AP 3 | Exam 2026 – 70+ Correct Questions & Answers | Nervous System, Reflexes, Special Senses

This document contains over 70 accurately answered, exam-style questions for the Anatomy and Physiology 3 (AP 3) course, tailored for the 2026 academic session. It is an up-to-date and exam-relevant review resource designed to support students in mastering complex topics within neuroanatomy, sensory physiology, and the autonomic nervous system. The questions cover essential areas such as neuron structure and function, myelin formation, types of glial cells, resting and action potentials, synaptic transmission (e.g., cholinergic synapses), and the mechanisms of saltatory conduction. Reflex physiology is thoroughly tested, including visceral and somatic reflex arcs, spinal cord functions, and the enteric nervous system. Additionally, the document explores sensory systems such as vision and hearing, including components of the eye and ear, photoreceptors, and vestibular structures. Each item is presented with a clearly marked correct answer, making this an efficient self-study guide. The content reflects current curriculum standards and is particularly useful for: Undergraduate students in health sciences, biology, or pre-med programs Nursing students needing deeper review of neuro and sensory systems Anatomy & physiology exam preparation at diploma, associate, or bachelor level Learners preparing for final exams or practical assessments Keywords: neuron structure, dendrites, synaptic transmission, myelin sheath, schwann cells, oligodendrocytes, graded potentials, saltatory conduction, cholinergic synapse, resting membrane potential, action potential, inhibitory neurotransmitters, GABA, reflex arcs, visceral reflex, somatic reflex, autonomic nervous system, baroreceptors, spinal cord, brain meninges, cranial nerves, corpus callosum, optic disc, cochlear hair cells, semicircular ducts, hypothalamus, sympathetic division, photopic vision, accommodation reflex
