by   secreting releasing and inhibiting factors  
🗑
the hypotalamus synthesizes   ADH and oxytocin  
🗑
the anterior lobe of teh pituitary gland releases   FSH, TSH, ACTH, GH  
🗑
the posterior pituitary gland secretes   ADH  
🗑
the pituitary hormone that controls the release of glucocorticoids from the suprarenal cortex is   ACTH  
🗑
the pituitary hormone that promotes egg development in ovaries and sperm development in testes is   FSH  
🗑
which of the following elements is necessary for the production of thyroid hormone   iodine  
🗑
mental and physical sluggishness and low body temperature may be signs of   hypothyroidism  
🗑
the C cells of the thyroid gland produce   calcitonin  
🗑
before the discovery of these glands, thyroid surgery often led to a rapid drop in blood calcium levels, whcih triggered muscle contractionc and cardiac arrhythmias. what glands are these and which hormone is lacking   parathyroid glands; parathyroid hormone  
🗑
a hormone that helps to regulate the sodium ion content of the body is   aldosterone  
🗑
cells of the suprarenal cortex produce   ADH  
🗑
which of the following hormones increases and prolongs effects of the sympathetic nervous system?   epinephrine  
🗑
which group of hormones cause an anti-inflammatory action   glucocorticoids  
🗑
if a diabetic patient received too mcuh insulin, the low blood sugar could be corrected by injecting   glucagon  
🗑
the beta cells of teh pancreatic islets produce   insulin  
🗑
inability of the pancreas to produce insulin results in   diabetes mellitus

🗑
